Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Listen, listen, listen, listen
Listen
[Verse 2]
Well, it's hard out there for a man
Yeah, it's cold out on them streets
But the world is my buffet, child
And I'm just lookin' to eat
[Verse 3]
I ain't go no ill intention
I ain't tryin' to compete
But the world is my buffet, child
And I'm just lookin' to eat
And feed the babies, oh
Gotta feed the babies now, yeah
[Verse 4]
So come on, brothers and sisters
It's the same path you walk
Come on, mothers and fathers
Teach the babies to talk
[Verse 5]
Come on, brothers and sisters
It starts with a song
Come on, mothers and fathers
Stand up for your cause
And teach the babies to love
Gotta teach the babies to love
[Verse 6]
It's hard out there for a lady
Sometimes the grass is way too deep
Now women become mothers so our babies get to eat
What do you call the struggle when the cycle is complete?
What do you call the struggle when we're all just lookin' to eat?
[Verse 7]
So come on, brothers and sisters
It's the same path you walk
Come on, mothers and fathers
Teach the babies to talk
[Verse 8]
Come on, brothers and sisters
It starts with a song
Come on, mothers and fathers
Stand up for your cause
And teach the babies to love, yeah
Oh, gotta teach the babies to love
[Verse 9]
Oh, listen now
Brother, sister, mother, father
Brother, sister, mother, father
[Verse 10]
So come on, brothers and sisters
It's the same path you walk
Come on, mothers and fathers
Teach the babies to talk
[Verse 11]
Come on, brothers and sisters
It starts with a song
Come on, mothers and fathers
Stand up for your cause
And teach the babies to love, yeah
Gotta teach the babies to love, yeah
[Verse 12]
Oh, listen now, brother
Oh, listen now, sister
Oh, listen now, mother
Oh, listen now, father
[Verse 13]
Brother, sister, mother, father
Brother, sister, mother, father
Brother, sister, mother, father
Brother, sister, mother, father
