Part I: Forgiveness

Children grow in the hopes that life is full of promises and religion..
But what they're not gettin' about youth is that due time is against them..
A seed grows in violent conditions but never silently mentions..
The hurt that is felt from his father in every time that he hits him..
The mother, in no mind state to raise a child with indecision..
Who what've guessed she tries suicide then prays but dies in position..
She passes on from the pain of her lost child in remmission..
Never the house-wife but mama died in the kitchen..
Time passes, and child grows and he's manifestin'..
But retains his foolish mentality and the child-like intellect, when..
He knows no better but knows what is incorrect, then..
Never went to school but Majors in crime and Minors in disrespectin'..
In the streets filled with death, he finds that he's loving some scenes..
The only affection he recieves comes from prostitutes and huggin' from theives..
In the midst of the fornication in contracts a transmitted disease..
The dreaded "Die-Slow", now he's feelin' weak in the knees..
Mother in heaven beggin' GOD to spare his soul of the plight..
But the child never knowing what's right could never get a hold of the light..
As he falls into non-being, he's seeing his life in detailed direction..
Only then does he see his mistakes and is ready to pray for redemption..
He gets from the fetal position into the submission of prayer..
But manages to let out "Dear mama, how I wish you were here"..
The child passes on, so sad not even a grown man..
Takes life in his own hands without considering His chosen plan..
Two souls, mother and son in the world of the non-living..
Different as night and day but dies alike - only one forgiven..

Part II: Betrayal

A child is born into the graces of a man and his wife..
But from the beginning he notices the plan - now he's understanding his life..
Father is no good but strives to please but keeps backhandin' his wife..
She gets her hand on a knife but thinks twice when given the chance for the slice..
She realizes, even if he dies it's still his blood that she'll raise..
Because from day one, he's taught the runt to study his ways..
It's funny these days, father is no where close but can't stand to be distant..
The mother doesn't mind, but son can't stand that he's missin'
The boy's birthday arrives and the father finally decides that he's ready..
He buys a machete to elevate the boy to manhood - backwoods at night could be scary..
But here he teaches the son of treachery and mistrust in his mother..
And if anything should happen to dad.... he promised he'll recover
The boy accepts the challenges placed forth by the one that he loves..
The father coldly embraces him thinking wrongly of the one that he hug..
You see, there in the dark the father knows that eventually he'll depart..
And aside from his lessons, he blesses the boy by also sharing his hear..
One night in a clout and confusion, lust takes over the man..
And destiny forced this woman to defend her sanctity till the end..
Days later at funeral proceedings, boy is conversin' wit' dad..
"Don't worry, she'll pay her debts....even if I have to murder the hag!".....
