lyrics

1st Verse

Every time it breaks my heart to see
How our children can longer run around playing free
Instead they have to wonder where
They are gonna lay their heads
And how their mouths are being fed
Momma, why you struggling and can barely bring home nothing, what a shame

Chorus

Momma's baby
Poppas maybe
What a shame, will it change


2nd Verse

Some don’t even know who planted the seed
That brought them in this world despair and misery
Instead they turn to friends in the streets
Hoping to fill the void
Of where their father supposed to be
Brother why you hustlin’ and you’re still bringing home nothing, what a shame

Chorus
