[Verse 1] I see why they call this 'The Trap' Can never leave, they won't give it back Why the street have the fiends lookin' bad? Who gon' raise the kids if daddy ain't comin' back? I wonder why the women hurt so bad Tired of the pain, too numb to get mad She don't trust a soul, so she bringin' out the gat You said, "I was gone for good," why the hell I come back? I wonder why these kids feel like this Havin' children of their own, but still a little kid They don't want the help, 'cause it's embarrassing But they still love their family and friends [Chorus] When it's your turn, I pray you be a good parent I pray you give your child all the time that you never had When it's your turn, I hope you love 'em like you wanted to be loved I hope you hug 'em like you wanted to be hugged [Verse 2] Why we still fightin' over dumb stuff? How they throwin' stones when they all in a glass hut? They say, "Go hard," I say, "That ain't hard enough" You got power, why the hell you won't give it up? I'm sick of the same old love Same thing, it's a mess, every day is rough You don't know what it's like to be in love You don't know what it's like to be in love [Chorus] When it's your turn, I pray you be a good parent I pray you give your child all the time that you never had When it's your turn, I hope you love 'em like you wanted to be loved I hope you hug 'em like you wanted to be hugged When it's your turn, I pray you be a good parent I pray you give your child all the time that you never had When it's your turn, I hope you love 'em like you wanted to be loved I hope you hug 'em like you wanted to be hugged
