A Whole Nation - Kirk Franklin[00:00:00]

Written by：Kirk Franklin[00:00:00]

Ladies and gentlemen[00:00:02]

I wanna introduce to you right now[00:00:05]

Young Donovan he's eleven mmmmm[00:00:08]

The problem we're facing right now[00:00:14]

Is we're losing our children ooooooo[00:00:17]

Father's we need you mmmmmm[00:00:21]

Can you feel me[00:00:24]

It takes a whole nation[00:00:26]

To help me raise this generation[00:00:28]

When you look out of your window[00:00:31]

Tell me what do you see[00:00:33]

If it's a world without a father[00:00:34]

Then you're looking at me[00:00:36]

It takes a whole nation[00:00:37]

To help me raise this generation[00:00:40]

My respect to the mother's that be holding it down[00:00:43]

But it sure would be nice to have my daddy around[00:00:47]

All I need is one mic one mic[00:00:50]

I know you can see[00:00:52]

I'm not a rapper[00:00:53]

But there's some dudes that are just like me[00:00:54]

Every time you took a picture with you and your family[00:00:56]

It was only two people and it's supposed to be 3[00:00:59]

It's supposed to be me asking[00:01:02]

Why's the sky blue when I grow up I wanna be like you[00:01:04]

Yo daddy can you teach me how to[00:01:08]

Tie my shoes can I go with you to work[00:01:10]

So I can see what you do[00:01:13]

Lemme see what you do[00:01:15]

So I can love my kids too[00:01:16]

But you didn't stick around was that too much to ask of you[00:01:18]

Too much to get a blueprint no[00:01:21]

Too much to show your way no[00:01:23]

That's the reason why this building is not finished still today we're lost boys[00:01:24]

So you wanna believe that my daddy's coming back he didn't forget about me[00:01:29]

Only child after school[00:01:33]

We just sit there and wait I know he's gonna come[00:01:34]

Your dad is 78[00:01:38]

It takes a whole nation it takes a whole nation[00:01:40]

To help me raise this generation[00:01:42]

When you look out of your window look out this evening[00:01:44]

Tell me what do you see[00:01:46]

If it's a world without a father[00:01:48]

Then you're looking at me come on[00:01:49]

It takes a whole nation nation[00:01:51]

To help me raise this generation uh uh[00:01:54]

My respect to the mother's that be holding it down[00:01:57]

But it'd sure be nice to have my daddy around daddy around[00:02:00]

Check this out[00:02:03]

They say raising kids is the parents responsibility mmmmm[00:02:04]

But there's a million of y'all and only one of me hey[00:02:07]

What happened to the village as far as I can see[00:02:10]

It's been burned down by this modern day slavery[00:02:13]

For 11 years I've been living here[00:02:16]

I've seen mamma cry more than 11 tears[00:02:19]

Watching mamma see daddy while he slips away[00:02:22]

Does Jesus really hear kids when they pray[00:02:25]

She's working to jobs[00:02:28]

She can't do it alone[00:02:30]

She shouldn't have to she didn't get knocked up on her own[00:02:31]

Both and I know that baby's mamma drama[00:02:34]

Brothers it's real[00:02:36]

But before you close the door[00:02:37]

Don't forget how it feels[00:02:39]

Remember[00:02:40]

Daddy missed my game and I made a touchdown[00:02:41]

I won the talent show but you weren't around[00:02:44]

If a girl breaks my heart what do I do with this pain[00:02:47]

And one more thing daddy[00:02:50]

Can you tell me my name[00:02:51]

It takes a whole nation[00:02:53]

To help me raise this generation I need my daddy[00:02:56]

When you look out of your window[00:02:59]

Tell me what do you see[00:03:00]

If it's a world without a father[00:03:02]

Then you're looking at me yaw[00:03:03]

It takes a whole nation it's a million of us[00:03:05]

To help me raise this generation oh uh oh lord[00:03:09]

My respect to the mother's that be holding it down[00:03:12]

But it'd sure be nice to have my daddy around[00:03:14]
