Pops told my moms, "Push and take deep too Stay calm", her arm, I'm trying to hold on Surgical gloves my scalp, my head pops out Everything is blurry, my first breath out Tears pouring down my pops face he's so to hold me, but I was so bloody They washed me off and he said, "At least that ain't ugly" me in his arms snuggly, laid me on my mother
Finally, I got to see who me in her body She love me, and yo I plan to overthrow the about to see this world in trouble
