My legacy ends here, I have no name to lend Because I was born out of wed lock, All I have is the shame to bend.
The truth comes out always When the truth barer passes on; What I believed to be a truth on my side Turns out to be false pretense; nothing but a lie.
Who was my true parent, will I ever know? One thing is for sure, I was not to be procured. And that is apparently something hard to swallow Because being born out of wed lock is so hollow.
My legacy ends here I have no name to lend, Except what was generated out of Grammatical error has to die here in this era.

This is in regards to my last name... for the past 30 years I've thought that this was actually my last name but two years ago I found out the truth.... I have a different last name of the unusual kind...I'll leave it at that.
