To My Mother that is My Father

Quick question
Can a women be a man?
Is transgender so new to us all?
Its just a new word for someone to take the fall.
My mom was my dad when he was not around
Even when he came back he sort of lacked that presence I saw in other parents
See my papa dad father was a rolling stone
He had three kids by three different women but he knew how to phone home
For some . .. . fill in the blank
Back to my mother/father
She is was & always will be my third eye
She unlocks every cheat code in my life without me knowing
She took the sword that my dad left in my stone cold heart
Mama says stop being a baby
Mama says stop letting people get over & go overboard with your heart
My mom is the elastic holding my rubberband of a heart together
My mom was rough with me but in the most beautiful way
See i didnt know it then but I know it now
My mom was so tough because my daddy was alil too rough
So she taught me how to grow alil buff with an attitude
Be a man even though I was a woman.

Be bold even though society will always think of you as shell of a person.
Funny how the word "woman" has a the word "man" in every woman is the strength of a man.
So i thank my mother for being my father when he was not there but was there.
I thank her for being my Mia, Angela, Serena & Shakur that only courses through my blood.

She is the M.A.S.S. effect in my heart that can not and will not be cured. To my mother that is my father.
