Mother
She lie
She get by
He’s a guy
He’s so sly
She got no father
Just a fake stepfather
He got a family
All in jail, actually
They are meant for each other
They’re expecting, so she’ll soon be a mother
Their others a girl, now she’ll have a brother
They don’t own a house, they’d rather squatter
Thrown out again, forever living in squalor
Not a dollar for food, now she’s a robber
She’ll be living with in-laws soon, wearing a collar
So yes, the little girl and me the brother
We once called her, our dearly beloved mother.
