Single Mother

[Talking]

Yeah-yeah-yeah, ay let's win a Grammy with this one

Let's go woo-woo, this for all the single mothers out there

Coming straight from your boy Fliperaci, the number one fly boy

I done took y'all to the club, I done took y'all to the streets

Fin to make you think, pay attention let's go

[Lil' Flip]

When we was kids, we wasn't worried about the bills

It was all about the ice cream, and rolling down hills

Look boy meets girl, the next day he wanna kiss

He make it to third base, but the condom wouldn't fit

And guess who bust in, the lil' girl's daddy

And you know black folks, he beat the lil' girl's ass

Now her stepmom mad, she like send her back

Cause I don't want my real daughter, growing up like that

I tired to tell you last year, when you bought that phone

And you don't know what she doing, when we ain't at home

In these days, the kids looking older now

So a grown man, might tap you on the shoulder now

[Hook]

This about a lil' mama too, if pop was here

I know it's hard to raise a child, and maintain a career

This a message, to all the single mothers in the world

(don't be wasting all your time)

And if a coward get you pregnant, and he don't wanna help

Don't get stressed out, you can do it by yourself

Cause you a strong woman girl, enjoy your life

And no matter what they say, keep your head to the sky

[Lil' Flip]

Now it's eight years later, ery'body seventeen

But everything changed, since Kim left the scene

Now her laid back man, moving crackular

You want a ki, you gotta meet him at the back of the store

But guess who saw who, at the club that night

After exchanging phone numbers, somebody started a fight

Now ery'body running, so Kim ran with him

That's when she said you a playa, why you ain't leaving with them

That's when he said I want you, I been waiting for you

What you say we get a room, just me and you

After too much liquor, one thang led into another

But you know where he messed up, he told her he loved her

[Hook]

[Lil' Flip]

Now it's two months later, that nigga disappeared

Meanwhile Kim at home, trying to wipe away her tears

Befo' she gave it up, he use to call daily

Another month passed by, now she going crazy

She popping up at clubs, she even keyed his car

That's when she got the phone call, bitch you went too far

Oh now you calling back, cause your car got scratched

You said you loved me, I can't believe I fell for that

Damn, I shoulda known you was a pig anyway

Look my stomach been hurting, and my friend kinda late

Wait, I took a test at least three or four times

But you know what cowards say, it ain't mine

[Talking]

And I know you tired, of hearing that man

A real man take responsibility, for his seeds

This for every single mother, whether you white or black

It don't matter, you know I'm saying

Ery'body can't be born rich, you know I'm saying

I come from the hood, I made some'ing out of nothing

You know I'm saying, everytime I do a concert

It's females in the front row, after the show

They like sign my autograph, so I can get back home

My kids gotta go to school, you know I'm saying

So if you taking care of your child, by your damn self

Keep doing your damn thang, if Fantasia can do the shit

Anybody can do it, you dig what I'm saying

Straight up, holla back
