These foster families think they are better than us
Saying all we know how to do if fight and fuss
Back biting saying, "Your parents were never there"
Poisoning our minds with words of "Your parents don't care"
Yelling, "You just can't seem to do anything right"
Placing themselves higher than us; they hold a powerful might
Criticizing our families of being worthless and uneducated
Constantly reminding us that we were separated
We are belittled, while they stand above
Saying, "No one has taught you the meaning of love"
Constantly verbalizing, Love is when your family keeps you, not give you away
But they don't love us; they do it for the pay
Telling us that we'll only go from home to home
Why won't these foster parents just leave us alone?
They act like we never been to any place above a dollar
Around our necks they tighten collars
We don't have the same privileges as their own kids
Because we are oppressed by what our parents did
Reminding us of our parents mistake, like they don't have their mistakes
I wonder if they do this to every foster child they take?
