and this ain't no love song
This is about a girl that life
I used to know her back in the 7th grade
Her junior high school days
A's, a real smart fe male
Class cutie with the booty and ponytail
But when the school bell rings,
she be there with her backpack
But when it comes to the streets
She hooked up with a twelfth grader
High school big boy just wanted to lay her
He got laid and she got played
A time when a mutt never ever ever came
So when her belly started swelling
Daddy with a belt screaming and yelling
Rosie is no longer that little girl
So he kicked her in the real world
A pocket full of babies with
He won't claim the baby cause
he said the girl's a freak
No daddy, no man, no friends, no home
So when I see her on the streets everyday
Me and the kids on the playground are sad
I only laid you down to kill some time
Chick, you got ta be crazy,
Coming in my face with your
Yeah, everybody's freak on a pile
An d now to me you're saying
With no thanks, I don't need that
I thought it was enough when
you should've protected yourself
You knew it wouldn't happen someday,
So I don't know what to tell you, honey
I gave you credit for the crack packs
And now you want my money
Cause I ain't got time to
places to go, and money to make
So I don't need another headache
Another flea scratched off my lips
That's why I must insist to dishonest
My -my -my, my -my -my, my -my -my.....
and babies havin' more babies
You should realize your daddy is wise
But I'm tired of preaching
and I'm tired of teaching
Because this is not reaching,
it's going in one ear and right out the other
You never listen to me or your mother
But now she's passed away,
Because I'm finding crack packs
you keep sneaking them in
I'll put him just to an end before
But then you give him money I gave you
But if you wanna be called a slut,
I'ma tell you something you should know
he's like a scout on a new route
And never again call me father
Cause I got no more daughter
9 months later, a baby girl was dropped into the
womb without a daddy or grandpops to rock
A baby getting rocked by a half -pint lady,
but it's crazy cause life is no longer barrettes
but welfare only pays for government cheese
Rosemary's out here strugglin'
Half on her di apers and milk,
You say, where is her family?
This is reality, there's a
Rosemary in every single community
Rosemary just wasn't havin' it
So she went into the medicine cabinet
And took some fuckin' pills and swal
lowed them all down with water
Then she held her daughter,
swinging her back and forth until it's time
singing to her daughter nursery rhymes
As the tears fell from her cheeks
Her vision went blurry and her
And she died with her baby
Dropping an empty crack pipe by her palms
All you hear is the screams and the
I didn't want to tell you
