Baby Mama

Fantasia · Free Yourself [2004]

[chorus]

B-A-B-Y M-A-M-A

This goes out to all my baby mamas

This goes out to all my baby mamas

B-A-B-Y M-A-M-A

This goes out to all my baby mamas

I got love for all my baby mamas



It's about time we had our own song

Don't know what took so long

Cause nowadays it's like a badge of honor

To be a baby mama

I see ya payin' ya bills

I see ya workin' ya job

I see ya goin' to school

And girl I know it's hard

And even though ya fed up

With makin' beds up

Girl, keep ya head up

All my



[chorus]

B-A-B-Y M-A-M-A

This goes out to all my baby mamas

This goes out to all my baby mamas

B-A-B-Y M-A-M-A

This goes out to all my baby mamas

I got love for all my baby mamas



I see you get that support check in the mail

You open it and you're like, "What the Hell?"

You say, "This ain't even half of daycare"

Sayin' to yourself, "This shit ain't fair"

And all my girls who don't get no help

Who gotta do everything by yourself

Remember, what don't kill you can only make you stronger

My baby mama



[chorus]

B-A-B-Y M-A-M-A

This goes out to all my baby mamas

This goes out to all my baby mamas

B-A-B-Y M-A-M-A

This goes out to all my baby mamas

I got love for all my baby mamas



Cause we the backbone (of the hood)

I always knew that (that we could)

We can go anywhere, we can do anything

I know we can make it if we dream

And I think it should be a holiday

For single mothers, tryin' to make a way

But until then, here is your song

Show love to my....



[chorus]

B-A-B-Y M-A-M-A

This goes out to all my baby mamas

This goes out to all my baby mamas

B-A-B-Y M-A-M-A

This goes out to all my baby mamas

I got love for all my baby mamas
