Yo, they must wanna keep me, 'cause 4 months pass, I'm alive Guess I got what they a Ill Will to survive When I look hard the lights is my eyes I know moms is layin' down, I get bored, start to get live Move side to side, hear loud music and All babies are born with rhythm, that's no lie Solar energize, food flowin' through my mothers tube I'm covered in thick layer of goo
Month two was the least comfortable My umbilical cord me but month 3 was closer, see when pops took moms to see the doc at the clinic But I was saved, he his mind in the last minute Watchin' 'em yell, heard my voice well Feared fist fights, so terrified we fell While they broke up furniture and smashed plates on the I wondered if I am born, I be safe at all

Pops told my moms, "Push and take breaths too Stay calm", holdin' her arm, I'm trying to on Surgical gloves touching my scalp, my head out Everything is blurry, my first screams out Tears pouring down my pops face so proud Wantin' to hold me, but I was so They washed me off and he said, "At least that ain't ugly" me in his arms snuggly, laid me on my mother
Finally, I got to see who held me in her She love me, and yo I plan to overthrow the Y'all about to see this in trouble
