[Verse 1: Tech N9ne]
If my kid has a problem
Its up to me as the guardian to go solve em
Make my life and involve em
Late at night when I call em
I like to hear them say daddy, your song is awesome
Instead of gangbangers in school wont let up
Im fed up, Im wonderin if you could come up and red up
You shut up, negativity cant be found inside my angels
Even though I was stupid, but I put it down
Set trippin, I let it go headed for energetic flow
When Im up to know that I was down and out
But now Im breaded though
I know you saw me rep colors
When I was young and dumb and malicious
Im thankful, that all my blemishes never made you suspicious
Latched on to light thats known to hype
Apparent, you coherent knowing I rapped wrong to right
Love and positivity instilled in my kid
Their family, my family, their mother and I did
Discipline starts at home, even if they cant stand ya
Watch em, fights land, ya clock em, right hand
To stop em thats a man, if you stand up, even add a camera
They wont be James Holmes, and they wont be Adam Lanza
Or John Malvo, Ill flow loud for my child though
Aint raising no Groucho, evil out my house, yo
Instead a me watchin em disappear in the night air
Im at graduation sayin thats my kid right there
[Hook: Cee-Lo Green]
I proudly claim my love
The futures born from my own flesh and blood
All that matters this time
So my prayer is that the sun will always shine
On that sweet child of my mine
[Verse 2: Big K.R.I.T.]
To my unborn I give my all so you could ball like I couldnt
Stay in school and play it smooth and do those things that I wouldnt
Pay attention, keep your distance from ignorant instances
Play an instrument, anything that you want, just envision it
Follow your dreams, no matter what may come and what may fall
Cause aint no shame in failin long as you know you gave your all
Stand up, man up, get a handle on yourself, tighten your belt
Do what you can to do for you and yall just dont
Do it for the wealth that they offer
It sounds awful, but if me and your mama aint talkin
And she said that I aint offerin a call just as often as I should
I pray that you get older and you understand
That I was just doin what I could
When she left me if you have a second I could explain
Like so many transitions in life, your people change
Whether Im on top or dead in a box
I love you dearly, sincerely, and thatll never stop
For my kid
[Hook: Cee-Lo Green]
[Verse 3: Kutt Calhoun]
Paris and Darius, Dariana, Unique, Oshay, Malik
And one on the way in a matter of weeks
But its a shame, cause I think that my other daughter aint mine
Andrea baby, I love you, I guess your father was blind
In due time youll understand it, how your mama was scandalous
Wait, this dont seem right, man, I dont think I can handle it
When I all I ever did was show love for you
Sweated blood for you, any moment take a slug for you
But its cool, the baby mama drama is expected
And that karmas gonna be what Ive been blessed with
Sit back and learn your lessons
As our seeds grow from kids to adolescents
Then resent you for yourself, its misdirection
The first to heed the message is Malik
Abandonded by his mama on Thanksgiving eve
About three years ago, was up to me to feed to him morals
Values, manhood, knowledge, a week ago he graduated
You asking? Then Imma say
[Hook: Cee-Lo Green]
