Month two was the least most My cord choking me but month 3 was closer, see That's when pops took moms to see the doc at the But I was saved, he changed his mind in the minute 'em yell, heard my moms voice well Feared fist fights, so terrified we fell While they broke up furniture and smashed on the wall I if I am born, will I be safe at all
This place they call the world though my view was so Couldn't wait to get out, and grow up and take Month 5, Month 6 by, hopin' I'm born in July But the Lord already out a date and time, Septemeber 14th, '73 Get world, doctors in the front waitin' for me Arms open 'cause they know I drop, alot of shit's gon' stop See how the goverment will start re-training 9, I'm a week over due, the labor induced
