For The Babies - Damian Marley[00:00:00]
Written by:Damian Marley/Stephen Marley[00:00:18]
This is real this is real[00:00:36]
Now I see them giving the woman abortion to kill another baby[00:00:43]
Miscarriage and misfortune and premature crack baby[00:00:47]
Strength of Ras Tafari I'm hoping someday maybe[00:00:50]
They don't obey their parents maybe they will obey me[00:00:54]
Future for the babies[00:00:58]
Hopes for the babies[00:00:59]
Tomorrow for the babies[00:01:01]
No sorrow for the babies[00:01:03]
Babies having babies[00:01:05]
Raising our babies[00:01:07]
All of these young ladies[00:01:08]
Give them thanks and praises[00:01:10]
How long can she take it[00:01:12]
Dreams are full of maybes[00:01:14]
Will she ever make it[00:01:16]
Hustles on a daily[00:01:18]
In the club she shake it strip down 'till she naked[00:01:19]
Don't ever mistake it much too real to fake it[00:01:23]
Need it then she'll take it[00:01:27]
She'll do it for the babies[00:01:28]
A mother's love is sacred[00:01:30]
Now you don't you ever fail me[00:01:32]
A woman needs caring sharing love all the time[00:01:34]
No don't you ever fail me[00:01:40]
A child needs loving caring[00:01:41]
Is there no other option than adoption for you babies[00:01:48]
You're raffling and jacketing and auctioning your babies[00:01:52]
Strength of Ras Tafari I'm hoping someday maybe[00:01:56]
They don't obey their parents maybe they will obey me[00:01:59]
Cowards play the game thing[00:02:03]
Fathers do the brave thing[00:02:05]
And that's participating[00:02:07]
He keeps on concentrating[00:02:08]
There is no debating[00:02:10]
No running away thing[00:02:12]
A new life is awakening from his ejaculating[00:02:14]
It's in the oven baking[00:02:18]
Takes two for the making[00:02:19]
He's right there through the cravings[00:02:21]
And early morning waking[00:02:23]
School and educating[00:02:25]
Sports and recreating[00:02:27]
Karate and ballet thing[00:02:29]
Teenager of today thing[00:02:30]
Fathers still relating still communicating[00:02:32]
And they'll always embrace him[00:02:36]
'Cause they cannot replace him[00:02:38]
And always do your very best to keep a promise[00:02:54]
To your babies[00:02:56]
And if you can't be good at least be honest[00:02:58]
To your babies[00:03:00]
The strength of Ras Tafari I'm hoping someday maybe[00:03:01]
They don't obey their parents maybe they will oh[00:03:05]
History of the babies[00:03:08]
Beginning of the ages[00:03:10]
You're flipping thru the pages[00:03:12]
And up and thru the 80's[00:03:14]
Some are gang related drug affiliated[00:03:16]
Some intoxicated headed for the snake pit[00:03:20]
And papa's locked in cages[00:03:23]
And mama's lacking wages[00:03:25]
And this what they're faced with upon a daily basis[00:03:27]
Bleaching out 'dem faces[00:03:30]
Running from 'dem races[00:03:32]
Shooting up them places[00:03:34]
Killing other babies[00:03:36]
As bitter as the taste is and words can not explain it[00:03:38]
Just walk the narrow pavement[00:03:41]
And speak of love not hatred[00:03:43]
