(feat. Mary J. Blige)


[Intro: Wyclef Jean]

I want to apologize for makin you wait so long for the sequel

Wyclef, Mary J., this one called What About the Baby

You ever been like



[Verse One: Wyclef]

Let me talk to my daughter

Daughter this is your poppa

I know it's been a while

We haven't talked



[Mary J. Blige]

But daddy you've been gone

And me and mom have been all alone

It's been a struggle and you weren't there for us

He say



[Wyclef Jean]

Okay, when I called you

She wouldn't put you on the phone

She call the police, restrainin order

50 feet, from my home

I tried, I ain't lyin

It's so sad that the heavens cryin, AYY~!

Once a boy and twice a man

I'm just tryin to do the best I can

Give me a chance girl



[Chorus: Wyclef]

A grown man ain't supposed to cry

So why does water fill my eyes when I hear your voice

Everything gon' be alright

Baby girl I'm by your side, dry your eyes



[Verse Two: Mary J. Blige]

Let's talk this over

Now see I heard everything that you told her

But it's gon' take more than words

for you to be a father, uh-huh

Responsibilities of a man

Like stayin faithful just for the fam'

What if she knew that you chose

another over her mother, aowwww!

So you called her

and I wouldn't put her on the phone

I called the police yes, restrainin order

50 feet, from my home

I tried, I ain't lyin

It's so sad that the heavens are cryin, yeahhh

Once a girl, twice of a man

And I'ma try to do the best I can

I can't give you a chance noooo



[Chorus: Blige]

A woman ain't supposed to cry

So why don't you just wipe your eyes, dry your eyes

You've learned a house is not a home

When you're living all alone, and you want back home



[Verse Three: Wyclef]

WAIT A MINUTE GIRL! You're my joy, happiness that you bring

Turn the fall back to spring girl, you're my bling

You a hip-hop song I heard for the first time time

Studied all the words to the rhyme

You're my life, without you there's no sun, there's no moon

There's no stars, shinin in the ni-iight



[Mary J. Blige]

But if I give you a chance, would you show me you care

Be a man, no matter what the circumstances

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOW~!



[Chorus: Wyclef]

A grown man ain't supposed to cry

So why does water fill my eyes when I hear your voice



[Blige]

You've learned a house is not a home

When you're living all alone, and you want back home



[Chorus: Wyclef]

A grown man ain't supposed to cry

So why does water fill my eyes when I hear your voice

(What about the baby~! What about the baby~!)

Everything gon' be alright

Baby girl I'm by your side, I apologize!

I cry, and I cry, I cry
