[Verse 1]
I hit that third stage
I thought I's straight
I'm such a good baby
Kept my womb straight
Tears rushin' down mama's face
Can't see her yet but I can hear her sayin'
She don't want me now
God, you hear my mom? I'm prayin'?
I'm alive mama, I'm not dead
But I'll die mama if you take those meds
Don't be deceived, I'm already breathin'
I'm beggin' please, don't take my breath
It's life or death, not right or left
Keep playin' with sex and that's what we riskin'
Then we play God, try to redefine life's definition
Aw no, here we go
Numbers still climb, every year they grow
Since Roe vers' Wade, sixty million
But y'all don't hear me though
So here we go to Planned Parenthood
Yeah it's all good, they got you covered
Sorry I wasn't a part of your plan
Sorry you ain't tryna be my mother
Is it 'cause I made you throw up?
'Cause I kicked your stomach so much?
Is that why I don't get to grow up?
Is that why it's time for me to go, huh?
Still wanna be the life of the party, so my life's departed
Sorry, I'm not sorry
[Bridge]
'Cause I all really want is to live
[Verse 2]
There's other options, what about adoption?
For God sakes, I'm a child not a hostage
And this ain't negotiable and it damn sure ain't reversible
If you're pregnant then I'm alive, so how is that not murder though?
If I was there to say it, I'd say you hate me
Have you read the abortion totals lately?
Three thousand, that's on a daily
We're so numb to lives that we takin'
We make love with no glove
Then get away with murder like OJ
What if your life wasn't pro-life
And you had no life, is that ok?
Hell no, heaven help us
Gettin' crucified to help the helpless
But if you were dyin', you'd want the help so
It's a double standard you sell us
And I'm tired of stayin' voiceless
'Bout the lie that life's a choice since
The choice is bein' made
For babies that's voiceless
And that's dead wrong and we've been wrong for too long
Man hold on, let's talk about it
Just the fact that we can talk about it
Means there ain't nothin' else to talk about
I'm alive to say, thank God I wasn't aborted
And I'd die 'fore I support it
[Bridge]
'Cause I all really want is to live
[Outro]
And with all respect
That ain't your choice to choose
'Cause last time I checked
It's my life we lose
So God forgive us, please
Word is You comin' soon
'Til then I'm knees
For all these wombs becomin' tombs
