Fatherhood

Raising these babies, As a father I done had my ups and downs, As a man I be praying I don't let my babies down, As a brother my religion has me focused on The Highest, As I pray and you know I got my babies right beside me, As a father gotta teach them that within there's something greater, As a man I love their mothers without them I couldn't make them, As a brother my religion has me focused on a better way, I know I'm far from perfect but at least I taught them how to pray. Raising these babies, As a father I done cried so many times, As a man if I can't feed them I'll turn to a life of crime, As a brother my religion tells me put them babies first, After God life is hard but I know it could be worst, As a father I'll protect them cause I love my sons and daughters, As a man I'm responsible to nurture and support them, As a brother my religion tells me teach them equity, They're my heart and without them I don't think that I can breathe.
