Reconsider

Yeah
I know you goin' through a lot, you probably don't wanna talk about this, but
I'm just tryna understand a couple things, I just wanna
I just wanna gain some perspective if you don't mind

Look, I know it ain't my business, but I need to know your compass
What made you have a baby by a nigga you don't fuck with?
I know you in your feelings, treating anger like some comfort
Now you out here being spiteful with the nigga that you stuck with
Fuck it, I'm just wondering why you need it all
He wanna be a dad, but you won't let him be involved
I picture me being in his place, that shit'd have me misplaced
Contemplating my mistakes to beat it raw
I hate a woman that be weaponizing children knowing this'll be the price
Now you all up on the 'Gram using sympathy for likes
Cock-blocking every chance like he ain't never needed rights
I know some real fuck niggas that you ain't never seen in life
He just wanna make it right, you take him back to court
You said you want child support, but not dad support
Said you can raise him on your own and now you lack support
So your kid wonderin' how come he ain't got a dad no more
I hope you heal all your unsolved trauma and heavy wounds
Shit that got you mad while bumping 'em petty tunes
Plotting your revenge like using a stepping stool
To push him over the edge and blocking his every move
You mad 'cause he got a new chick
And you'll be damned if he bring that baby 'round a new bitch
You said he left you out to dry, went and got some new shit
Now ain't no way to keep it cordial and be on some cool shit
So you hit him where it hurts, but you don't get that a nigga gon' be a nigga
Like a woman is a gun and a trigger gon' be a trigger
And no matter how you feel 'bout the shit that had made you bitter
Know your child needs a father, just something to reconsider

Yo, listen, bitch, it's not that serious
Stop calling my line, stop hitting me, like, you doing too much
I told you, you don't wanna be my bitch, you don't wanna let me fuck, that's fine
But I don't want nothing to do with the baby and I don't want nothing to do with you, alright?
If you don't want to be my bitch, then I don't wanna be the father
So cool off that, bye

Look, I gotta tell you how it is, bruh, that shit ain't 'bout to slide
What made you make a baby just to leave it out to dry?
You call yourself a man, but you've been living out a lie
Now your child gotta suffer 'cause his pops got no pride
I hate a fuck nigga tryna hide, avoid the shit that really needed you
Abandoning your seeds just 'cause she don't wanna be with you
You say the only way you'll be around is if she sleep with you
Concerned about your needs instead of doing what you need to do
And I don't care what the past be
'Cause if I'ma keep it G, I think you need your ass beat
Yeah, I think you need a wake-up call, something you've been waiting for
'Cause bitch niggas like you could never dad me
Plus your baby mama cool, she don't never trip
She worked at two or three jobs like it's effortless
She put that life before her own, turned a house into a home
Handled business all alone, shit you never did
You never calling on no birthdays, holiday check ins
Got a new bitch saying her new kids your step kids
Couldn't buy your child shoes, but went and bought a necklace
Shitting on your BM and treat her like some next bitch
But I ain't too surprised, I done seen too many bitches in these niggas
Acting like some hoes 'cause you ain't fit to see the picture
I hope one day you see that your problem is being bitter
'Cause your child needs a father, just something to reconsider, nigga
