I dedicate this to all the single mommies. [song]
You may not appreciate this song, but if you listen to the words you will understand what he is trying to say.
This may not be your cup of tea.

Some say the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
I say the darker the flesh then the deeper the roots
I give a holler to my sisters on welfare
Tupac cares, if don't nobody else care
And uhh, I know they like to beat ya down a lot
When you come around the block brothas clown a lot
But please don't cry, dry your eyes, never let up
Forgive but don't forget, girl keep your head up
And when he tells you you ain't nuttin don't believe him
And if he can't learn to love you you should leave him
Cause sista you don't need him
And I ain't tryin to gas ya up, I just call em how I see em
You know it makes me unhappy (what's that)
When brothas make babies, and leave a young mother to be a pappy
And since we all came from a woman
Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman
I wonder why we take from our women
Why we rape our women, do we hate our women?
I think it's time to kill for our women
Time to heal our women, be real to our women
And if we don't we'll have a race of babies
That will hate the ladies, that make the babies
And since a man can't make one
He has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one
So will the real men get up
I know you're fed up ladies, but keep your head up
[Chorus]
Keep ya head up, oooo child things are gonna get easier
ooooo child things'll
get brighter [2x]
[Verse Two:]
Aiyyo, I remember Marvin Gaye, used to sing ta me
He had me feelin like black was tha thing to be
And suddenly tha ghetto didn't seem so tough
And though we had it rough, we always had enough
I huffed and puffed about my curfew and broke the rules
Ran with the local crew, and had a smoke or two
And I realize momma really paid the price
She nearly gave her life, to raise me right
And all I had ta give her was my pipe dream
Of how I'd rock the mic, and make it to tha bright screen
I'm tryin to make a dollar out of fifteen cents
It's hard to be legit and still pay tha rent
And in the end it seems I'm headin for tha pen
I try and find my friends, but they're blowin in the wind
Last night my buddy lost his whole family
It's gonna take the man in me to conquer this insanity
It seems tha rain'll never let up
I try to keep my head up, and still keep from gettin wet up
You know it's funny when it rains it pours
They got money for wars, but can't feed the poor
Say there ain't no hope for the youth and the truth is
it ain't no hope for tha future
And then they wonder why we crazy
I blame my mother, for turning my brother into a crack baby
We ain't meant to survive, cause it's a setup
And even though you're fed up
Huh, ya got to keep your head up
[Chorus]
[Verse Three:]
And uhh
To all the ladies havin babies on they own
I know it's kinda rough and you're feelin all alone
Daddy's long gone and he left you by ya lonesome
Thank the Lord for my kids, even if nobody else want em
Cause I think we can make it, in fact, I'm sure
And if you fall, stand tall and comeback for more
Cause ain't nuttin worse than when your son
wants to kno why his daddy don't love him no mo'
You can't complain you was dealt this
hell of a hand without a man, feelin helpless
Because there's too many things for you to deal with
Dying inside, but outside you're looking fearless
While da tears, is rollin down your cheeks
Ya steady hopin things don't fall down this week
Cause if it did, you couldn't take it, and don't blame me
I was given this world I didn't make it
And now my son's getten older and older and cold
From havin the world on his shoulders
While the rich kids is drivin Benz
I'm still tryin to hold on to my survivin friends
And it's crazy, it seems it'll never let up, but
please... you got to keep your head up

