Taking what I deserve

A blow to the back for the spot I left on a bowl-
It's what I deserve
A twist of the fingers for not squaring a shirt sleeve-
It's what I deserve
A pop in the mouth for speaking out of turn-
It's what I deserve
Isn’t it?

But now I do not fight back
Cause I’ve learned what I’ll lose
A father’s love
A mother's right
A child's innocence

A chunk of hair ripped out for some pigtails I wore-
It's what I deserve
A pinch in the side for a shirt that didn’t fit right-
It's what I deserve
A spat in the face for who knows what-
It's what I deserve
Isn’t it?

But now I won’t fight back
Cause I’ve learned what I’ll lose
A father’s love
A mother's right
A child's innocence
Maybe something else
So now I’m taking what I deserve
