For The Babies |
| Now I see them giving the woman abortion to kill another baby |
| Miscarriage and misfortune and premature crack baby |
| Strength of Ras Tafari I’m hoping someday maybe |
| They don’t obey parents, maybe they will obey me Future for the babies |
| Hopes for the babies |
| Tommorrow for the babies |
| No sorrow for the babies |
| Babies having babies |
| Raising our babies |
| All of these young ladies |
| Give them thanks and praises |
| How long can she take it? |
| Dreams are full of 'maybes', |
| Will she ever make it? |
| Hustles on a daily |
| In the club she shake it, strip down 'till she naked |
| Don’t ever mistake it, Much too real to fake it Need it then she’ll take it She’ll do it for the babies |
| A mother’s love is sacred |
| Now you don’t you ever fail me A woman needs caring, sharing, love all the time (no don’t you ever fail me) |
| A child needs loving, caring… |
| Is there no other option than adoption for you babies |
| You’re raffling and jacketing and auctioning your babies |
| Strength of Ras Tafari I’m hoping someday maybe |
| They don’t obey their parents, maybe they will obey me Cowards play the game thing |
| Fathers do the brave thing |
| And that’s participating |
| He keeps on concentrating |
| There is no debating |
| No running away thing |
| A new life is awakening, From his ejaculating, |
| It’s in the oven baking |
| Takes two for the making |
| He’s right there through the cravings |
| And early morning waking |
| School and educating |
| Sports and recreating, Karate and ballet thing |
| Teenager of today thing |
| Fathers still relating, still communicating |
| And they’ll always embrace him |
| Cause they cannot replace him |
| And always do your very best to keep a promise to your babies |
| And if you can’t be good, at least be honest to your babies |
| The strength of Ras Tafari I’m hoping someday maybe |
| They don’t obey their parents maybe they will o… |
| History of the babies |
| Beginning of the ages |
| You’re flipping thru the pages |
| And up and thru the 80's |
| Some are gang related, Drug affiliated |
| Some intoxicated, Headed for the snake pit |
| And Papa’s locked in cages |
| And Mama’s lacking wages |
| And this what they’re faced with, upon a daily basis |
| Bleaching out dem faces, |
| Running from dem races |
| Shooting up them places |
| Killing other babies |
| As bitter as the taste is, And words can not explain it Just walk the narrow pavement |
| And of love not hatred |
