Parents are supposed to be there for their children

Even if their lives start to fall apart

You can’t just give up and walk away…

…are leave the state to try to escape

Deadbeats always make up excuses

But quick to point their fingers when things don’t go their way

It’s time to STEP UP

It takes two to tango

You laid down to make him

Then turned around and left him

How can you look at what you created with eyes that’s blind to his pain?

He stays looking for you

And you’re hiding in plain sight

Too bad you’re missing out on a kid that’s beyond amazing

All because you’re too selfish to think past yourself

It’s time to STEP UP

As a father you should be calling your son

You should be the one making him feel loved

There’s no reason for months to go by without a word

But you expect him to call to say what’s up

He needs a man to help him become one

But you’re too busy being a father to another child that’s not yours

It’s time to STEP UP
