This is real this is real

Now i see them giving the woman abortion to kill another baby

Miscarriage and misfortune and premature crack baby
Strength of rastafari i?m hoping someday
Maybe they don?t obey their parents maybe they will obey me


Future for the babies hopes for the babies
Tomorrow 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 a shake it
Strip down ?til 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 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 rastafari 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


A woman needs caring sharing love all the time
(no don?t you ever fail me)
A child needs loving caring


And always do your 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 rastafari i?m hoping someday
Maybe they don?t obey their parents maybe they will obey me


History of the babies beginning of the ages
You?re flipping through the pages and up and through 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 is what they?re faced with upon a daily basis
Bleaching out dem faces running from dem races
Shooting up dem places killing other babies


As bitter as the taste is and words cannot explain it
Just walk the narrow pavement and speak of love not hatred
