You said I would always be,
The same idiot you made me out to be.
You tried keeping me down,
Holding me under water hoping I would drown.
But I rose beyond your expectations,
Not knowing any limitations.
Who's up and who's down now?
Still you ask yourself, how?
Your words and hate hurted bad enough,
The only thing I learned was to be tough.
My life is very different today,
I left you and my pain in my yesterday.
It's funny how the world spins,
How you always end up paying for your sins.
But don't worry and don't be sad,
Life isn't all that bad dad.
