[Intro]
That inspires the babies' questions
That inspires the babies' questions
That inspires the babies' questions
For their mothers that ain't around
[Hook]
But no one stopped to think about the babies born
But no one stopped to think about the babies born
But no one stopped to think about the babies born
But no one stopped to think about the babies born
[Verse 1]
No child left behind for being profiled
No smiles in every picture pitchin' coke vials
Imagine babies being born with a black mask
And the bulls-eye birthmark on our black a**
The officer Loehmann shot Tamir that fast
400 years of fear appeared in the gat blast
They ain't tell us we bein' murdered by the police, CIA
Ooh child, they said things were gonna get easier
They ain't tell us we bein' crucified in the media
Turned into a hashtag, highlights on Wikipedia
The rich get greedier, the poor more needier
The hood CDA (?) lock us up instead of freein' us
Who speaks for us? We ain't listenin' when you preach to us
So concerned when we can only learn what you teach to us
The glove is the lap dance and hip-hop's the rap bands
Our babies don't stand a fat chance, damn
[Hook]
But no one stopped to think about the babies born
But no one stopped to think about the babies born
But no one stopped to think about the babies born
But no one stopped to think about the babies born
[Interlude]
It's for the babies, yep, it's for the babies
In this world gone crazy, this world called Haities (?)
It's for the babies, yep, it's for the babies
In this world gone crazy, this world called Haities (?)
[Verse 2]
Cause every childhood for black babies
Criminal lives that birth, they call us crack babies, that's crazy
But we ain't never heard them talk about a meth child
White supremacy means always havin' the best child
Wanna hand us to d**h style with a fresh smile
Man, tell me how to protect child from projectiles
We need God to bless a child with a vest now
How we bein' raised if followed by days of let downs
See we inherited ordeals that our parents lived
Taught us to go to war then they treat us like we terrorists
Then act all shocked when it's babies we buryin'
But k**in' for what you want is just bein' American
They teach us to worship Jesus but curse his speeches
But whitewashing the saviour just made them the worst believers
Then point to the flag and tell us to pledge allegiance
To a place they still treat us like a stillborn foetus
Believe it
[Hook]
But no one stopped to think about the babies born
But no one stopped to think about the babies born
But no one stopped to think about the babies born
But no one stopped to think about the babies born
[Interlude]
It's for the babies, yep, it's for the babies
In this world gone crazy, this world called Haities (?)
It's for the babies, yep, it's for the babies
In this world gone crazy, this world called Haities (?)
