[Verse 1- 2 E-Z]
Yo lil billy was only 6 years old
Daddy beat him till his blood ran cold
Billy had high grades and high expectations
Teachers said he would be one of the best mathematicians
But daddy always said that he'd amount to nothin'
But Billy was determined to show everybody somethin
You see, Billy had a dream that dream was pretty big
He would never be a father who had to beat on his kid
But his daddy didn't let him, No he didn't let him try
Beat his kid till there was blood in his eye
After he was done he almost shed a tear
He knew he took his little boy outta here
Now Billy's gone and he's in a better place
Where Fathers don't drink nor punch him in the face
So now i bow my head and we all say grace

[ Verse 2- 2 E-Z]
Now listen here its another story i gotta tell ya
About Jenni whos momma was a failure
She grew up in the projects, she knew about the streets
And her motha was on d** since the day that she was three
She tried to help her momma, but momma wouldn't have it
It was bad enough her daughter had to worked three jobs
But her momma was fried had to drag her to bed and close the door knob
