Involved

Knew when I met you my intentions was no strings attached
I never would've thought after that night you'd ever need me back
At least not for the reason you did, cuz now you on the phone panicking talking bout it's a kid
And now I'm wondering how 2 nights transformed into a new life and it's crazy
How I know I'll never do right by this lady, in my head saying she stupid thinking we keeping this baby
In reality I wouldn't commit even if you payed me, unfortunate but it's truthful
Hope you ain't getting used to seeing me around, I never been the type to ever let a woman hold me down
Another sad truth but you gone have to deal
A victim of a man who would fuck you then say fuck how you feel but let's be real
You knew it wasn't no love involved, so don't be mad at me for ducking every telephone call
I know I'm wrong but in reality we ain't ready for a kid of our own what's this talk about you can't take a life
Girl we too grown to not consider possibilities, too much responsibility comes with a child
And we still got a couple years of being wild, so slow it down think before we make this decision
Can guarantee that we ain't ready for children
And if you are, are you willing to put your life on pause
Don't think we're ready for this shit a brand new life gone cause
A lot of stress for you I prolly shouldn't have got involved, know it's a mess for you
Wish nothing but the best should this be my last time addressing you

Cuz we ain't never done nothing like this before
And baby me I still need a little time for the growth
But girl I see your frustration and understand how you feel but we ain't ready I'm just keeping it real, shit
Cuz we ain't never done nothing like this before
And baby me I still need a little time for the growth
But girl I see your frustration and understand how you feel but we ain't ready I'm just keeping it real, shit

So lately I been thinking over this shit, maybe I could come over and sit
For a while, trynna do right while she's a child
The way it's meant to, don't put her through the same shit that you went through
Met your pops when you were 20 everyday I know it hits you how it hits me
Ain't meet my pops till the death of my brother, to this day resent my mother
So I'm knowing that you get me
What's gone happen when she's older and she asks about me
Or when I die and she resents you cuz she hadn't found me
And this ain't no guilt trip, but when you busy who gone chaperone the field trips? and girl that's real shit
Done seen it all, or what about when they in class doing the Father's Day cards
She fighting tears feeling she gotta stay hard
Cuz she never had the family she dreamed of, feel like we could avoid this situation if we teamed up
For the sake of her future, but she's a child and when you disrespect my name you confuse her
Been seeking contact for a minute so don't call me a loser or a deadbeat
Could be the greatest father if you let me
But every time I try the only thing I get is dial tones, just wanna be around to see my baby reach her milestones
It'll be a whole lot easier if you pick up the damn phone, shit
Uh fuck, this like the 50th message so I mean
Hit me back when you get this
But Ima just sip a little something until you do
