Arthur McArthur - Live Again (To My Unborn Child) lyrics

[Verse 1: Cozjin] To my juvenile, I hope in a while that you'll know That these hoes, these cars, these cribs ain't nothing but show They living in fantasies, fantasizing financially Unconcerned about reality, uninformed on the travesty I know that you'll be fine because we share the same blood But if I'm gone before you grow, at least I want you to know That I would never abandon you, like my father did me And as long as you better you early, you'll be a better me [Hook: Sade] Mama been laid off Papa been laid off My brother's been laid off For more than two years now, ooh [Verse 2: Cozjin] Don't take no handouts, if you want it go get it yourself And knowledge is to be obtained, the greatest form of wealth Your peers don't know what they're saying, so stick to yourself Don't chase popularity, it'll pan by itself Focus on your mind and body, better your health And don't worry about the money, focus on the shelf Avoid d**, I had to learn that by myself Had me suicidal and be stuck up on the f**ing couch Your mind up and rises and it goes to different places And you start to see yourself and not up on them front pages And your thinking, how the f** is everybody else be making Well up in their lives, while you stuck inside your mothers basement [Hook: Sade] Mamma been laid off Pappa been laid off My brother's been laid off For more than two years now Ooh can't get a job Billy can't get a job They gotta listen to the blues [Verse 3: Cozjin] Respect your mother, regardless of what she say or do She may get on your nerves but that's what mothers do I know at times things may seem hard But as a warrior you gotta keep going, move on And nobody want you to succeed more than she do She gave up half of her life for you to breathe, dude So if you throw your whole life away Know you didn't only let yourself drown, she gon' feel the pain Don't be with a person that disrespects their mom Shows a lot about yourself and that it isn't wrong I hope you get a chance to hear this very song We never let 'em smell the roses until they are gone Love you, Mom [Hook: Sade]
