1
Push, push, push, push
2
Push, push, here it comes
3
It's, it's a girl
4
1971 a young girl gave birth
5
Only a child, bringin' another child on this earth
6
Only 15 years of age
7
But comin' from the ghetto, it won't make the front page
8
See, that's the way shit go
9
And to the government she ain't nothin' but another hoe
10
Thinkin' all she want is food stamps
11
Give her a check and let her hang with the school tramps
12
And mama's gettin' mad
13
'Cause now she gotta watch her little girl grow up fast
14
Straight ghetto life, straight ghetto drama
15
Wanted a baby doll, now she's somebody's mama
16
And life is so confusin' to her
17
Askin' herself why is this happenin' to her
18
So now she gotta choose
19
Between a box of Pampers and a pair of new tennis shoes
20
Never had to make that choice before
21
Never heard a baby's voice before
22
And the daddy ain't nowhere to be found
23
Too busy bein' a hoe around town
24
He just fall into another statistic
25
Claimin' black men don't do shit
26
But that's the way it is
27
And little do they know daddy also sheds tears
28
'Cause he don't know what to do
29
Be a father to his child, or run with a crew
30
You might say, easy choice, be a father
31
But why should he do it when his father didn't bother?
32
Just another sample, I guess
33
Of black men settin' bad examples
34
Thinkin' deep about the whole thing
35
Takes his last bit of money and goes to buy a gold ring
36
And asks her to marry her
37
Promise to get a job, so he can carry her
38
Thinkin' that's the way to do it
39
But little do they know that there's much more to it
40
'Cause marriage is demandin'
41
It takes lots of patience and understandin'
42
But they go and tie the knot anyway
43
And they'll be gettin' their own crib any day
44
The first couple of months were alright
45
A new crib, adaptin' to a new life
46
But then came the arguments
47
And the constant fightin' got 'em thrown out their apartment
48
So now they gotta move in with her momma
49
And that just adds to the muthafuckin' problems
50
'Cause now he's feelin' like he failed
51
And while they asleep he grabs his shit and bails
52
Smooth out the do', black
53
And never takes another look back
54
Now grandma's house is an unhappy home
55
Now that daddy's gone, daddy's gone, yeah
56
Daddy broke before I stepped in this muthafucka
57
And left the job to be done by my mother's mother
58
Raised up by my grandmother's son
59
'Cause my mark-ass daddy never came around for guidance
60
So now I'm forced to stand up on my own two
61
'Cause mommy dear had to work three jobs, duke
62
He didn't even want my friendship
63
I guess the mark-ass nigga wasn't down to begin with
64
Too late to come around with his drunk ass
65
And beatin' up my mom with his punk ass
66
And shit got dread
67
I guess I shouldn't talk so bad about my dad
68
So here it is, brothers
69
If you gon' have babies, you need to father them muthafuckas
70
'Cause if you don't in due time
71
Your kids'll speak about daddy exactly like I do mine
72
So do yourself a favor
73
Take your kids to the park, buy 'em shit, and they'll pay you later
74
But paying's not the issue
75
If you'd die right now your little kids wouldn't even miss you
76
So put away your caddy
77
Call your bitch up and tell her to make room for daddy
78
'Cause if you don't you'll be alone
79
And the only thing they'll say about daddy, is daddy is gone
80
Daddy's gone, yeah
