[Verse 1]Baby girl, I can't imagine what it's like for youI got you pregnant, now inside there is a life in youI know you wondering if this is gon' make me think 'bout wifing youLike if you have my first child, would I spend my whole life with you?Now I ain't tryna pick a fight with you, I'm tryna talkNow I ain't tryna spend the night with you, I'm kinda lostSee, I've been giving it some thought lately andFrankly I'm feel like we ain't ready and this.. Hold up now, let me finish!Think about it, baby, me and you we still kids ourselvesHow we gonna raise a kid by ourself?Handle biz by ourself? A nigga barely over 20Where the hell we gon' live? Where am I gon' get that money?I refuse to bring my boy or my girl in this worldWhen I ain't got shit to give 'emAnd I'm not with them niggas who be knocking girls up and skate outSo girl you gotta think about how the options weigh outWhat's the way out?[Hook]And I ain't too proud to tell youThat I cry sometime, I cry sometimes about itAnd girl I know it hurt, but if this world was perfectThen we can make it work but I doubt it[Verse 2]She say "Nigga, you got some nerve to come up to me talking about abortionThis my body nigga, so don't think you finna force shit!See I knew that this is how you act, so typicalSaid you love me oh but now you flipping like reciprocalsIt figures though, I shoulda known that you was just another niggaNo different from them other niggasWho be claiming that they love you just to get up in them drawersKnowing all the right things to say, I let you hit it raw, muthafucka!Now I'm pregnant, you don't wanna get involved, muthafucka?Tryna take away a life, is you God, muthafucka?I don't think so! This a new life up in my stomachRegardless if I'm your wife, this new life here I'mma love itI ain't budging I just do this by my muthafucking selfSee my mama raised me without no motherfucking help from a manBut I still don't understand how you could say thatDid you forget all those conversations that we had way back'bout your father? And you told me that you hate that niggaTalking about he a coward and you so glad that you ain't that niggaCause he left your mama when she had you and he ain't shitAnd here you go doing the same shit... you ain't shit nigga!"[Hook][Verse 3]They say everything happens for a reasonAnd people change like the seasons, then grow apartShe wanted him to show his heart and say he loved herHe spoke the magic words and on the same day he fucked herNow she wide openShe put a ring up on his finger if she couldBut he loved her cause the pussy good but she ain't no wife thoughUh oh! She telling him she missed her period like typosHe panicking, froze up like a mannequinA life grows inside, and now he asking "is it even mine?"What if this bitch ain't even pregnant, dog, could she be lying?And she be crying cause he acting distantLike "ever since I told you this, nigga you acting different"And all his niggas saying these hoes be trapping niggasPlaying with niggas' emotions like they some action figuresSwear they get pregnant for collateral, it's like extortionMan if that bitch really pregnant tell her to get a abortion, but what about your seed nigga?
