Mmm, mmm Hey Why didn't I see the signs? I was too busy getting high Runnin' up in studios, smokin' dro, writin' rhymes Too blind to notice my abdomen was growin' Havin' sex without protection, now my belly is showin' Nobody knowin', me and my boo tryna decide what to do He buggin', like, "That's a little me inside of you It ain't cute and I'm scared," and I could tell he worried a bit Still we proceed to gettin' weeded, straight ignorin' the shit My jeans don't wanna fit, every mornin' urlin' and shit I had to tell my family, I knew they all was gon' flip And his was happy, thinkin' he was about to be a daddy But I knew it wasn't true, even though we both wanted it so badly Tell me what's going on I know what I'm doing is wrong Can you hear me, Lord, when I'm calling? Forgive me, my baby How am I supposed to feel? The situation is real, huh I never wanted to let you go, baby We'll meet again, I know, baby We love each other madly, so much to gain, so much to lose I'm in pain, your mind frame change when you the one that gotta choose Take a walk, step in my shoes, thinkin' negative thoughts Politics, shit shift quick when a doctor says it's positive It's a life livin' in my body, but it don't gotta live It's up to me, but if I keep it, what the fuck I got to give? I mean, I'm still young and I don't really have shit And if this nigga decide to leave, then my child'll be a bastard It's drastic, nobody really understands me My moms don't give a fuck and neither does the rest of the family They like, "Remy, you can't afford it, you expect us to support it?" I feel my seed departin' and I don't wanna abort it, so Tell me what's going on I know what I'm doing is wrong Can you hear me, Lord, when I'm calling? Forgive me, my baby How am I supposed to feel? The situation is real, huh I never wanted to let you go, baby We'll meet again, I know, baby I'm not steady, but I can get ready for responsibility Shit, where would I be if my moms got rid of me? I'm so stressed and I'm under a lot of pressure But all I need is the remedy to make Remy feel better I knew I couldn't win, so I chose to forfeit It's a shame, over four months and I'm in the doctor's office I swear to all I love I wanted to leave Then wait five more months and birth the child that I conceived But I sat there because I felt I had to Now I cry every day because I realize, boy, girl, I wanted to have you Don't be mad at me, how it is is how it has to be And any pain I put you through is all comin' back to me Tell me what's going on I know what I'm doing is wrong Can you hear me, Lord, when I'm calling? Forgive me, my baby How am I supposed to feel? The situation is real, huh I never wanted to let you go, baby We'll meet again, I know, baby Tell me what's going on I know what I'm doing is wrong Can you hear me, Lord, when I'm calling? Forgive me, my baby How am I supposed to feel? The situation is real, huh I never wanted to let you go, baby We'll meet again, I know, baby Tell me what's going on I know what I'm doing is wrong Can you hear me, Lord, when I'm calling? Forgive me, my baby How am I supposed to feel? The situation is real, huh I never wanted to let you go, baby We'll meet again, I know, baby Tell me what's going on I know what I'm doing is wrong Can you hear me, Lord, when I'm calling? Forgive me, my baby How am I supposed to feel? The situation is real, huh I never wanted to let you go, baby We'll meet again, I know, baby
