Baby
Now when the news hit I couldn't
believe the blue strip
Had to sit the bulletin reads
the shoe fits
And I'm clueless I knew
just enough to do this
Though I'm too stressed I
ain't giving up this new gift
See I knew Ms. would be my Mrs.
and I caught
When she blew kisses she knew this
is what I'm for
Wait father hold up please
are we sure
Show'd up a little late just pee
on a few more
It's a male matter you can't fathom
until you there
And you starring at it like
new parents having a kid
Sharing a little tear like how
did we get here
Happy as hell knowing too well
that I'm scared
It's a weak moment knowing
it's only a few weeks
And you keep hoping someone
will show you a few things
Like how to hold them how can
I console them
When I'm worried bout a home
and how will I ever own one
Or a stroller, is it a jogger, is it cheaper,
is it safe
Thank you Foldgers, and you doctors,
for keeping me this awake
I swear I owe you my Mother and
my Father for your strength
Cus I'm a little older and I wonder
if I can offer what you gave
And now she keeps growing she'll
need towing if she don't eat slower
Feet swollen falling asleep
she keeps snoring
Each morning seeing warnings of heat
no weed blowing
Keep showing me we only in spring
got me throwing out my things
Like we only had room for me we in
a one room pad making room
for three
Wanna be a good Dad if I'm soon to be
So I'm moving everything I have
to where the broom should be
We need space for a crib
the bibs the baby bottles
Traces of led paint in chips
that may be swallowed
I'm checking and just in case replace
that dated nozzle
Read that safety for a baby
ain't a maybe or tomorrow
It's a right now and I'm like changing
my life now
Feeling light wow having a baby
just lie down
I'm alright right? It ain't crazy to cry
How many mesters in a Tri I'm guessing
it's maybe five
I'm a rapper, I make music,
it don't pay unless I go Pop
I wonder if I have to get a new gig
for this baby's soon to drop
All I know is what matters is this new
gift this new sense of joy
