(Intro)
4-8 Bars Instrumental
(Hook/Chorus)
(POV: Children's Choir)
It takes a village to raise a man!
Do you innerstand?
It takes a village to raise a woman!
Do you innerstand!
I don't think you innerstand!
It takes a village to raise us!
(Verse 1)
(POV: Feminine Singing)
Whatcha you gonna do when everybody 'round you is usin'?
You a little girl & you need clothes for school?
Set the closest dudes up & pretend like you innocent!
While all the uppties brag about you don't need any hand outs!
Grow up & continue the same schemes!
Settin' niggas up in robberies!
You catch 22 cause nobody ever taught you...
...Another path different than the one you always knew!
(Hook/Chorus)
(POV: Children's Choir)
It takes a village to raise a man!
Do you innerstand?
It takes a village to raise a woman!
Do you innerstand?
I don't think you innerstand!
It takes a village to raise us!
(Verse 2)
(POV: Feminine Speakin' Poetry)
They say it takes a village to raise a child!
But once the child's parents are on drugs...
That child is a forgotten vagabond!
Left alone to raise themselves in this cruel harsh world!
(Hook/Chorus)
(POV: Children's Choir)
It takes a village to raise a man!
Do you innerstand?
It takes a village to raise a woman!
Do you innerstand?
I don't think innerstand!
It takes a village to raise us!
(Verse 3)
(POV: Feminine Singing)
Whatcha you gonna do when them dudes whisper in yo' ear that they love you?
Only to gain one thang,...
Then switch you out like an old pair of jeans!
Got a baby on the way, wit' no baby daddy-by yo' side!
Left you on yo' knees-to add-to what you already goin' through!
Now you're insecure cause nobody ever really loved you...
Now you chasin' niggas cause nobody ever really taught you!
(Hook/Chorus)
(POV: Children's Choir)
It takes a village to raise a man!
Do you innerstand?
It takes a village to raise a woman!
Do you innerstand?
I don't think you innerstand!
It takes a village to raise us!
(Verse 4)
(POV: Feminine Singing)
Where everyone is concerned about greed & self & not the welfare of children!
When the parents are locked up, instead of throwin' away the key, society, throw away their kids!...
Unfortunately subliminally it doesn't matter about the outcome, relatin' to the children's future!
If I'm wrong, then correct me by deeds & actions!
Cause talk is cheap & I'm a gambler!
Put yo' money where yo' words speak!
It's just harsh reality poetry!!!
It takes a village to raise the kids!
(Final-Hook/Chorus)
(POV: Children's Choir)
It takes a village to raise a man!
Do you innerstand?
It takes a village to raise a woman!
Do you innerstand?
I don't think you innerstand!
It takes a village to raise us!
Vent-Can You Relate?
Meditate & Pray...Not Pr(e)y!!!
