Letter 2 My Unborn
Johnny Lee Jackson, Channette M. Higgens, Channoah L. Higgens, Tupac Amaru Shakur, Michael Jackson
To my unborn child
To my unborn child (unborn child)
In case I don't make it
Just remember daddy loves you (to my unborn child)
I did everything I could do to make it work for me and you
So don't worry 'bout what people say (to my unborn)
You knew daddy loved you, haha
Now ever since my birth, I've been cursed since I'm born to wild
In case I never get to holla at my unborn child
Many things learned in prison, blessed and still livin'
Tryin' to earn every penny that I'm gettin', and reminiscin'
To the beginnin' of my mission
When I was conceived, and came to be in this position
My mama was a Panther loud, single parent but she proud
When she witnessed baby boy rip a crowd
To school, but I dropped out, and left the house
'Cause my mama say I'm good for nothin', so I'm out
Since I only got one life to live, God forgive me for my sins
Let me make it and I'll never steal again, or deal again
My only friend is my misery
Wantin' revenge for the agony they did to me
See my life ain't promised but it'll sure get better
Hope you understand my love letter, to my unborn child
I'm writing you a letter
This is to my unborn child (to my unborn)
Wanna let you know I love you (to my unborn child)
Love you, want you to know I feel this way (to my unborn) (I feel)
'Cause I think about you every day
I got so much to say (to my unborn child)
So complicated to escape fate
And you can never understand 'til we trade places
Tell the world I feel guilty to bein anxious
Ain't no way in hell, that I could ever be a rapist
It's hard to face this, cold world on a good day
When will they let the little kids in the hood play?
I got sh- five times but I'm still breathin'
Livin' proof there's a God if you need a reason
Can I believe in my own fate?
Will I raise my kids in the right, or the wrong way?
Dear mama I'm a man now
I Wanna make it on my own, not a handout
Make way for a whirlwind prophesized
I Wanna go in peace when I gotta die
On these cold streets
Ain't no love, no mercy, and no friends
In case you never see my face again
To my unborn child
I'm writing you a letter
This is to my unborn child (to my unborn) (I'm writing you, yeah)
Wanna let you know I love you (to my unborn child)
Love you, want you to know I feel this way (to my unborn child) (how I love you)
'Cause I think about you every day (every day)
I got so much to say
Dear Lord can you hear me? Tell me what to say
To my unborn seed in case I pass away
Will my child get to feel love
Or are we all just cursed to be street thugs?
'Cause bein' black hurts
And even worse if you speak first
Livin' my life as an Outlaw, what could be worse?
'Cause maybe if I tried to change
Who I'm kiddin', I'ma thug 'til I die, I'm a rider, man
Touch bases, eat lunch at plush places
Regular criminal oasis awaits us
If there's a ghetto for true thugs, I'll see you there
And I'm sorry for not bein' there
Just know your daddy was a soldier, me against the world
Bless the boys, and all my little girls
To the Lord I'm eternal, restin' in peace
Please take care of all my seeds
To my unborn child
I'm writing you a letter
