Tech N9ne Lyrics
"That's My Kid"

If my kid has a problem
Is up to me as the guardian to go and solve 'em
Make my life an involvment
Late at night when I call 'em
I like to hear 'em say, "daddy, your song is awesome!"
Instead of gangbangers in school won't let up
I'm fed up, I'm wondering if you can come up an red up
You shut up! Negativity can be found inside of my angels
Even though I was stupid but I put it down
Set you up, then I let it go headed for energetic flows
When I'm up to know that I was down and out,
But now I'm breaded though.
I know you saw me rep colors when I was young, dumb and malicious
I'm thankful that all my blemishes never made you suspicious.
Last on to light, that's known to hype
Apparent you coherent, knowing I rapped wrong to right
Love and positivity instilled in my kid
Their family, my family their mother and I did
Discipline starts at home even if they can't stand you
Watch 'em fights land, you clock 'em right hand
To stop 'em that a man just to stand up, even add a camera
They won't be James Holmes, and they won't be Adam Lanza
A John Malvo, I'll flow loud for my child though
Ain't raising no , evil out my house yo
Instead a me watching 'em disappear in the night
Here I am at graduation saying, "that's my kid right there!"

Hook:
I proudly claim my love,
The futures born from my own flesh and blood
And all that matters is time,
So prayers that the sun will always shine
On that sweet child of my mine!

To my unborn I give my all so you could ball like I couldn't
Stay in school and play it smooth and do those things that I wouldn't,
Pay attention and keep your distance from ignorant instances,
Play an instrument, anything that you want just envision it!
Follow your dreams, no matter what may come or what may follow!
Cause ain't no shame in failing as long as you know you gave your all,
Stand up, man, get a handle on yourself, tighten your belt!
Do what you can to do for you and ya'll just don't,
Do it for the wealth that they offer
It sounds awful but it ma here talking
And she said that I ain't offering a call just as often as I should.
I pray that you get older
And you understand that I was just doing what I could when she left me!
If you have a second, I could explain,
Like so many transitions, this is the life, people change
Whether I'm on top solo or dead in a box,
I love you dearly sincerely and that'll never stop,
For my kid!
For my kid!

Hook:
I proudly claim my love,
The futures born from my own flesh and blood
And all that matters is time,
So prayers that the sun will always shine
On that sweet child of my mine!

Paris and Darius, Dariana Unique, ,
And one on the way in a matter of weeks,
But it's a shame cause I think that my other daughter ain't mine,
Andria baby, I love you, I guess your father was blind!
In due time you'll understand it,
It's how your mama' was scandalous
Wait, this don't seem right man,
I don't think I can handle it!
When I all I ever did was show love for you,
Sweated blood for you, any moment take a slug for you!
But its cool, the baby mama drama is expected,
And that karma is going to be what I been blessed with.
Sit back and learn your lessons as our seeds grow from kids to adolescence,
Then present you for yourself as misdirection.
The first to heed the message is Malik,
Abandoned by his mama on thanksgiving evening,
About three years ago was up to me
To feed to 'em morals, values manhood, knowledge
A week ago he graduated
You ask me, then I'mma say.

Hook:
I proudly claim my love,
(That's my kid, man!)
The futures born from my own flesh and blood
(For them!)
And all that matters is time,
So prayers that the sun will always shine
On that sweet child of my mine!

[Outro:]
Pay attention to your children!
They shouldn't be able to be into too much
That you're not aware of!
