When I Grow Up

[Nadira...Rare]

When I grow up I want to be a princess
When I grow up I want to be a lawyer
When I grow up I want to be a doctor
When I grow up I want to be a movie star
Visions of who I wished to be were nice but...
My dreams were deferred by a reality interupted with life
When I grow up I want to be a junky
When I grow up I want to be abused
Its okay it happens to mommy
When I grow up I want to be an alcoholic
When I grow up I want to be alone
Once upon a time I had hope
But hope sinks when despair is attached

What are we teaching our children?

When I grow up I want to be an engineer
When I grow up I want to be a fireman
When I grow up I want to be an astronaut
When I grow up I want to be a police officer...
Man Fukk the police
When I grow up I want to be a drug dealer
When I grow up I want to be in a gang
Word, kid that's whats up get a little bigger daddy'll teach you how to bang
When I grow up I want to be a pimp
When I grow up I want to abandon my resposibilities
I mean.... what the hell my daddy did it to me

Role models...
How many of us have them
Mommy, Daddy teach me
