Dead Beat

We Have To Do Better

Dead Beat!

Why should our children have to suffer?

Why should they be counted out?

Why should they have to be put last?

Why should they have to beg for things that they deserve to have?

Why do parents get to choose?

Why do parents give up?

Why do parents think its ok to have these children then throw them away?

Nothing in this world should EVER come before your children.

At the end of the day,

When its all said and done, these children didn’t ask to be here.

I hate to see a child suffer because of the parent.

There are Dead Beat mothers and fathers in this world,

But why have them if they were just a Mistake??

They say they don’t believe in abortions

So why not wrap it up?

Why not give them to a family who isn’t capable to have the same blessing as you, of bearing a child?

Don’t allow the child to suffer, figure out away, there are options.

Kids growing up in the system, fucked up families who could care less if the child eats.

Being physically, mentally, verbal and emotionally abused.

Did we really have these kids to fuck up their lives?

What’s going on in this world today?

Kids being sold for a come up, virginities being taken from innocent souls.

Parents, WE HAVE TO DO BETTER!!

Kids have the power to change how we think.

They have the ability to allow us to have a positive outlook in life.

Mothers leaving theirs kids with anybody, just to party all night.

Laying up with different dudes, looking for LOVE in all the wrong ways.

Fathers don’t want no parts, unless they get what they want.

“If I cant have you, then fuck everything” type of life

Out here in every club and bars with people that have NO KIDS, NO JOB.

LIVING THEIR BEST LIFE

Just because your friends do it doesn’t mean that’s how your supposed to live your life.

Sleeping with everything that comes your way.

So quick to take on their responsibilities, but your KIDS GET NO LOVE!

Kids struggling in school.

Dealing with mental illness.

Taking medications just to remain stable.

Talented in every aspect of the word, but yet you still want NO PARTS!

Parents we HAVE TO DO BETTER!

When these kids get older, they will remember who was there and who wasn’t.

Once they start ACHIEVING THEIR GOALS and SUCCEEDING just don’t think that you will be apart of the PLAN!

When they wanted you there, you were full of excuses.

When they start to show you that they don’t care.

Don’t act like you’ve been there.

Stop being a DEAD BEAT.

We need more KINGS & QUEENS!

Why do our children have to suffer?

Why do we have children, then go our separate ways?

We lay down with people that we don’t even know,

Assume that we love them, when we really don’t.

Once the child is conceived that’s when you start to see,

The true colors of that human being.

We have children being born and put into the system,

Not even getting the chance to know who or where their biological parents could be!

Babies being raised by mothers, daddies don’t claim them,

Daddies taking on the full time job,

mommy disappeared, because this wasn’t the life they had planned.

Why do we put these children through so much,

When it is easy to prevent them from all the heartache and pain?

Our children didn’t ask to be here,

So why should they have to suffer?

Suffer from all the MISTAKES that the “Parents Made”?
