I'm talking, mom, I know the situation is personal
But it's something that has to be told
As I was making this beat
You was all I could think about
You heard my voice

Just think, just think...
What if you could just, just blink yourself away?
Just, just wait, just pause for a second
Let me plead my case

It's the late seventies, you seventeen
And having me, that will ruin everything
It's a lot of angels waiting on their wings
You see me in your sleep, so you can't kill your dreams

Three hundred dollars, that's the price of living?
Mommy, I don't like this clinic
Hopefully you'll make the right decision
And don't go though with the knife decision

But it's hard to make the right move when you in high school
Now you gotta work all day and take night school
Hopping on the bus and the rain is pouring
What you want, morning sickness or the sickness of mourning?
Can I live?

I'll always be a part of you
Trust your soul, know it's always true
If I could talk I'd say to you
Can I live?
Can I live?

I'll always be a part of you
Trust your soul, know it's always true
If I could talk I'd say to you
Can I live?
Can I live?

I'm a child of the King, ain't no need to go fear me
And I see the flowing tears, so I know that you hear me
When I move in your womb that's me being scary
'Cuz who knows what my future holds?

The truth be told you ain't told a soul
You ain't even showing, I'm just two months old
Through your clothes try to hide me, deny me
Went up three sizes

Your pride got you lying, saying ain't nothing but a migraine
It ain't surprising you not trying to be in WIC food lines
Your friends look at you funny, but look at you mommy
That's a life inside, take a look at your tummy

What is becoming, Ma? I'm Oprah bound
You can tell he's a star from the ultrasound
Our spirits connected, doors open now,
Nothing but love and respect, thanks for holding it down
She let me live

I'll always be a part of you
Trust your soul, know it's always true
If I could talk I'd say to you
Can I live?
Can I live?

I'll always be a part of you
Trust your soul, know it's always true
If I could talk I'd say to you
Can I live?
Can I live?

It's uplifing for real, y'all
I ain't passing no judgement
Ain't making no decisions
I'm just telling y'all my story

I love life, I love my mother for giving me life
We all need to appreciate life
And a strong woman who had to make a sacrifice

Thanks for listening...
Thanks for listening...
Momma, thanks for listening

[benfica1rox552]

legendary song...

[totallycatholic8]

"$100, is that the price of living?"

[FeralTiganda]

Life begins at conception. As humans we shouldn't be able to choose who lives and dies..

[AmoretteMariani]

The actress that plays his mother is Ashley from The Freash Prince of Bel Air. . . LOL I've seen this video so many times and I just realized that. . .

[Fraplejuice42]

If my wife didn't want my child I wouldn't let her abort it, if we had to we would give him/her up for adoption.... I'm glad we didn't though he is now 9 and I don't know what my life would be without him

[Fraplejuice42]

Totally agree with this vid we probably have already kill off the person who would discover a cure for cancer because of abortion. And yes I am a guy

[42quadsystems]

Lolololol you all should abort your children and decrease the surplus population

[ceya22005]

amen to this video

[degeso15]

Both of my parents were scheduled to be aborted, but their moms decided to have them and put them up for adoption. I'm so happy my grandparents chose life. <3

[degeso15]

You're right, there are many reasons for having an abortion, and no one should be condemned for it. However, statistics show that women who have abortions are more likely to develop suicidal thoughts, depression, anxiety and substance abuse and planned parent hood does not tell women this. After abortions, however there are places like project rachel who help women who had an abortion and are suffering from these symptoms. There are people who want to love and cherish these women, don't forget.

Check out 3:19 in the video before you start telling other women what to do. Nick Cannon himself says "ain't passing no judgements, ain't making no decisions". That situation was what was right for him and his mother. Not all of us are as lucky as the singer and his mother. Women who get abortions do not do so lightly and should stop being condemned for doing so.
