That's My Kid

(album: Something Else - 2013)

[Verse 1: Tech N9ne]
If my kid has a problem
It's up to me as the guardian to go and solve em'
Make my life and involve em
Late at night when I call em
I like to hear em' say daddy your song is awesome
Instead of gangbangers in school won't let up
I'm fed up I'm wondering if you can come up an red up
You shut up, negativity can be found inside my angels
Even though I was stupid but I put it down
Set tripping But I let it go headed for energetic flow
When I'm up to know that I was down and out
But now I'm breaded though
I know you saw me rep colors when I was young, dumb and malicious
I'm thankful, that all my blemishes never made you suspicious
Latched on to light
That's known to hype apparent you coherent knowing I rapped wrong to right (write)
Love and positivity instilled in my kid
Their family my family their mother and I did
Discipline starts at home even if they can't stand you
Watch em' fights land, you clock em' right hand
To stop em' that a man to stand up even add a camera
They won't be James Holmes, and they won't be Adam Lanza
A John Malvo, I'll flow loud for my child though
Ain't raising no groucho evil out my house yo
Instead a me watching em' disappear in the night
Air em' at graduation saying that's my kid right there

[Hook: Cee Lo Green]
I proudly claim my love,
The futures born from my own flesh and blood,
All that matters, this time,
So prayers that the sun will always shine
On that sweet child of my mine,

[Verse 2: Big KRIT]
To my unborn I give my all so you could ball like I could,
Stay in school and play it smooth and do those things that I wouldn't,
Pay attention and keep your distance from ignorant instances,
Play a instrument anything that you want just invision it,
Follow your dreams, no matter what may come or what may fall,
Cause' ain't no shame in failing as long as you know you gave your all,
Staned up, man up, get a handle on yourself tighten your belt,
Do what you can to do for you and ya'll just don't, do it for the wealth that they offer
It sounds awful but if me and your mama' ain't talking,
And she said that I ain't offering a call just as often as I should,
I pray that you get older and you understand that I was just, doing what I could,
If she let me, if you have a second I could explain,
Like so many transitions in life that people change,
Whether I'm on top soil, or dead in a box,
I love you dearly sincerely and that'll never stop,
For my kid...
For my kid...

[Verse 3: Kutt Calhoun]
Paris and Darius Dariana Unique Oshay Malik,
And one on the way in a matter of weeks,
But it's a shame cause' I think that my other daughter ain't mine,
Andria baby I love you I guess your father was blind,
In due time you'll understand it, how your mama' was scandelous,
(Wait this don't seem right man, I don't think I can handle it,)
When I all I ever did was show love for you,
Sweated blood for you, any moment take a slug for you,
But it's cool, the baby mama drama is expected,
And that karma is going to be what I been blessed with
Sit back and learn your lessons as our seeds grow from kids to adolescence,
Then present you for yourself as misdirection,
The first to heed the message is Malik,
Abandonded by his mama' on thanksgiving evening,
Bout' three years ago was up to me to feed to em morals,
Values manhood, knowledge a week ago he graduated
You ask me, then I'm a' say.
