Verse One


Every time I think about it all I seem to do is cry
Sit and ponder why this mistake makes me seem so high
One girl, one chance, one night, one bed
One world, one glance, one fight, one head
Perfect timing so we thought but our minds were lost
Just going with the flow and never botherin' to stop
Now knowing repercussions or the sacrifices that were made
Kept thinking of the moment, thinkin' of me getting laid
Temperature’s arising so you know it's feeling hotter
Not thinkin' of the long run so you know I'm feelin' nada
My cell starts ringing, what a bummer, it's her number
Pick it up and played it cool and I hear " So we're a couple"
Jaw dropped and said you crazy lady, think this shit gon' phase me?
Crying on the phone sayin' "We gonna have a baby."
That's when it finally sunk in, I'm gonna be a father
Thinkin' how I'm gonna handle this or should I even bother



(Chorus 2x)
Hush little baby, don't you cry
Daddy's gonna dry them eyes
I look up into the sky
And I know that you're alright


Verse Two


Sat in bed that night, still confused, I called my mother
Told me, take responsibility, things are gonna get a little rougher
I'll support you either way; you gotta know this hidden meaning
Thanked her for the guidance, can't believe I didn't see it
Don't even have a job yet so I'm switchin' up priorities
Shorty at the club telling me all these guys are boring me
But you look kinda cute, do you mind if you go home with me
Thinkin' about my kid, so I mumbled out I'm Sorry, tease.
Started walking to car, baby momma's standin' there
Wondering why I haven’t called and if I'm gonna start to care
Apologized for my actions, every known mistake that happened
I promise to stand by you and never act like I did back then
Contemplating what my mom said, started thinking happily
I'm still too young and don't know much about raising my family
Never had one myself, always punching, pulling, grabbing me
Happiness was catchin' me, then a haunting call of tragedy


( Repeat Chorus 2x )

Verse Three


I woke up late that mornin', had some breakfast and relaxed
Spent my entire day wonderin' if I've collected all the facts
Was this really goin' on or pay back for the break up?
She told me she was certain so I proceeded to kiss and make up
If my dad finds out, I'll end up with a slit throat
Tried to recollect my thoughts, is it real or just a sick joke?
7:13pm and the cell phone interrupts my troubles
She asked me how I planned the night, I said I'm goin' to my mothers
I told her that I've changed my mind; I'm willing to support my child
Never on my grave will I ever let you abort my child
I was talking so fast, didn't hear what she had whispered
Quiet about it all, so I love you is what I figured
She stopped me half way through my sentence and said Joseph, we lost him
We just got'em a couple months ago but now I hit rock bottom
Even though I dissed him, something in my heart just missed him
Feelings of regret and then the drugs filled up my system


Chorus

Verse Four

Hung up the phone pretty quickly, wasn't ready for the truth
I came to my senses and I even told the entire crew
Called me back minutes later and said baby I apologize
I sobbed out I'm sorry in the midst of my balling eyes
My unborn child is now the victim of a miscarriage
Conceived in lust, one night stand, no marriage
Were his eyes brown or blue or was he overweight or skinny?
Big ears like Mickey Mouse or was he playful like Minnie
I always loved you baby, even when I wasn't nice
During all the fights, me and ya mom all those cussin' nights
I know you give me strength, guidance and a better flow
Could you learn to forgive me son? I guess I'll never ever know
