Daddy
I never knew you but I wish I had
To be able to look into your eyes and call you “Dad”
Now you’re gone and I’ll never have the chance
To get the details of yours and Mama’s romance
Ya’ll were never married
In fact you belonged to another 
Sneaking and creeping 
All just to see my mother
Was she just a booty call?
Or did you really care?
I was the product
So I believe these questions are fair

Damn Daddy
I never knew you but I wish I had
To be able to call you on the phone and say, “Hey Dad!”
I didn’t even know you existed until the age of sixteen
My stepfather was the King and Mama the Queen
Then you became the guy who planted the seed
Just my biological - besides you had other kids to feed
Then at nineteen more questions arose
Did I inherit his walk, his talk, his eyes, his nose?
Who am I and Who was he?
Mama set up a meeting
So for myself I could see
When you first saw me your eyes filled with tears
What had you been thinking for the past nineteen years?

Damn Daddy
I never knew you but I wish I had
Maybe my experiences with the boys wouldn’t have been so bad
I would have felt much better about me
And not felt so much shame
I would have believed in love
And not treated it as a game
Now the man I’m with is married to another
Sneaking and creeping
Just like so many others
Daddy
I never knew you but I wish I had
To be able to look into your eyes and call you “Dad”
