MONIE LOVE - 4 Da Children lyrics

rate me

[Chorus:]

4 da children let's stick together

4 da children try-make life a little better

4 da children try to make this world a better place

4 da children 4 da children

[Verse 1]

Mothers all over the world stop look alert

A lot of things are tryna meddle with your work

From the day you give birth your time becomes a little less

You got a permanent job in which there'll be no rest

You have to keep an eye open 'cause there's far too much to contend with

Hope you got a good partner you can go round the bend with

You have to accept that to a certain extent

Your private life is at a halt yep it's a true commintment

Well the horse is through the gate get ready now 'cause here they come

What you teach your child determines what they will become

How much your child is worth to you to this there is no digit

Brothers like Ed O G said be a father can you dig it?

I write this here song to express my sentimentality

And help to encourage some to wake up to reality

Of why your parents boss you around like indeed they do

I only understand because I'm now a parent too

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]

What a world what a world that we live in

People try to steal your babies and drugs is what is given

To a child by a child it's the style ain't it wild

Collectively the facts ain't a lot to make you smile

But s smile does exist among the dirt and the mist

It happens when the angel in your life is kissed

And loved and hugged and cherished and cared for

When the wounds of the world are sore

Hearts are breakin' hearts are breakin' can you see it

Being strong is must and we're too busy tryna be it

Staring out into a scum-filled a world with disgust

Define the line between success and gettin' left back in the dust

Opposition that arises you know we have to get over

And listen to those not only wiser but also older

Turn our children into responsible men and ladies

And to the cops stop beatin' on our babies

[Chorus x2]

I didn't bring a child into this world for politicians

Trippin' on each other starting wars and causing friction

Makin' life a little harder for those strugglin' to cope

Bring a cease towards your fighting instead of the people's hope

It's easy for the powers that be to make decisions

Tell you to get on with get on with who gave you the permission

Sending the youth that we produce to help you score

I don't see any of your kids so fight your own wars

As to discrimination little ones don't know the meaning

Unless we separate they could be on the same team

And it's okay to teach your child all their history

Until it somehow slowly develops to bigotry

Pass up opportunities to segregate the space

Think about the children's future make this world a better place

Before decide to act wild

Remember everybody is somebody else's child

[Chorus x2]
