Title: Take a second to read these lyrics
Post by: joni on Sep 15, 2005, 04:45:37 AM

From Kanye West, a rapper, interesting take on what happens with child support.  The video is really popular now, he's got Jamie Foxx singing with him.

[Verse 2]
18 years, 18 years
She got one of yo kids got you for 18 years
I know somebody paying child support for one of his kids
His baby momma's car and crib is bigger than his
You will see him on TV Any Given Sunday
Win the Superbowl and drive off in a Hyundai
She was spose to buy ya shorty TYCO with ya money
She went to the doctor got lypo with ya money
She walking around looking like Micheal with ya money
Should of got that insured got GEICO for ya moneeey,(money, money)
If you ain't no punk holla We Want Prenup
WE WANT PRENUP!, Yeaah
It's something that you need to have
Cause when she leave yo ass she gone leave with half
18 years, 18 years
And on her 18th birthday he found out it wasn't his

[Chorus]
(She did me wrong)
Now I ain't saying she a gold digger (When I'm Need)
But she ain't messing with no broke niggaz
(She did me wrong)
Now I ain't saying she a gold digger (When I'm need)
but she ain't messing with no broke niggaz
get down girl gone head get down (I gotta leave)
get down girl gone head get down (I gotta leave)
get down girl gone head get down (I gotta leave)
get down girl gone head

... and it pretty much hits the nail on the head.

Unfortunately, I do not know a single politician who listens to rap...

Kent!

Am I the only one that thinks it's funny that a "bad-ass gansta rapper" is crying about needing a *prenup*?  :)

I don't think he is a bad-ass gansta rapper, which has made it difficult to get started in the rapping world as a rapper.

I am pretty sure he is a preppy boy :)

A "bad ass gansta rapper" he is not!  I think that you would be AMAZED at what Kanye West is trying to achieve with his "stardom"  I also think that you would be impressed with what he has been able to call attention too...he has been on national television talking about "gays" and how the word in general is unacceptable.  He has asked his fellow "stars" to stop and think before they rap about the subject or the word in general.  He called Pres. Bush out in the wake of Katrina.  He called him the racist that I personally believe he is and spoke out on the lack of services that Katrina victims were receiving.  He is an activist for "everyday people" This rap was just another reality of what "everyday people" just like us go through everyday. (Just without the pre-nup. ;)...
