Neither Am I Lyrics by John River

The Academy

2019

[Verse 1]
First off it's my fault cause I shoulda worn a glove
Oh I shoulda covered up, but we know this isn't love so
It’s pretty clear, there’s no need to keep it
Let’s be honest with each other, there’s no need for secrets You’re a girl, I’m a guy, we met each other on the fly
You said you were on the pill I guess that was a fucking lie
So don’t ever fucking try and tell me that it didn’t work
That’s like a stripper going to a club who said she didn’t twerk Unbelievable, you told a nigga you werе inconceivable
And couldn’t conceivе shit, you shouldn’t deceive this Nigga. Don’t really like to call you a bitch but
I busted on your back and it wasn’t a big nut
So I don’t really know how it got south of the border
Or if you're pregnant with my daughter how I'll ever support her
I’d never go on record saying you should abort her
But we're young, broke and black I'm thinking you should abort her
For your sake and mine too, in your state of mind you
Should think the about the fetus, if we both got debt
How the fuck are we gon feed it? If we are not prepared too Cause babysitting cousins at your moms did not prepare you For motherhood, with a job that’s just not steady
I’m not trying be a dick, but we’re just not ready
[Chorus]
Are you not that scared that we're not prepared?
Baby there's a lot to fear
We're not steady, We're not ready
I can see in your eyes
But neither am I
But neither am I
But neither am I
But neither am I
[Verse 2]
You say i’m filled with hate, I’m a hoe, I’m a cynic
K I'll pick you up at eight, we’re still going to the clinic
Do I stay, do I wait
Should I go in when you finished?
Aborting a child you hate knowing its diminished
Good god, no wonder when I call you don’t pick up
As a man I’ll never understand the nature of a split up
Of a mother and her child, did it kick up? Feel a hiccup
'fore I told you we should kill it cause I couldn’t wrap my dick up
Disgusting, I was rushing like baby why you fussing?
Your body but I made it my discussion, repercussions
Of not thinking twice about the life I might breed
If my daughter needs a father just what type I might be
I just nutted, it’s the truth, what the fuck is the excuse
For a nigga like me, you know a nigga like me
Hit it raw, make a rack, hit the club and then we spend it
Say we’ll cover your abortion, tell you condoms too expensive Like I did to my kid, I never got to meet
A lotta moms had kids, that they never got to keep
It’s kinda sad you don’t keep it, cause cowards like me
Slut shame you, call you whores and tell you keep that shit a secret
Then we call you crazy and tell our friends you’re not steady You’re not a bitch, you’re not a slut, you’re not a whore, you’re not petty
You’re just mad cause we act like this shit is not heavy
When you tell us that you’re pregnant we say we’re not ready
[Chorus]
Are you not that scared that we're not prepared?
Baby there's a lot to fear
We're not steady, We're not ready
I can see in your eyes
But neither am I
But neither am I
But neither am I
But neither am I
