Didn't Ask

[Man and woman arguing while song plays]

[Verse 1:]

Man I wish that y'all would stop fussing

Speak to each other without cussing and have a grown-up discussion

Cause ever since the first moment that I got here

The plot turned chaotic and the true reason was not clear

Daddy's going off daily mommas starting to nag

I felt more comfortable when I was floating in that water bag

Just laying there serenity (yeah)

Now anytime y'all in the same vicinity you go to war like enemies

But the night I was conceived and both of y'all were embracing

I couldn't wait to leave and seek placement

Racing with billions more chasing

Just anxiety waiting to be placed in that sacred destination

And once I came into fruition

And witness y'all crying and kissing I never envisioned being in this position

Proper attention I been missing

Even though I can't talk yet I'm still wishing somebody would listen

[Chorus:]

I just wish that y'all could see clear

(Man I wish that y'all could see clear)

Cause I didn't ask to be here

(Straight up, I ain't even ask to be here)

Why can't you understand me?

(Seeming like nobody understands me)

I just wish we was a family

(Straight up)

[Verse 2:]

I don't think it's right for us to be

Trusted deep in a hateful battle over custody because of me

Sometimes I wonder mayne am I the blame?

I overheard my momma claim she had me to early and wishing I'da came

A little later on in the game

She talks about regretting ever meeting my daddy and giving me his name

And while they arguing over all type of thangs

I'm crying for my pacifier plus I need my diaper changed

My daddy left without kissing me, do he hate me?

And ever since the day he left I really haven't seen him lately

Now momma's on the phone every night, talking to my aunty

About how much money she goin get monthly

And I've been sick all this week I ain't been breathing right

And I be riding round with some new dude that I don't even like

He try'na treat me like I'm his but that's too much to swallow

He ain't my daddy when he tried to pick me up a holla

[Chorus]

[Verse 3:]

I'm witnessing the dissipation of this relationship

Now my time with dad is only weekend visitation

No love in the cars just struggles and wars at next couple at odds

Look at all this trouble I caused

I speak perfect in my mind, I can think without saying

But when I try to say it out loud it just comes out like WAHHH!

The beef showing no signs of squashing (uh-uh) Can't y'all see I'm watching? (uh)

Y'all should of just put me up for adoption (fo real)

And what the hell was daddy thinking?

When he send his new girlfriend over to my momma's house to get me for the weekend

While they was on the front porch cussing and loud-talking

I'm standing up wobbling 'look momma I'm walking'

I look at em and pray em plea

See I'm hoping one day they agree the main purpose from A to Z was raising me (yeah)

And even if y'all relationship burn out

Think about how y'all hatred is gonna make me turn out

[Chorus]