Re: I dedicate this to all the single mommies. [song]
I thought you were leaving for like 3 weeks or months or years or something.
That was quick.
Not complaining, your entertaining
Eh things change. You know? Like you would have never thought it would get to the point where your BD and you would choose to go seperate ways. That you thought things were going to be okay, but at the end of it all the only good that came out of it was a wonderful baby.
I dumped my BD who is DB. I saw it coming
Ditto this. And I only have an hour left of work. I knew it was going to be a good Friday!
No eatin here honey- I hear everybody and their brother has been in your junk. But how about a cigar?
Yah, I was the one to end things with XH, the decision wasn't exactly mutual. Although it may or may not have had something to do with the condoms I found in his truck, or his drug addiction.
I could careless if you broke up with him or he broke up with you. Point is you guys aren't together.
Is that why I have been on the Single Parents board. Thank you so much for that explination
Favorite part of the song lyrics that you posted is "I give a holla to my sistas on welfare".
Just because you are likely on welfare but continue to squirt out children doesn't mean you should assume that the rest of us are also in the same predicament.
Yes Carrie, you are here because you ain't got no baby daddy. And you is on welfare, all of us welfare sistas need to unite!
I must have missed something... kinda liked the third verse to that song though cause damn the struggle to stay above water some days is hard. If it wasn't for a few angels in my pocket these last few weeks I don't know where I would be.
That being said *sits back and watches this post*
Let me get this straight you found condoms in his truck then found out about his drug addiction. Hahaha. Get off your high horse sister. He had to be a drug addict before you had you son. You know how to choose them right. They just don't become drug addicts over night. Miss I'm perfect isn't so perfect.
Careful Miss *lutty, I might have to cram my hotdog in yo mouth.
I can see why your XH chose to fvck other people. Did you ever think about when he fvcked them he came back and fvcked you? Hey at least he was safe about it.
Yes, XH was making it a point to bang every skank he could lay his hands on. I'm sure if you lived a little closer he could be your next baby's daddy.
Good for him. Good for him. Like I said. Get off you fvcking high horse. But yet he was still fvcking you after he would fvck them. Chances are he had been fvcking around but just wasn't ever caught. And kudos for you staying with him even though he was a drug addict.

You are an idiot, do not pretend you understand anything about addiction.
Are you starting a contest to see how many times you can use fvck in a sentence?
And yes, I would say that's a pretty profound assumption that he had been cheating for some time but was never caught. See when he was caught, was when I LEFT. Get it? You are really a bright one!
Lurker, having to post because I cannot ignore the slutbag that is D.Darlin.
D - you are truly a dirty, skanky, b!tch.
You start attacking the poster who's DH had a drug issue. At least she was smart enough to only fall for a douchebag once. You on the other hand, have got knocked up 3 FVCKING TIMES by losers.
This, sweetie, makes you a triple douchebag loser by proxy.
Lurker. Ha Ha Ha. Okay. Like I said, you can't wake up one day and choose to be an addicit. You would have to be doing it for a while.
::Waves hi to Amber::
I'm glad they didn't throw you in jail for your most recent outburst against Gary. He's such a jerk and just knows how to push your buttons!
You can shut you fvcking mouth for once. Im done being nice to you. You want to sound all perfect and *** but as I can see you were by your ticker married 2 weeks ago. Or something. But you were pregnant 2 times before that. Those babies would have been b@stard children. Just like mine. I'm so sorry that they didn't make it. I'd figure you would at least be nice after the losses that you suffered. But no. Your still a douche bag. You also have nothing better to do then stalk my posts and say hanus sh!t. I may be a douchebag but at least I got my children with me right now. Who love and care about me.
First off are you seriously implying that people "choose" to be addicts?
Second depending on their DOC, it can litterally happen in a weeks time. There are thousands of women in Alanon meetings all acoross the US who got married to men with no history of drug abuse. To imply that someone's decision to marry somone who later was discovered to be an active addict, is indicative of their discision making skills, is ignorant.
Wow, you have less class than me. And that's saying something.
Wow, you are really reaching new lows. Are you seriously going to go there about someone's pregnancy losses?
It was all fun and games until you pulled THAT card out of the bag. You will stop at nothing for attention.
Bwahahaha.
Hang on. You are aware that you're a bit notorious for your stupidity/trashiness/sluttiness ALL over the bump, right? And people post on other boards about you? So long as you're clear. I had no intention of commenting on this until you opened your sh!thead mouth.
Are you really so unintelligent that you need to pick on dead babies? You're a fvcking winner.
At least my children were conceived out of love and not some skankass gang bang.
Oh, and another thing? Each one of my pregnancies was wanted. They were always loved by both their mother AND their father. More than I can say for yours.
I would tell you to go fvck yourself, cumbucket, except the rest of the lower end of the gene pool seems to be taking care of that for you.
Best.line.ever in the history of bumping.
You probably forced him to start again. Sh!t by the way you act on here I wouldn't blame him.
::applause::
That was amazing.
My Lunch Blog
Oh, I totally did! See, I KNEW you'd been talking/sleeping with him! That's exactly what he told me. Verbatim.
I LOVE IT, maybe it should be "I'm loving it!"
& the second bold I personally like "comedumpster"
