Baby Boy Songtext
von Mary Kay Place

Don′t take my baby boy
Don't take my pride and joy
Don′t take my baby boy
Don't take my pride and joy (Don't take)


Mama I′m sorry but I been going through it
The only thing helping is me making this music
But that ain′t enough
One day I know imma lose it
Make it a reality I'm dreaming lucid
Codeine in my cup
Drugs take the pain away
Guess that′s what they say
Wishing I would fade away
Can you pray for me
I need help yes I do
Pills numb the pain if only you knew
What I be going through, I don't be showing you all the scars that′s on my soul
Mixing the trees and pills, can you please grab the wheel cuz I might just lose control
I need a shoulder to cry on to make me feel better
But it's cold in this world I think I′m getting fed up
I don't know what to do
I don't know who to trust
Put the gun to my head
I think I′m giving up
But then my mama said

Don′t take my baby boy
Don't take my pride and joy
Don′t take my baby boy
Don't take my pride and joy (Don′t take)

Pavement painted red in the daytime
Underway his fate he's bred for the wayside
Raisins made from babes they′re straight from the grapevine
Momma re-saturates with her faint cries
Oh no effervescent worlds are filled with gunsmoke
Reload triggers reckless don't expect a sec of rest when egos
Reign supreme over morality
Old girl prayed for the battle to cease
Look where it got her now she's on her knees
They chipped away at our brothers with ease
I thank the heavens never greeted defeat

Don′t take my baby boy
Don′t take my pride and joy
Don't take my baby boy
Don′t take my pride and joy (Don't take)


It′s hard to see something you created get carried away
There's nothing I can say
It′s hard to watch them take him away

I'm in the backseat
Told them I don't wanna leave
Don′t have a choice but to watch them as they drive me away

They took him (me) away

Don′t take my baby boy
(Don't take him)
Don′t take my pride and joy
(Don't take him)
Don′t take my baby boy
(Don't take him)
Don′t take my pride and joy (Don't take)

Oh, oh, oh
