"A Baby" by: Billy Nix

Fresh out the womb, into a room
Full of adults bringing my mother gifts and balloons
Out of all the people that gave something to me,
You would think someone would think to say something to me
But all I hear in my ear is a different kind of talk
I can't quite comprehend I was never taught
Sorry but I ain't understand nothing that you said
Get me to a bed, let me get my mind clear
If this is how it's gonna be for the next few years
It's work to be done and mom needs to relax
It has begun with the birth of a son
But please don't leave me in front of no TV
Just get me a bed and a breast and the best of PE
I ain't got time for games, time to grow
I play with y'all because you act like that's all you know

I may be a baby but I see, what's around me shapes the way that I be
I may be a baby but how you raise me determines if I grow to be shady

Up all hours of the night, I can't sleep
Mom and dad wanna argue and fight, and use all types of language
I can't miss one word but they don't explain the shit
I'm just a few months old
They think I don't know what they mean by "scandalous bitch" and "fuck you ho"
I'm to young I can't get nothing from it
But I heard that before I even came out the stomach
I wish I could talk so I could express my thoughts, better yet walk and go in my room
Because I'm an infant and sentences I spit to them while senseless
They laugh and giggle but ain't shit funny
Goddamn dad change my diaper before I get a rash on my ass
And quit cussing at my momma
Yeah you bust me, but trust me when I get bigger it's gonna be drama

I may be a baby but I see, what's around me shapes the way that I be
I may be a baby but how you raise me determines if I grow to be shady

Yeah sick in my ways, many days I wake and wonder was I some kind of mistake?
But no never that, because never is a life born without purpose
And I'm certain that it's rap
I just wish it was love in every lift and every hug was a gift
I cry thinking why
The spirit I feel is not felt by those who been here for years
I just got eyes
It's just not wise to sit there and look
The growth of a child is like the swing you push
I mean it's not your fault if I come up dead or a crook
But if someone had just read me a book
It's just not wise to sit there and look
The growth of a child is like the swing you push
I mean it's not your fault if I come up dead or a crook
But if someone had just read me a book

I may be a baby but I see, what's around me shapes the way that I be
I may be a baby but how you raise me determines if I grow to be shady
