My belly big
My feet keep swellin
And my head is puffy like a watermelon
My body is weak
My system keeps rejecting food that I eat
My, my, my pregnancy

I'm smart I know
I can't go back and take it slow
It was wrong that I knew
My future and fun is what I blew
And I still can't seem to blame just me
My, my, my pregnancy

My clothes don't fit
I'm getting darker around my tits
My mom says I'm cute
My mom says, I love you
But they say this to hide the pain they're going through
On top of that they want me to understand
I tell them I know and I can see
Man my, my, my pregnancy

I eat more than would like
I squeeze on something tight
When this pain flows from inside
I can only try to tell how it hurts like hell
Like someone being tortured in the back of jail.

My hormones jump
My argument rises
I have such mixed emotions to where you can't tell who
From who; one minute I'm happy the next I'm blue.
This is not a ride for me to say, "Whee!"
Cause every 5 minutes I have to pee
My my my my pregnancy

It's not easy but I will survive
This is not funny, it's true and live
In fact it's true some people die
I'm praying that it's not me and hopefully not my soon-to-come baby
this is all I go through with
My my my pregnancy.

Miss the Pill You Go Down Hill

Ever since my life went down hill
All because I missed the pill
I wanted love
I need you
Now this mistake has made my life blue
I can't supply what my baby needs
And my boyfriend is no longer here with me.
My mother warned me, she's gone now all Igot is me
I wish Icould go back
I wish someone else could take up this slack
I wish my boyfriend would help
But he told me he'll never come back
I'm only 15 and I wish my life was still ahead of me
I had to drop out of school
My baby's now 2 and my parents are still calling
Me a fool. I keep telling myself
It's not my fault, I just wanted someone to love
Not to end up with this heavy glove
My friends tell me it's a gift from above
In my mind they're right
But my life has become a fight
The pregnancy pill it's true and real
If you must have sex don't get high off the ex
You will have to deal with what's next
If you want someone to need and love you
God is right and he is true find someone you know will come through
Or find someone you can talk to, don't let your life go down hill
If you have sex, use a condom or pill.

I am very upset to say
I didn't hear from my man today
All he had to do is call
I am the one Afterall
He was propably at work or playin' Basketball

Ring Ring
He's never home
His tired self act like he cain't answer the phone
At least not when i hit 'em on the celly
So I have my potnas call and ask for Carnelly
I gotta tell 'em bout what's brewin' in my belly

His momma told me
Look bitch ... Stop Callin'
You 14 years old
And my son NOT ballin'
All this time you been chasin' hind these men
Now ya knocked up and you lookin' for a friend.
See you'se a real silly chick, shoulda stayed in class
Then people wouln't be sorry feelin' for ass
Shoulda thought bout that 'fore you gapped the legs
The nerve of you, butt naked havin' sex in my in bed
See I could never have a baby just ta keep a man
If wonna trap my son you betta get a new plan
