Be A Father To Your Child Lyrics by Zion I

Heroes in the Healing of the Nation

0

(CHORUS)
BE A FATHER, BE A FATHER, BE A FATHER TO YOUR CHILD
BE A FATHER, BE A FATHER, BE A FATHER TO YOUR CHILD
(ZUMBI)
IT ONLY TOOK YOU
3 MINUTES TO MAKE
THE BABY-
IT WAS ALL ABOUT YOU-
MUST BE CRAZY-
FORGETTING WHILE YOU
HITTING IT’S A SACRED ACT
AT LEAST HAVE THE DECENCY
TO KEEP IT SHRINK-WRAPPED-
A SLAP TO THE EGO
THIS ONE’S FOR THEM
MANY MEN CAN’T COMPREHEND
THE EXTENT-
OF RESPONSIBILITY-
YOU TOO CONTENT
IT’S A JOB BEING DADDY
THIS IS NO PRETEND-
HOW YOU HALF ON A BABY
BUT NOWHERE ROUND?
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF TOWN
SAD HEART OF A CLOWN-
YOU AIN’T GOTTA BE WITH HER
COMMIT TO YOUR CHILD THOUGH
ON MINES SPEND TIME
HELP THE MIND GROW
THAT’S THE NATURAL-
STATE OF BEING
IT’S A PROCESS
CYCLICALLY WE REPEATING-
I KNOW YOU NEEDED THIS
ENCOURAGEMENT BRUH-
REALIZE YOUR SIGNIFIGANCE
THE BABY NEEDS LOVE!
(CHORUS)
BE A FATHER, BE A FATHER, BE A FATHER TO YOUR CHILD
BE A FATHER, BE A FATHER, BE A FATHER TO YOUR CHILD
(GROUCH)
BE A FATHER IF NOT, WHY BOTHER?
DON'T LET DOWN YOUR SONS, RAISE YOUR DAUGHTERS
YOU DON'T WANNA HAVE TO REGRET IT LATER
AND THINK ABOUT THE YEARS YOU MISSED
BEING AFRAID TO JUST FACE THE GREATEST GIFT YOU EVER GAVE
OR EVER GIVEN YOU CAUSE YOU WASN'T THAT BRAVE
TO GROW INTO THE MAN YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BECOME
AND SHOW UP FOR YOUR FAM, DAMN THAT'S DUMB
SO MANY PROBLEMS, SO MANY EXCUSES
NONE GOOD ENOUGH TO NEGLECT THE YOUTH
LET'S GET THE JOB DONE OR COME UP FRUITLESS
IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO CORRECT IT DUDE
A CHILD BRINGS JOY AND LOVE INTO YOUR LIFE
AND IF YOUR READY TO RECEIVE THAT YOU JUST MIGHT
RUNNIN' FROM THE MOTHER CAUSE OF PRESSURE AIN'T THE ANSWER
TO THE ISSUE OF YOU DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT'S RIGHT
(CHORUS)
BE A FATHER, BE A FATHER, BE A FATHER TO YOUR CHILD
BE A FATHER, BE A FATHER, BE A FATHER TO YOUR CHILD
(GROUCH)
THE BETTER THAT WE KNOW OUR CHILDREN
I SAID, THE MORE LOVE THERE IS, IT KEEPS ON BUILDING'
I TRUST IN FAMILY THAT'S REAL WEALTH
WHILE OTHERS KEEP SEARCHING TRYING' TO FEEL SELF
AND WHEN I LOOK AT MY SEED GROW, I FEEL IT DEEP THOUGH
WHEN RIO HUGS HER DADDY, THERE'S NONE EQUAL
I'LL BE THERE, BEYOND MONEY
GIVEN ALL I GOT IN ME TO RAISE GOOD PEOPLE
