I won't get to see you get good grades,
I won't even get to teach you spades
I don't even think you'll remember me
I had to do this.
I want you to miss the times we where a disgrace
to our own kind, when we put money over our own kind.
I don't want you to see,
not the tragedy,
or our fate, but the future on your plate
I wanted you to see the stars
so that you can be way past mars
away from here. where the fear still spreads
and I can't hold it off forever,
but I'll try
till the day I die ,
I won't let you shed a tear,
for my own mistakes brought you here
and I never want to see you suffer
I'll muster all the pain myself
so that they can have someone to blame
not for the fame
but their desire
I can't inspire
I'm just a fool
who didn't go to school
