seem brighter around me
And for starters,
I know I'ma work harder, word
We got home at three in the morning,

F#m
soon as I fell asleep
3: 05, like every five minutes,
then the water broke
A
We on the go, yelling at the cabbie,
Bm

cause he's sort of slow
You know them hospitals all trying to get paid,
no questions
Hear come the doctor's with they drugs,

Anyway, the music got me going away
Like everyday, but it's a blessing,
so I gotta have patience
And she got pregnant on
a Jamaican vacation
So it's all good,
this time well have the baby in a house
I went the hospital route,
I know what they all about (Never again)
So I'm out on tour, in Baltimore

when the water hit the floor (Damn!)
I gotta rock my show, but I gotta go

I give them the truth,
so they approach the situation, with ammunition
A
B
I keep nothing away, they hear everything,
F#m
cause they know how to listen
Teach them the game, so they know they position,
so they can grow
And make decisions, that change the world,
Bm
F#m
and break old tra dition
They put kids in jail,
for a life they ain't even get to start
That's murder too, and it's breaking my heart,
it's breaking our nation apart
We gave the youth all the anger, it's just
A
We ain't taught them, how to express
Bm
F#m
it, and so it's dangerous
You can't talk to them
Unless your language is relating
to what they going through
A
F#m
So busy ignoring them,
you can't see what they showing you
And you wonder, why we called baby- daddy's
and baby- momma's
When we grow up,
A
F#m
we can't act like adult mothers and fathers, yo
I'm so blessed to have a boy and a girl,
everyday they bring joy to my world
