--Lyrics--


VERSE 1:
Worry resides in her eyes, lays low an kept in tears/
How she be in this predicament in only 21 years?/
Met a boy with whom she thought she had a man/
but when real life startd, he didnt stand a chance/
When they broke off, they split ways, but that wasnt all, was it?/
cuz now exists another life, kickin in her stomach/
Growin the way life does, shes gathers strength from it/
but closure aint cometh, so many questions remain/
Her life bout to change, and never be the same/
negates the man who gave her a burden and a blessing/
No time for her own future, got her stressin out/
no mo college, no mo internships, dreams x'in out/
Punchin that clock, 9-5 leadin the way/
budgets ahead 9 months on menial pay/
see it this way, shes gotta make it out alive/
young woman with no option but to child provide/

HOOK:
Thats wat they call life, for some you cant judge it/
it can be cruel sometimes, so ya, searchin for an answer/
this one now is the story of (a man/a baby girl/ a family)/
Try to relate and Try to understand/

VERSE 2:
Fell and droppd, scratch that, he was kicked outta love/
sunken ship, couldnt find the buoyancy to get above/
So he popped anythin that liftd, livin' aimlessly/
trippn an spinnin, clarity he cant quite see/
Abandoned his ship, left his girl castaway/
he tried to see what itd be like if he passed away/
Blast away all the pain if it were all so simple/
discard his heavy habits out into the water, watch it ripple/
Bombarded by the calls, ducks behind words and deception/
theif in the nite escapin from their mistaken conception/
Todays depression, was much like that of yesterday/
if he fumbles another life hes sure hed have hell to pay/
They wouldnt abort, will they afford it? this is real/
its either shape up or ship out, shes made that much clear/
Desperate to be there, but he dont know how cuz/
he was never loved enough by his own fathers blood.

VERSE 3:
Imagine this now, the story skips ahead/
ask a 4 year old girl and "your father figures dead"/
says mommy, "cuz daddy never changed none of his habits"/
How sad it is, her dad is absent as a ballot/
Young lady, never get the chance to father-know/
shes a rose grew from concrete, no choice shes gotta grow/
and leave behind wat coulda been, she only wishes/
that the single parent cycle wasnt so viscious/
In due time, shell see distrust and how she hates men/
not cuz of them in particular but how her case been/
Builds now, but theres an emotional displacement/
her esteem shes wastin, shes far from complacent/
man chasin as an adult, ma's advice couldnt be heeded/
love is wat she needed, her hearts all bleedin/
Hope she finds it someday, someone to take her hand/
she aint that bad really, You should Try to understand/
