J. Cole - Lost Ones lyrics

[Verse 1] Baby girl, I can't imagine what it's like for you I got you pregnant, now inside there is a life in you I know you wondering if this is gon' make me think 'bout wifing you Like if you have my first child, would I spend my whole life with you? Now I ain't tryna pick a fight with you, I'm tryna talk Now I ain't tryna spend the night with you, I'm kinda lost See, I've been giving it some thought lately and Frankly I'm feel like we ain't ready and this.. Hold up now, let me finish! Think about it, baby, me and you we still kids ourself How we gonna raise a kid by ourself? Handle biz by ourself? A n***a barely over 20 Where the hell we gon' live? Where am I gon' get that money? I refuse to bring my boy or my girl in this world When I ain't got sh** to give 'em And I'm not with them n***as who be knocking girls up and skate out So girl you gotta think about how the options weigh out, what's the way out? [Hook] And I ain't too proud to tell you That I cry sometime, I cry sometimes about it And girl I know it hurt, but if this world was perfect Then we can make it work but I doubt it And I ain't too proud to tell you That I cry sometime, I cry sometimes about it And girl I know it hurt, but if this world was perfect Then we can make it work but I doubt it [Verse 2] She said "n***a, you got some nerve to come up to me talking about abortion This my body n***a, so don't think you finna force sh**! See I knew that this is how you act, so typical Said you love me, oh, but now you flipping like reciprocals It figures though, I shoulda known that you was just another n***a No different from them other n***as Who be claiming that they love you just to get up in them drawers Knowing all the right things to say, I let you hit it raw, mothaf**a! Now I'm pregnant, you don't wanna get involved, mothaf**a? Tryna take away a life, is you God, mothaf**a? I don't think so! This a new life up in my stomach Regardless if I'm your wife, this new life here I'mma love it I ain't budging I just do this by my mothaf**in' self See my mama raised me without no mothaf**in' help from a man But I still don't understand how you could say that Did you forget all those conversations that we had way back 'bout your father? And you told me that you hate that n***a Talking about he a coward and you so glad that you ain't that n***a Cause he left your mama when she had you and he ain't sh** And here you go doing the same sh**... you ain't sh** n***a" [Hook] And I ain't too proud to tell you That I cry sometimes, I cry sometimes about it And boy this sh** hurts, and ain't nobody perfect Still we can make it work but you doubt it [Verse 3] They say everything happens for a reason And people change like the seasons, then grow apart She wanted him to show his heart and say he loved her He spoke the magic words and on the same day he f**ed her Now she wide open, she put a ring up on his finger if she could But he loved her cause the p**y good but she ain't no wife though Uh-oh! She telling him she missed her period like typos He panicking, froze up like a mannequin A life grows inside her, and now he asking "Is it even mine?" What if this b**h ain't even pregnant, dog, could she be lying? And she be crying cause he acting distant Like "Ever since I told you this, n***a you acting different" And all his n***as saying "Man, these hoes be trapping n***as Playing with n***as' emotions like they some action figures" Swear they get pregnant for collateral, it's like extortion Man if that b**h really pregnant, tell her to get a abortion But what about your seed n***a? [Outro] And I ain't too proud to tell you That I cry sometime, I cry sometimes about it And I ain't too proud to tell you That I cry sometime, I cry sometimes about it
