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

Mother at 16 and still I rise, no abortion would have cleared or changed my destiny it would have made me a mommy to a deceased baby... Please Think about what you do! ~Keep Doin what you do Nick really enjoyed this! #Blessings & 1luva~

[anthony delarosa]

I'm 15 and found out I wax going ti be aborted by my mom I'm thankful for the life she gave me and my woundeful stuff I have I thank her every day for life

[shy69iskrazy2]

Um...Hate to burst your bubble, but abortion for the sake of saving the mother's life due to complications is 1%-4% of all abortions....We have killed 50 million since Roe V Wade. What about all of the innocent babies?

[Adam Jones]

Just telling his story. Straight Heater!

[dublinjake]

women with cervical infections. The process to cure requires killing the child (on occasion). Governments that do not allow abortions and force their laws upon people not even of the same religion kill people in an attempt to save a foetus are foolish. Women have died in childbirth as they were unable to get crucial treatment to help them survive, because it required an abortion. I believe that abortions generally shouldn't be allowed, but your rigid pro-life views are cruel and inconsiderate.

[togoodtobemaggie]

Rubbish Jake, any treatment that to save a womans life is not an abortion, for instance when they deliver a baby earlier when the mother has pre eclampsia they also do everything to save the baby. Dr Sam Coulter Smyth from the rotunda has stated this . How come you dont mention the women who die from abortion? Like Jessie May Barlow who died in december, I suppose it is because you cant use her to further your cause.

[dublinjake]

Pro-Choice! All of you pro-lifers, are killing seriously ill women. Think about that next time you condemn someone who had an abortion.

[Rashell009]

Thank you ♥

[psyche6]

So now we judge the right of an innocent person to live based on the potential value that they might have, how productive they might be? For one thing, you can never know with certainty what the outcome of their life might be - there's plenty of great people that came out of difficult circumstances. And would any person agree to their own murder based on external circumstances?...I think not.

[psyche6]

In a time where so many women still believe abortion will solve their problems but are unaware of the damage it causes, I applaud your realization of this and encourage you - no matter how hard it may be at times, I know your child gives you joy...and he/she is grateful for the choice for life you made.

[psyche6]

I'm so happy for the choice you made - I'm sure it has given you many blessings, and I know your child is grateful for the gift of life that you gave him/her.

[psyche6]

It takes so much strength and courage to do what you did, and I just wanted to thank you for what you did - not only the right thing to do, but it provides an amazing example for choosing life for these innocent babies. It was an incredible gift of love to your baby, and I know he/she will always be thankful for what you did.
