It Takes a Village
Bizzle

[verse 1 - Jin]

I still remember what she said to me

I check the test it's positive I'm pregnant B

Wish I was around more during her pregnancy

Ain't no accident though we planned this legacy

So much love for this child man he got it good

Got my act together like any loving father would

All it took was a touch used to never care

Now I've never cared this much welcome to father hood

Yeah things will never be the same

Safe to say I was blind when I came into the game

Saw the riches and the fame not here just to entertain

God gave me a chance it's more than just a name

All the damage I've done can it be redeemed

For the sake of my son is what I often dream

To you I'm just a rapper that's daddy on the screen

Today he's just an infant tomorrow he's a teen


[hook - V. Rose]

In the blink of an eye

They crawl they walk they run

They hurt they heal they smile

They could be yours or mine

It takes a village to raise a King

It take a village to raise a Queen

But the village is you and me

Yeah the village is you and me


[verse 2 - Bizzle]

I never knew a la la la a love like this

Lord you love me more than I love my kids

And I die for 'em I kill for 'em if the village

Get hot then christian or not I'd pop steel for 'em

But what are we to do when the village dishing help stop

Caring and they all start fending for they self


And one'll poison us all to get a little wealth

Feel like everybody living in this village is for sale

Murder the next man for the ticket outta hell

For that Rolex band see the pigeon on a scale

And sell it to a sucka that you don't see is a brother

Or pitch it to a fiend that you don't see is a mother

And kids on the block see you looking like you winning

Cause they know what you whip in and they know how you did it

And if it ain't your problem homie who's is it

The parents yep and the village


[hook]


[verse 3 - Sho Baraka]

My son never picked the flower before it blooms

Evacuate the room before you hear the tick boom

It's better to wonder in the desert then to live in pharaohs tomb

Cause out the womb they just teach to get wealth and consume

Wear the jewels don't let the jewels wear you

Down a thorn makes a more beautiful crown

Listen never let a title define your purpose

Reverse it we need more Kings to live like servants

Always show proper respect to your leaders

Only bow down to Jesus keep your eye on Cesar

Cause they live backwards so we live forward

We live off the verses even after the chorus

Get it that means stick to the book

A man who earns and never gives is a sophisticated crook

Yeah keep the words from the chief

The lion has come the village it desires to eat


[hook]
