Poems of a Liberty City Native This one's for us,
This one's for us,
This one's for us,
And you know we can't give up.
(Say it!)
This one's for us,
This one's for us,
This one's for us,
And you know we can't give up.
I can feel the pain like you when you cry,
Because you want to show the baby love,
But babymomma doesn't see eye to eye,
She still holds the baby with quite a grudge.
All you only really want is your baby,
To love them, bathe them, and raise them,
If you only knew the momma was crazy,
She wouldn't be the one who made them.
But, my brother, strong single father,
Do not let that be such a bother
Because...
This one's for us.
You pay child support and work with school,
A hardworking father who stays dedicated,
You try your best see all things through
For the sake of the child, their mom can't take it..
She wants a baby to suffer, because she lost you,
And the fault is on her after she left you;
We know how much the peditrician cost you,
She got the medicaid card, but never helps you.
But, my brother, young fatherly man,
Do not let tears get the upper hand
Because...
This one's for us.
(Say it!)
This one's for us,
This one's for us,
This one's for us,
And you know we can't give up.
(Say it!)
This one's for us,
This one's for us,
This one's for us,
And you know we can't give up.
If you are a single father raising your baby,
And the babymomma is acting so crazy;
Do not let allow her destroy you,
Because your baby will never enjoy you.
We know you are a good babydaddy,
And that is why she wants you unhappy;
You and the baby together makes her upset,
Because losing you is her biggest regret.
This one's for us.
When I look at my son,
I get filled with joy,
Because I feel that bond
Between me and my boy.
He may be a single father one day too
I'm going to tell him the same thing I told you;
Because...
This one's for us.
(Say it!)
This one's for us,
This one's for us,
This one's for us,
And you know we can't give up.
(Say it!)
This one's for us,
This one's for us,
This one's for us,
And you know we can't give up.
