Kid: Hey uncle, whatchu doin’?
|
Blueprint: Aw, just, uh, writin’, just writin’ down my thoughts. Little song I’m trying to finish up.
|
K: Yeah? What’s it about?
|
B: Well, it’s kind of about, you know, girls and they grow up, and how they be feelin’ pressure to do stuff. and... boys, and…just advice I have to give you some day.
|
K: Can I hear it?
|
|
I know it might seem like the cool thing to do, but having sex with him ain’t the best thing for you.
|
You worry too much about what they think of you, Girl don’t define you by what they think is cool.
|
You wanna be with him 'cause he is the hottest thing in school.
|
He got the newest gear, and he got the cleanest shoes.
|
But take my advice girl: Don't be a fool.
|
Before you get involved with him you gotta have rules.
|
Rule number 1: Make him call you first. Then ask him if he goes to church.
|
Not the church alone makes you better than anyone, but if he is only out for sex he'll definitely run.
|
Rule number 2 might seem kinda wrong, but tell him you got older brothers even if you don’t.
|
Tell him they're thug'd out and always around.
|
Let him know your last man got a beat down.
|
And when he asks you 'will they do that to me?’ you say 'only if you raise your hand and never hit me'.
|
Rule number 3: Even if you don’t practice it, tell him you are a virgin and you're all about abstinence.
|
You ain’t having sex cause your parents aint having it.
|
Your mom is real strict and your dad will have a fit.
|
And if you say that and he stays on the line, keep him around for a while, it might be worth your time.
|
|
K: That's really good uncle.
|
B: Thank you, thank you.. You know I.. Tryin' make you sure you know what you need to know 'cause.. It's gon' come the time that you gon' need that advice.. I mean, you're only 8 right now but.. Tryn' to look out.
|
K: Did you write some more?
|
B: Yeeah.. I gotta, i gotta a second verse i can let you check out. You know.. Promising lines..
|
K: I wanna hear it.
|
B: Ok.
|
|
I know it might seem like the cool thing to do, but having a baby now aint the best thing for you.
|
You worry too much about what they think of you, Girl don’t define you 'bout what they think is cool.
|
You are a teenager..(Nothing) but a bundle of joy.
|
Somebody you can teach hold a girl or a boy.
|
But you got a life in your hands.. That aint a toy.
|
How you gonna pay the bills when your not even employed?
|
I know you think I’m hating just to call you out, but you don’t need a kid: you need a paper route.
|
Have you even thought about what mom is all about?
|
Mom got a real job, mom don’t go out.
|
Mom gotta drop the kid off at day care.
|
And when the kids is sick, mom gotta stay there.
|
I know it probably seems like it really aint fair..
|
But she gotta work twice as hard cause pops aint there.
|
Now you can go to sleep if you're feeling tired.
|
But soon you wont get to sleep if the babys crying.
|
You gotta fix a warm bottle plus change his diapers.
|
Forget about the single moms you used to admire.
|
Your childhood is gone and you can barely remember that.
|
The innocence you had, nobody can bring it back.
|
Now your whole life is dirty diapers and(?)
|
I hope you reconsider when you hear the fax
