Lyrics
Momma I know you wish I was alive
I was tired of pain. To tired to cry
Daddy treated me as if I was a lie
He wanted your money.
He said time for me to die
Master plan thought out
Daddies? totally insane
That?s how I wound up Momma
Getting? hit by the train
There was no evidence
He was eaten with his greed
Money had to be his momma
Before I turned eight-teen.
Master Plan
His Master Plan
He waited for you to go to work that night.
Everything going perfectly. Stayin? out of sight
He bound and gagged and took me for a ride
All he thought about was his damn selfish pride
Master plan thought out
Daddies? totally insane
That?s how I wound up Momma
Getting? hit by the train
There was no evidence
He was eaten with his greed
Money had to be his momma
Before I turned eight-teen.
Master Plan
His Master Plan
Daddy wanted your money. He said time for me to die.
If you?re reading this letter, you know truth to his lie.
I was tired of his pain. To tired to cry.
Momma I know you wish I was alive
