And They Ask Me!

By Kevin Brown
And they ask me!
And they ask me!
And they ask me!
And they ask me!
And they ask me, how you know so much at sixteen?
What you mean, you never seen a dysfunctional teen?
Mama cure for me.
Papa wasn’t there for me.
Older brother sold dope and more...it’s a blur for me.
When time got hard, I had to get harder.
I take that back, I had to get smarter.
Hold up, Kevin..let’s get things in order.
