Don't take my baby boy Don't take my pride and joy Don't take my baby boy Don't take my pride and joy (Don't take) Mama I'm sorry but I been going through it The only thing helping is me making this music But that ain't enough One day I know imma lose it Make it a reality I'm dreaming lucid Codeine in my cup Drugs take the pain away Guess that's what they say Wishing I would fade away Can you pray for me I need help yes I do Pills numb the pain if only you knew What I be going through, I don't be showing you all the scars that's on my soul Mixing the trees and pills, can you please grab the wheel cuz I might just lose control I need a shoulder to cry on to make me feel better But it's cold in this world I think I'm getting fed up I don't know what to do I don't know who to trust Put the gun to my head I think I'm giving up But then my mama said Don't take my baby boy Don't take my pride and joy Don't take my baby boy Don't take my pride and joy (Don't take) Pavement painted red in the daytime Underway his fate he's bred for the wayside Raisins made from babes they're straight from the grapevine Momma re-saturates with her faint cries Oh no effervescent worlds are filled with gunsmoke Reload triggers reckless don't expect a sec of rest when egos Reign supreme over morality Old girl prayed for the battle to cease Look where it got her now she's on her knees They chipped away at our brothers with ease I thank the heavens never greeted defeat Don't take my baby boy Don't take my pride and joy Don't take my baby boy Don't take my pride and joy (Don't take) It's hard to see something you created get carried away There's nothing I can say It's hard to watch them take him away I'm in the backseat Told them I don't wanna leave Don't have a choice but to watch them as they drive me away They took him (me) away Don't take my baby boy (Don't take him) Don't take my pride and joy (Don't take him) Don't take my baby boy (Don't take him) Don't take my pride and joy (Don't take) Oh, oh, oh
