The News

Now this will be the hardest thing I've ever had to do,
And I can't lie apart of me don't wanna tell the truth,
I'd rather handle this alone than break the news to you,
But either way I feel a partial risk I might be losin' you,
Ain't thought about tellin' our families yet I'm truly nervous,
Guess I'm afraid that once I tell you what feelings will surface,
I hope you know I never chose to get pregnant on purpose,
And if you decide you wants to leave then I'll deal with the hurting,
And I just want to pull you close and just soak in the moment,
Before I speak a word and change the whole world as you know it,
And even though I wanna cry I ain't about to show it,
I'll be terrified but deep inside I try my best to hold it,
I know this ain't part of your vision,
I don't wanna ruin that,
With this type of commitment,
That'll keep you from doing that,
I just hope that you'll listen and heed my words of caution,
Cause I ain't tryna hear no shit about "get an abortion"
You let me in and we sit on the couch,
I'm tryna speak but nothings comin' out,
Now fear has got my tears runnin' down,
I could flood and drown,
Ain't no point in runnin' round the bush,
I take a breath,
"Baby, look,"

You ask me "baby what's wrong?"
I look at you and say "wait,
If you ain't know I'm afraid,
Just take one look at my face,
I need a second to breath,
Can you just give me some space?",
You're tryna hold me together,
I'm tryna push you away,
And still I'm tryna convince you everything is okay,
But in my heart I truly wish that I can get you to stay,
How do I get you to stay?
Damn,

See at this point the hardest part is tryna look at you,
I almost die, with every time I try to do it too,
There's only two possible moods, you happy and say you over the moon,
Or you about tell me how I ruined you,
And I don't wanna do it to you, right there, waiting and gettin' restless,
Patiently pacing next to me waiting to hear a sentence,
Or even a word,
Not a clue about what I've learned and the way it's bout to disturb your very way of life,
Boy it's been 3 years since we first kissed, 17 years old,
Park bench up in the blistering cold,
It was you, pulling me close,
I gave you my heart to hold,
And now I pray to god that one day together we gray and old but,
Hard as I'm trying at prying my lips apart,
My silence is weighing heavy on your heart,
You know that's it's serious,
Under my breathe, you end up hearing it,
I tell you that I missed my period,
You look at me shocked, and honestly I don't what your vibe is,
You keep asking me if I'm joking I promise you I ain't lying,
I took a test, then another just to be sure,
They both positive, and I'm positive that it's yours,
You my only one,
And you're only man I'm wanting when it's said and done,
That's out of everyone,
And I'm prepared raise this baby by myself,
I just thought that you should probably know as well,
But for now,

I ask you "baby what's wrong?"
You look at me and say "wait,
Now you should know I'm afraid,
'Cause I can't look at your face,
Let's take a second to breath,
Can you just give me some space?",
I'm tryna hold it together,
We drifting further away,
I don't know how to convince you everything is okay,
But in my heart all that I wanna do is get you to stay,
How do I get you to stay?
Damn,

Now this gon be the hardest thing we've ever had to do,
And for a second I think it's you being funny boo,
But the more I look I can tell that this ain't a joke to you,
I'm looking round for cameras is this a prank for a couple views,
But nah you ain't like that,
You ain't about the clout,
You the type that if there's problem let's get it figured out,
And while that's cool and shit,
I start to realise quick,
Oh holy shit,
You mean to tell me we expecting a kid?
See in my mind, I'm tripping and going crazy,
But then I stare at you and remember that you my lady,
So now I play it sweet, and I try to get you to face me,
Baby listen, I know that you worried, but we gon' have this baby,
I say it with my chest,
I play the comforter,
But under the surface,
Baby I'm nervous,
I'm still on my learners permit,
It's barely a wage I'm earning,
I'm scared of the page I'm turning,
Ain't never a perfect person,
I know I'm completely worthless,
Except whenever I'm standing witchu,
You made me better, I had to become a man to get you,
I know you're worried if this is something I can commit to,
Though I'm afraid I know this is something that we can get through,
But what's on my mental is
Nappies and wipes, formula,
Family not supporting us,
Can we even afford this I'm,
Worried I can't protect you at all,
What if I can't be the man to answer the call?
In your, hour of need, I let you slip and you fall, damn,
I just don't wanna be the type that's never there,
I always thought that I'd more prepared,
But shit the way I see it we can sit around complaining 'bout our life,
Or maybe we can try and live it right,

That's when I tell you "baby hold on",
I look at you and say "hey,
Baby I know you afraid,
But take a look at my face,
Just take a second to breath,
You take as long as it take,
Just let me hold you together,
No don't you push me away,
And you ain't gotta convince me everything is okay,
And don't you walk out with baby, girl I need you to stay,
How do I get you to stay,
