[00:00:00] For The Babies - Damian Marley

[00:00:18] Written by：Damian Marley/Stephen Marley

[00:00:36] This is real this is real

[00:00:43] Now I see them giving the woman abortion to kill another baby

[00:00:47] Miscarriage and misfortune and premature crack baby

[00:00:50] Strength of Ras Tafari I'm hoping someday maybe

[00:00:54] They don't obey their parents maybe they will obey me

[00:00:58] Future for the babies

[00:00:59] Hopes for the babies

[00:01:01] Tomorrow for the babies

[00:01:03] No sorrow for the babies

[00:01:05] Babies having babies

[00:01:07] Raising our babies

[00:01:08] All of these young ladies

[00:01:10] Give them thanks and praises

[00:01:12] How long can she take it

[00:01:14] Dreams are full of maybes

[00:01:16] Will she ever make it

[00:01:18] Hustles on a daily

[00:01:19] In the club she shake it strip down 'till she naked

[00:01:23] Don't ever mistake it much too real to fake it

[00:01:27] Need it then she'll take it

[00:01:28] She'll do it for the babies

[00:01:30] A mother's love is sacred

[00:01:32] Now you don't you ever fail me

[00:01:34] A woman needs caring sharing love all the time

[00:01:40] No don't you ever fail me

[00:01:41] A child needs loving caring

[00:01:48] Is there no other option than adoption for you babies

[00:01:52] You're raffling and jacketing and auctioning your babies

[00:01:56] Strength of Ras Tafari I'm hoping someday maybe

[00:01:59] They don't obey their parents maybe they will obey me

[00:02:03] Cowards play the game thing

[00:02:05] Fathers do the brave thing

[00:02:07] And that's participating

[00:02:08] He keeps on concentrating

[00:02:10] There is no debating

[00:02:12] No running away thing

[00:02:14] A new life is awakening from his ejaculating

[00:02:18] It's in the oven baking

[00:02:19] Takes two for the making

[00:02:21] He's right there through the cravings

[00:02:23] And early morning waking

[00:02:25] School and educating

[00:02:27] Sports and recreating

[00:02:29] Karate and ballet thing

[00:02:30] Teenager of today thing

[00:02:32] Fathers still relating still communicating

[00:02:36] And they'll always embrace him

[00:02:38] 'Cause they cannot replace him

[00:02:54] And always do your very best to keep a promise

[00:02:56] To your babies

[00:02:58] And if you can't be good at least be honest

[00:03:00] To your babies

[00:03:01] The strength of Ras Tafari I'm hoping someday maybe

[00:03:05] They don't obey their parents maybe they will oh

[00:03:08] History of the babies

[00:03:10] Beginning of the ages

[00:03:12] You're flipping thru the pages

[00:03:14] And up and thru the 80's

[00:03:16] Some are gang related drug affiliated

[00:03:20] Some intoxicated headed for the snake pit

[00:03:23] And papa's locked in cages

[00:03:25] And mama's lacking wages

[00:03:27] And this what they're faced with upon a daily basis

[00:03:30] Bleaching out 'dem faces

[00:03:32] Running from 'dem races

[00:03:34] Shooting up them places

[00:03:36] Killing other babies

[00:03:38] As bitter as the taste is and words can not explain it

[00:03:41] Just walk the narrow pavement

[00:03:43] And speak of love not hatred
