Push, push, push, push... 
Here it comes... 
It's - it's a girl 

{Big Mike:} 
1971 a young girl gave birth 
Only a child, bringin another child on this earth 
Only 15 years of age 
But comin from the ghetto, it won't make the front page 
See, that's the way shit go 
And to the government she ain't nothin but another hoe 
Thinkin all she want is food stamps 
Give her a check and let her hang with the school tramps 
And mama's gettin mad 
Cause now she gotta watch her little girl grow up fast 
Straight ghetto life, straight ghetto drama 
Wanted a baby doll, now she's somebody's mama 
And life is so confusin to her 
Askin herself why is this happenin to her 
So now she gotta choose 
Between a box of Pampers and a pair of new tennis shoes 
Never had to make that choice before 
Never heard a baby's voice before 
And the daddy ain't nowhere to be found 
Too busy bein a hoe around town 
He just fall into another statistic 
Claimin black men don't do shit 
But that's the way it is 
And little do they know daddy also sheds tears 
Cause he don't know what to do 
Be a father to his child, or run with a crew 
You might say: easy choice, be a father 
But why should he do it when his father didn't bother? 
Just another sample, I guess 
Of black men settin bad examples 
Thinkin deep about the whole thing 
Takes his last bit of money and goes to buy a gold ring 
And askes her to marry her 
Promise to get a job, so he can carry her 
Thinkin that's the way to do it 
But little do they know that there's much more to it 
'cause marriage is demandin 
It takes lots of patience and understandin 
But they go and tie the knot anyway 
And they'll be gettin their own crib anyday 
The first couple of months were alright 
A new crib, adaptin to a new life 
But then came the arguments 
And the constant fightin got em thrown out their apartment 
So now they gotta move in with her moms 
And that just adds to the muthafuckin problems 
Cause now he's feelin like he failed 
And while they asleep he grabs his shit and bails 
Smooth out the do', black 
And never takes another look back 
Now grandma's house is an unhappy home 
Now that daddy's gone 

{Scarface:} 
Daddy broke before I stepped in this muthafucka 
And left the job to be done by my mother's mother 
Raised up by grandmother ??? 
Cause my mark-ass daddy never came around for guidance 
So now I'm forced to stand up on my own two 
Cause mommy dear had to work three jobs, duke 
He didn't even want my friendship 
I guess the mark-ass nigga wasn't down to begin with 
Too lit to come around with his drunk ass 
And beatin up my mom with his punk ass 
And shit got dread 
I guess I shouldn't talk so bad about my dad 
So here it is, brothers 
If you gon' have babies, you need to father them muthafuckas 
Cause if you don't in due time 
Your kids'll speak about daddy exactly like I do mine 
So do yourself a favor 
Take your kids to the park, buy em shit, and they'll pay you later 
But payin's not the issue 
If you'd die right now your little kids wouldn't even miss you 
So put away your caddy 
Call your bitch up and tell her to make room for daddy 
Cause if you don't you'll be alone 
And the only thing they'll say about daddy, is daddy is gone
