Lyrics
To my unborn child
To my unborn child
In case I don't make it
Just remember, daddy loves you
To my unborn child
Just don't worry 'bout what people sayin'
To my unborn
You know daddy loves you
Now ever since my birth
I've been cursed, since I'm born to wild
In case I never get to holla at my unborn child
Many things learned in prison
Blessed and still livin'
Tryna earn every penny that I'm gettin'
I'm reminiscin'
To the beginnin' of my mission
When I was conceived and came to be in this position
My mama was a Panther, loud single parent, but she proud
When she witnessed baby boy rip a crowd
Went to school, but I dropped out and left the house
'Cause my mama say I'm good for nothin', so I'm out
Since I only got one life to live
God forgive me for my sins
Let me make it and I'll never steal again
Or deal again
My only friend is my misery
Wantin' revenge for the agony they did to me
See, my life ain't promised
But it's sure gettin' better
Hope you understand my love letter
To my unborn child
I'm writing you a letter
This is to my unborn child
To my unborn
Wanna let you know I love you, love you
To my unborn child
Want you to know I feel this way (How I feel)
To my unborn
'Cause I think about you every day
I have so much to say
To my unborn child
Seems so complicated to escape fate
And you can never understand till we trade places
Tell the world I feel guilty to bein' anxious
Ain't no way in hell that I could ever be a rapist
It's hard to face this cold world on a good day
When will they let the little kids in the hood play?
I got shot five times, but I'm still breathin'
Living proof there's a God if you need a reason
Can I believe in my own fate?
Will I raise my kids in the right or the wrong way?
Dear Mama, I'm a man now
I wanna make it on my own, not a handout
Make way for the whirlwind prophesized
I wanna go in peace when I gotta die
On these cold streets, ain't no love
No mercy and no friends
In case you never see my face again
To my unborn child
I'm writing you a letter
This is to my unborn child
To my unborn child (I'm writing you a letter)
Wanna let you know I love you, love you
To my unborn child
Want you to know I feel this way
To my unborn child
'Cause I think about you every day, I have so much to say (Every day)
Dear Lord, can you hear me?
Tell me what to say
To my unborn seed in case I pass away
Will my child get to feel love?
Or are we all just cursed to be street thugs?
'Cause bein' black hurts
And even worse if you speak first
Livin' my life as an outlaw
What could be worse?
'Cause maybe if I tried to change
Who I'm kiddin'?
I'm a thug till I die
I'm a rider, man
Touch bases, eat lunch in plush places
Regular criminal oasis awaits us
If there's a ghetto for true thugs
I'll see you there
And I'm sorry for not bein' there
Just know your daddy was a soldier
Me Against the World
Bless the boys and all my little girls
To the Lord
I'm eternal, restin' in peace
Please take care of all my seeds
And my unborn child
I'm writing you a letter
This is to my unborn child
To my unborn child
Wanna let you know I love you, love you
Please take care of all my kids, my unborn child
Want you to know I feel this way
To my unborn child
'Cause I think about you every day
I have so much to say
This letter goes out to
Any seeds that I might not get to see 'cause of this lifestyle
I'm writing you a letter, this is to my unborn child
Just know your daddy loved you
Wanna let you know I love you
Got nothin' but love for you
Love you
And all I wanted was for you to have a better life than I had
Want you to know I feel this way
So I was out here on a twenty-four hour
'Cause I think about you every day
Three sixty-five grind (Every day)
I have so much to say
When you get to be my age, you'll understand
Just know I got love for you
I'm writing you a letter
And I'll see you if there's a ghetto in Heaven
This is to my unborn child
If there's a ghetto Heaven I'll be there waitin'
Wanna let you know I love you, love you
Heh-heh, take care, run wild, but be smart
Want you to know I feel this way 'cause I think about you every day
Follow the rules of the game (Every day)
I have so much to say
I know sometimes it's confusing
I'm writing you a letter, this is to my unborn child
Rules of the game is gonna get you through it all day everyday
Wanna let you know I love you
Watch out for these snakes and fakes
Friends come a dime-a-dozen
Love you
Want you to know I feel this way
Be an individual, work hard
'Cause I think about you every day
Study, get your mind sharp, trust nobody
I have so much to say
