The Name Game

Baby boy with big brown eyes
(Get it together)
And oh my god, with thick long lashes mind you
Crying to the beat of the words project complex

Looking out his window
(Get it together)
Wondering if he is now the owner of a complex
Living in the projects

Yeah, well, er um mama's living on welfare
And she ain't been living well
And that for damn sure ain't fair
That's 360 degrees of poverty
(Get it together)

Baby boy with big brown eyes
And oh my god, with thick long lashes mind you
Realizing living in a society with a bunch of menaces
Can't be all damn bad when labeled a menace to society

Well, shit he fit right in looking at you like you're mad
(Get it together)
'Cos you talking out your butt wah, wah, wah, wah
Just say no to drugs but say yes to what?

Baby boy with big brown eyes
(Get it together)
And oh my god, with thick long lashes mind you
Thinks he's a man now

'Cos he now has a baby boy with big brown eyes
(Get it together)
And oh my god, with thick long lashes mind you
Crying to the same beat of the words project complex

Looking out his window wondering
Am I not the owner of a complex
Living in the projects

You see what goes around comes back around
And oh goddamn, here it come now
