Lyrics:
Step Parenting
Is more like Step into Parenting
Sometimes Step in it parenting
Trying not to Step in step out parenting
Different skin tones deceive
Yes he’s with me
He may be screaming
And tensions are steaming
Too late did I figure
Out his latest trigger
Through misstep and splatter
I’ll love him no matter
Step Parenting
Is more like Step into Parenting
Sometimes Step in it parenting
Trying not to Step in step out parenting
Wicked we’re not [no] but perfect neither
Like the time I put your soda in the freezer
Time to deal with poo
Last time it was me, this time too
Now you suspect a fever
I didn’t notice either
Morning hugs makes it worth it
Even though I wasn’t there when she birthed [it] ‘em
It’s true that love is just as strong
As blood to form that bond
Step Parenting
Is more like Step into Parenting
Sometimes Step in it parenting
Trying not to Step in step out parenting
This teen is complex
Got me locked out and vexed
She says she wants space
But help says her face
A mess she is leaving
Is that moping or grieving?
That hug says she means it
You’re in … for the minute
Step Parenting
Is more like Step into Parenting
Sometimes Step in it parenting
Trying not to Step in step out parenting
Mom’s always right
But I’m here in this fight
For their top care
Bureaucracy beware
No, I can’t sign it
But the form, I can find it
Plenty of responsibility
Little authority or visibility
Step Parenting
Is more like Step into Parenting
Sometimes Step in it parenting
Trying not to Step in step out parenting
