Ed O.g. & Da Bulldogs

Be a father, if not, why bother, son
A boy can make em, but a man can raise one
If you did it, admit it and stick with it
Dont say it aint yours cause all women are not whores
Ninety percent represent a woman that is faithful
Ladies, can I hear it? Thank you.
When a girl gets pregnant, her man is gonna run around
Dissin her for nine months, when its born he wants to come around
Talking that Im sorry for what I did
And all of a sudden he wants to see his kid
She had to bear it by herself and take care of it by herself
And givin her money for milk wont really help
Half of the fathers with sons and daughters dont even wanna take em
But its so easy for them to make em
Its true, if it werent for you then the child wouldnt exist
After a skeeze, theres responsibilities so dont resist
Be a father to your child
You see, I hate when a brother makes a child and then denies it
Thinking that money is the answer so he buys it
A whole bunch of gifts and a lot of presents
Its not the presents, it;s your presence and essence
Of being there and showing the baby that you care
Stop sittin like a chair and having your baby wonder where you are
Or who you are-fool, you are his daddy
Dib;t act like you aint cause that really makes me mad, G.
To see a mother and a baby suffer
Ive had enough of brothers who dont love the
Fact that a baby brings joy into your life
You could still be called daddy if the mothers not your wife
Dont be scared, be prepared cause love is gonna getcha
It will always be your child even if she aint witcha
So dont front on your child when its your own
Cause if you front now, then youll regret it when its grown
Be a father to your child
Put yourself in his position and see what youre done
But just keep in mind that youre somebody;s son
How would you like it if your father was a stranger
And then tried to come into your life and tried to change
The way your mother raised ya-now, wouldnt that amaze ya?
To be or not to be, that is the question
When youre wrong, youre wrong, its time to make a correction
Harassin the mother for being with another man
But if the brother man can do it better than you can,
let him. Dont sweat him, duke
Let him do the job that you couldnt do.
Youre claimin you was there, but not when she needed you
And now you wanna come around for a day or two?
Its never too late to correct your mistake
So get yourself together for your childs sake
And be a father to your child
