about

Mickey's Boy is the title track. I reopen old wounds with this one. Its all facts and really no diggs at my mother. I'm just telling my side of the story, or at least from my perspective.

lyrics

Round and round, around we go.. I tried not let my feelings show.. Round and round, around we go.. I tried to block out all the things I know.. Round and round, around we go.. Round and round, around we go.. Round and round, around we go, I tried to block out all the things I know..

Dear ma, I've always had to deal with favoritism, wrote my own story, no plagiarism, Middle child syndrome, I found me, when I discovered rap. who's he want to be, and why do you encourage that? but it's whatever, I ain't never had cheerleaders, plus you was always was going out, you never there neither. Many nights you left us sleeping over nana's house, I stay awake, because I could see how these things were panning out. Always having some bum niggas around. I just want my life, that's how dumb you use to sound. Dear ma, I recall these memories, vividly.. And if you stayed with Micky, we would have lived life differently. psychiatrist asking me why I'm mad. You forever complaining about shit that we never had.. We really had it that bad, I mean it's really sad, if I ever needed something, told me go and Ask my dad. fuck..

Round and round, around we go.. I tried not let my feelings show.. Round and round, around we go.. I tried to block out all the things I know.. Round and round, around we go.. Round and round, around we go.. Round and round, around we go, I tried to block out all the things I know..

Tension so thick,that you can cut with a knife, and some of the shit I seen as a child, fucking scarred me for life. Broken home and strife, you never came home some nights. telling my side of the story bringing shit into light. Look I'll Never forget the shit that was said, how I was a nobody and you wished I was dead. Some days I just lay in the bed, the words replay in my head. And just the thought of our past, sometimes makes me fucking see red. uh, Keep telling yourself you did a good job, you'd rather carry louis vuitton bag, instead of being a mom. I could never be calm, ima walking time bomb. Things blew up in your face, he couldn't keep you from harm. I'm been battling demons, cleaning out my closet, I figured out the reason, why I'm bothered and who caused it. shit it's really fucking sad, if I ever needed something, told me go and Ask my dad. Fuck..

Round and round, around we go.. I tried not let my feelings show.. Round and round, around we go.. I tried to block out all the things I know.. Round and round, around we go.. Round and round, around we go.. Round and round, around we go, I tried to block out all the things I know..
