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]
