Love Child
by Grits

Album: 7

It's a sadder day than last Saturday,
Can you help Lipo suck all my fat away?
Come and see, dig my steel between you and me,
Insecure feeling, obscure a lot of times unsure,
Rapper spit it, rapid-fire buck 'cause I'm stuck in the muck and the mire,
Latch on anything, going up to be higher,
That's ferocious, outlandish, atrocious, that I'm a mistake,
And this is the closest I'll ever be to reaching or attaining my goal,
That contract I'm breaching, maintain control,
Like buff singers who swole,
Slowly crawling outta rabbit hole, coming for your soul,
Now I see it, destiny and purpose,
Hear a small still voice saying, "Trust me, don't be nervous"
Fill my pocket with the ten percent, head to Sunday service,
Stop the swirl of my tilt-a-whirl, get it girl.

Lovechild, lovechild,
You'll never know how much I love, child,
Lovechild, you need to slow your world awhile child, wild child,
And get to know about this love, child,
Lovechild, lovechild,
Lovechild, lovechild,
You'll never know how much I love, child,
Lovechild, you need to slow your world awhile child, wild child,
And get to know about this love, child,
Lovechild, lovechild.

Well, it's a different day, and this particular day I was thinking 'bout life, and the part I play,
My purpose man feeling worthless,
And if parenthood really was a part of the plan,
'Cause the way I see, I wasn't meant to be; just a great awake in a love mistake,
So the price was paid and a life was made, then a wife betrayed with a son to raise,
Foundation laid for the wrong influence,
Path directed by a strong influence,
Running wild, scarred child, headed upstate for the pen now,
Now I'm grown with kids of my own, and I gotta do right what the grans did wrong,
Now I'm in a battle for my soul control, trying to get back everything they stole.

Lovechild, lovechild,
You'll never know how much I love, child,
Lovechild, you need to slow your world awhile child, wild child,
And get to know about this love, child,
Lovechild, lovechild,
Lovechild, lovechild,
You'll never know how much I love, child,
Lovechild, you need to slow your world awhile child, wild child,
And get to know about this love, child,
Lovechild, lovechild.

Lovechild, lovechild,
You'll never know how much I love, child,
Lovechild, you need to slow your world awhile child, wild child,
And get to know about this love, child,
Lovechild,
Lovechild, lovechild,
You'll never know how much I love, child,
Lovechild, you need to slow your world awhile child, wild child,
And get to know about this love, child,
Lovechild, lovechild.
