Be A Father To Your Child - Ed O.G. & Da Bulldogs

Written by：Edward Anderson

Ai yo be a father if notwhy botherson

A boy can make 'em but a man can raise one

If you did it admit it and stick with it

Don't say it ain't 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 it's born he wants to come around

Talking that I'm sorry for what I did

And all of a sudden he now 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 won't really help

Half of the fathers with sons and daughters don't even wanna take 'em

But it's so easy for them to make 'em

It's true if it weren't for you then the child wouldn't exist

After a skeeze there's responsibilities so don't resist

Be a father to your child

Be a father to your child

Be a father to your child

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

It's 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

Don't act like you ain't cause that really makes me mad g

To see a mother and a baby suffer

I've had enough of brothers who don't love the

Fact that a baby brings joy into your life

You could still be called daddy if the mother's not your wife

Don't be scared be prepared 'cause love is gonna getcha

It will always be your child even if she ain't witcha

So don't front on your child when it's your own

'Cause if you front now then you'll regret it when it's grown

Be a father to your child

Be a father to your child

Be a father to your child

Be a father to your child

Put yourself in his position and see what you're done

But just keep in mind that you're 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 wouldn't that amaze ya

To be or not to be that is the question

When you're wrong you're wrong it's 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 don't sweat him duke

Let him do the job that you couldn't do

You're claimin you was there but not when she needed you

And now you wanna come around for a day or two

It's never too late to correct your mistake

So get yourself together for your child's sake

And be a father to your child
