Baby Girl by Mfon


Her father walked away in the coldness of the night
She knew what he did wasn't right
He left her mother heartbroken and crying
After so many years of trying
Now baby girl is a teen 
And she doesn't know what love means
Out of sight is out of mind
He left her side now she has lost her mind
Her only father figure
Left a lot for her to figure
Momma hardly comes back home
When she does, she's troublesome
Yelling out curses like she writes in cursive
She's always on the street
Selling her body like its Wall Street
Smoking like she's a chimney
Leaving baby girl with a broken heart that can't be replaced like a kidney
She's battered like flour
Crying on the floor
Wondering like Stevie Wonders
Where is the love...
Baby girl, like an answering machine 
I have an answer
To all the questions left in voice mail
Yes there is love right here in scriptures
Painted in pictures
Male born of a female
Boy who became a man
He died so we could live
He lost so we could have
He was bruised
So we could cruise
He is love  personified
He is love identified
His love is unconditional
He doesn't go off like an air conditioner
He sees you as though he's a Seer
He seeks you like Legend of the Seeker
Let him be your pillow that you may cry on him
Let him be your tissue that he may dry your eyes
Let him be your Lord that he may take off your load
Dad must have been an ass
But Jesus triumphantly rode on an ass
So we could say alas!
His Love has come to last.
