How do I call him daddy

How do I call him dad?

When he makes my world crawl and scrolls
Back to evil.
When he turns my butter
to bitter.
How do I call him daddy?

He just turned my life
back to square one
Back to the misery
I experienced back in those days.
How do I call him daddy?

Where everything seemed impossible and world turned against me.
Almost losing my life
to these vulnerable valtures of dark forest
Thats smelling seeds of dirty deeds indeed.
How do I call him daddy?

Getting things was like getting Xmas once in a year. As he took his time to deliver in time.
Now he's to proud of well educated son, that je never truly support throughout this lifetime journey. How do I call him daddy?

Gone are those days
where you made a yoh! yoh! like a bounce ball.
Gone are those days when I could stand for my own and deliver for myself. Today I am a man of my words
Man of my own.
How do I call him daddy?

My grandmother
Made me believe
She made me stronger
As I was weak
Appeared when I lost hope and smelling death
under the shadow of death. She made me
She built me
She produced a man.
Am man that I am proud to call Bulelani Happyboy Mbanya.

Through sorrows and shame
Through sores stored in sails of pain in Spain.
Through heavyweight spells and sores of life.
I am still alive.
How do I call him daddy?
