The Man with the Black Mustache
Words burn worse than bullets
Any heat could ever push
So I kept my mouth shut
Smoking j's to blow away
That painful paragraph
My heart was aching to say
I started drinking forties
Swallowed up all my regrets
Rapping about bullshit
To avoid my deepest test
The man with the mustache
Smacking Mom across the face
Until he ran out of breath
Ripping her clothes
Just for some sex
A struggle so deep
I cry blood when I weep
Mom loved us to death
Even with a pistol to her head
When I sleep he's right there
He haunts my nightmares
I wonder why he dealt drugs
I get higher from hugs
But sometimes question love
Then ask God up above
Why every day it gets harder
And should I even bother
To call the man with the black mustache
My father
