We’re not fam, we’re related

We’re not fam, we’re related
Ya dig?
We’re not fam, remember?
I'm ‘barely your kid’.
Don’t let convenience guise your sorted past
Don’t let me being grown let you forget you never wiped my ass
Never read me a prayer
Never braided my hair
Never were you ever there.
Yet you return with a blank stare.
Your absence didn’t make my young heart grow fonder
I'm still sittin here, like I'm 3 again, wonderin’...
Who you are?
And where I came from
And why you left
And why now you want to come back.
To the mess you made that She cleaned up
For 21 years and now you pop up so abrupt
Wasn't my birthday enough for a call?
Wasn't my stumble enough for you to catch my fall? No, huh?
Well catch my drift...
I've made it thus far, with the door to my life ajar
and you slowly shut it.
Now my growth is complete and surprise, you want to meet.
See my family you say? Nah, we're just related.
