Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Have you heard the news today?
They say a little fourteen-year-old girl had a baby on the way
Too much for her little mind to bear
And that type of news to her mama she cannot spare
[Chorus]
Toilet Tisha
Damn, we miss ya
Toilet Tisha
Is the issue
Damn, we miss ya
Toilet Tisha
Damn, we miss ya
[Bridge]
Tisha!
Tisha!
Tisha
Girl, what you doin'?
Oh my God!
Oh Tisha!
Tisha!
Oh Lord, Tisha!
Tisha!
No!
No, my baby!
Oh, help me, Lord!
Oh, Tisha!
[Bridge]
Don't go away (Don't you dare go away from me, girl, I can help you)
Don't go away (Don't you dare leave)
Don't go away (It ain't a thing)
Don't go away (Ooh)
[Verse 2]
Five thousand, one hundred, ten days
Is a short period of time, a mere fourteen years
On this precious Mother Earth
You see, Tisha had issues
And her decision-making skills were still in its early stages
Know what I'm talking about?
Therefore, she could not properly handle
A blessing which she thought to be an obstacle in her path to adulthood
Pause
Just like a brother with a thousand pauses
Should I?
Shouldn't I?
I can't
I have to
Mama will never see me the same
Daddy and Big Mama, I know all of them gon' be ashamed of me
Are just a few thoughts racing through her cranium
As she sits on top of the pale, cold porcelain seat
In the rear of the house
The unthinkable
Moments away from becoming reality
Sadly with no clue
And no way of expressing her feelings to her mama or anybody else in her life
Tisha done came to the crossroads
And now she got to choose
[Outro]
Fatality
Fatality
Fatality
Fatality
