Eviction Notice


She was just a little girl
just here a few years unversed in the realities of the world
all she knew is that she had to move
anything that didnt fit in her bag she was gonna lose
but still, she kept the good thoughts
like sunday mornings when her pops would put on the hip hop
and make her breakfast
bananas pancakes was his best dish
a whole day of just him and her
cuz the rest of the week he just worked so hard
too tired and too late in the day for him to go play in the yard
too young to notice the breath he got from the bar
thats why sundays in that apt were so special
so she made a point to wait till then to put on her best shirt
pops always had a funny face funny story to make it a ball
and after breakfast he would always play dolls

but then the smile fell off daddy's face
trips to disneyland were misplaced
and he no longer cooked them delicious pancakes
his love replaced with anger
she would come home from school to strange letters posted to the door
and daddy stopped answering the phone
boxes started occupying her home
the man with the cigar would show up at the door
talking about how they couldnt stay there no more
and her life after that really made her cold
stopped doing what she was told
when she noticed how the man with the cigar was the one in control
and that's how she learned
see she's now my landlord and she once went through it before
so she could a fuck about your story 
if her apts you can no longer afford
