Born 2 B.R.E.E.D - Monie Love

I’m a mother that gave birth young, so what about it Does it mean right away that I’m wrong

All in due time, well my time is right now

So don’t ask me who, where, what when or how

I know I got me and a good partner beside me One that will never try to desert of defy me So who are you to tell me how to run my family

I can plan it by myself, I need nobody planning me

'Cause yeah I might be young, but my stability’s correct

Everything about my little one I must protect

What she sees, what she hears, and everything surrounding

A decent state of mind is what my daughter will be found in Young mother be thankful, be strong

The fact that you’re young, it ain’t wrong

A mother I will try to be Tha fact is, I was born 2 B.R.E.E.D.

So tell me what do the kids learn at school

How to pack a pistol, how to play a class fool

Then they blame the parents when the kid plays hooky

Subject to getting shot is something that I wouldn’t wanna be Maybe it is safer to stay within your home

Protecting yourself from getting a bullet within your dome

It’s something to think about, the word safe

I often wonder if there exists such a place

Whether on a bus, a train, or plain walkin'

You’re subject to the devious ones that might be hawkin'

I’ll teach my child to respect every day as a blessing

And follow the path of her future lesson by lesson

So ask me again if I need ghetto assistance

There’s food on my table and my baby’s not wearing piss pants

I could teach my child more at home that you could ever

Corrupt the youthful mind I produce, that will be never

This one will learn from me, the other babies too

'Cause what you teach is censorship, I wanna teach what’s true

So bother me not with our by the book method

If I was already deaf I would be getting deafer

I know exactly what I’m doing, in it I believe

My life is in my offspring 'Cause I was born 2 B.R.E.E.D.
