You left me behind
I had no worth
The little boy
You’d given birth
Your mother raised me
All on her own
From when I was small
Until I was grown
Grandma was strict
And tanned my hide
If I misbehaved
And when I lied
No visits from Mom
Or birthday cards
No letters sent
With best regards
I was an athlete
And I did excel
In every sport
I played very well
Talent scouts came
From many schools
Seeing me play
And breaking the rules
Enticed with money
Along with a car
They made me feel
Like a superstar
I went to college
Played on their team
The NFL
Was more than a dream
I bought her a home
And grandma cried
Asking for nothing
She had her pride
My mom came back
To make amends
I have my own family
And lots of friends
It’s too late now
Mom has returned
I’ll give her nothing
From what I’ve earned
