Letra For The Babies de Damian Marley original

For the babies


This is real/this is real/
Verse: Now I see them giving the woman abortion to kill another baby. / Miscarriage and misfortune and premature crack baby / Strength of Ras Tafari I'm hoping someday maybe / They don't obey their parents / Maybe they will obey me / Future for the babies / Hopes for the babies / Tomorrow for the babies / No sorrow for the babies / Babies having babies / Raising our babies / All of these young ladies / Give them thanks and praises / How long can she take it? / Dreams are full of maybes / Will she ever make it? / Hustles on a daily / In the club a shake it / Strip down 'til she naked / Don't ever mistake it / Much too real to fake it / Need it then she'll take it / She'll do it for the babies / A mother's love is sacred / Now you don't ever fail me / Chorus: A woman needs caring, sharing, love all the time (no don't you ever fail me) A child needs loving, caring… / Verse: Is there no other option than adoption for you babies / You're raffling and jacketing and auctioning your babies / Strength of Ras Tafari I'm hoping someday maybe / They don't obey their parents maybe they will obey me. / Cowards play the game thing / Fathers do the brave thing / And that's participating / He keeps on concentrating / There is no debating / No running away thing / A new life is awakening / From his ejaculating / It's in the oven baking / Takes two for the making / He's right there through the cravings / And early morning waking / School and educating, / Sports and recreating, / Karate and ballet thing, / Teenager of today thing / Fathers still relating / Still communicating / And they'll always embrace him / Cause they cannot replace him / Chorus Repeats / Verse: And always do your best to keep a promise to your babies / And if you can't be good at least be honest to your babies / The strength of Ras Tafari I'm hoping someday maybe / They don't obey their parents maybe they will obey me / History of the babies / Beginning of the ages / You're flipping through the pages / And up and through the 80's / Some are gang related / Drug affiliated / Some intoxicated / Headed for the snake pit / And Papa's locked in cages / And Mama's lacking wages / And this is what they're faced with / Upon a daily basis / Bleaching out dem faces / Running from dem races / Shooting up dem places / Killing other babies / As bitter as the taste is / And words cannot explain it / Just walk the narrow pavement / And speak of love not hatred.
