baby gurl featuring Candice Saunders and Prophit Child

from it takes a village to make a record by Ray Prim

/

lyrics

when she was just a little girl
maybe five or 7
you could tell boy right away
that she'd be trouble , trouble
no matter what was said
she would never listen
it was like talking to a wall
still...
can't help but love her, lover her
want her to avoid
all the pain she felt
want her to stay clear
of all the boys that will
treat her like a door step
see her as an object
baby gurl
when will you learn
baby gurl
must you always learn the hard way
baby gurl your moma been done that road still
no matter what we say to you...

It all goes out the window with a crash
Baby gurl wanna be so fly
Running from plane jane her propellers taking a nose dive
Them angels wings can't carry you AND yo baggage
Use to be so sweet why should it end so tragic
You know better than all that you was raised better
Wanna take a walk on the wild side cause it pays better
Somewhere developed the saying never to say never
Till life caught you and pierced right through ya skin cause it ain't leather
Now you think back on all the moments you missed and ain't treasure
Like when mom and dad were schooling you to it and ain't let up
And all you was thinking then is why they talking can't shut up
Fast forward to being fed up with what they warned you ahead of time... slipping
Don't wait for none
Don't be thirtsy the spoils go to the patient one
now you sipping ace and rum with a future basic bum
Screaming on the inside looking for a place to run hun

now she snuck up on that age
where the boys start looking
she grew into her shape
so now they trippin trippin
pretending to be sleep
late nights scheming
plans of sneaking boys inside her room
girl you needs a whippin whippin

baby gurl
when will you learn
baby gurl
must you always learn the hard way
baby gurl your moma been done that road still
baby gurl you'll never learn
she wants ya to avoid all the pain she felt
she wants you to believe in the cards your dealt
she wants you to achieve much more than her
but no matter what we say to you
it all goes out the window.
