Here we go

Yeah

Yesterday morning was crazy

I had to come to terms with the fact that it's not a maybe

That shit is in stone, sealed and signed

She not my lover like Billie Jean, but the kid is mine

Sandi used to tell me all it takes is one time, and all it took was one time

Shit, we only met two times, two times

And both times were nothin' like the new times

Now it's rough times, I'm out here on front lines

Just tryin' to make sure that I see him sometimes

It's breakin' my spirit

Single father, I hate when I hear it

I used to challenge my parents on every album

Now I'm embarrassed to tell 'em I ended up as a co-parent

Always promised the family unit

I wanted it to be different because I've been through it

But this is the harsh truth now

And fairy tales are saved for the bedtime stories I tell you now

I don't want you worry 'bout whose house

You live at, or who loves you more or who's not there

Who did what to who 'fore you got here

Nah, look, I'm too proud to let that come between me and you now

Realize I gotta think for two now

I gotta make it, I better make it

I promise if I'm not dead, then I'm dedicated

This the first positive DNA we ever celebrated

I can't forget the looks on they faces

Got the news in Miami that now we all got ones that we raisin'

Tell Gelo bring some Mod Rosé and the Baccarats out

For our cheers to the next generation

But this Champagne toast is short-lived

I got an empty crib in my empty crib

I only met you one time, introduced you to Saint Nick

I think he must've brought you like twenty gifts

Your mother say you growin' so fast that they don't even really fit

But man, you know

I still had to get it for my boy though, you know

You haven't met your grandfather yet, that nigga a trip

He probably could'a did stand-up

Yeah, but at the same time, he's a stand up

And that's how you gon' be when it's time to man up

October baby for irony's sake, of course

I got this 11 tatted for somebody, now it's yours

And believe me, I can't wait to get a hundred more

Sorry I'm ventin', tryna cover ground

They said that in two weeks, you're supposed to come in town

Hopefully by the time you hear this

Me and your mother will have come around

Instead of always cuttin' each other down

God willin', I got a good feelin'

You got a good spirit

We'll talk more when you hear this, my G

I'm changing from boy to a man

No one to guide me, I'm all alone

No one to cry on

I need shelter from the rain, to ease the pain

Of changing from boy to a man

No one to guide me, I'm all alone

No one to cry on

I need shelter from the rain, to ease the pain

Of changing from boy to a man

I'm all alone

No one to cry on

I need shelter from the rain, to ease the pain

Of changing from boy to a man

Here we go again
