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 |
