New Parenting

Yeah Listen up, this one's for you You know who you are Pay attention Parents checked out Cash thrown in the air You call that love, nah, you ain't even there Teachers step in, fix what you let break We raise your kids while you make mistakes Nannies, chauffeurs, run the whole show They see a child more than you'll ever know Mama sips tea, runs her mouth But never once checks the house You were doing it wrong Passing the blame, but what's going on You were doing it wrong Teaching them silence while we teach them strong Who's raising your kid? Not you, not you Who's showing them love? Not you, not you You're too busy flexing, too blind to see Your child's reflection ain't family You got one, maybe two, maybe three But we've been at this for years, can't you see Your kid don't learn, you point the finger But at home they're taught to do nothing, it just lingers Bless the kids who learn from their nannies While you blame the teachers for their shortcomings, uncanny Sorry for those who mimic their mother's lies What do you expect when that's all they've been taught? No surprise Dad's grinding away while mom's living the lie Flaunting fake lives while their kid's asking why No bedtime stories, no heart-to-heart talks Just shopping sprees while your kid's out of walks Throw them in sports, throw them in dance Then blame the system when they don't stand a chance You were doing it wrong Wake up, this isn't just a song You were doing it wrong You left them alone, now they're playing along Who's raising your kid? Not you, not you Who's showing them love? Not you, not you While we teach respect, you teach disgrace They mirror your gossip right to your face Money don't raise them, love do School don't parent, that's on you Talk all you want, but facts don't lie Your child's future, it's do or die Yeah, yeah You were doing it wrong Wake up, this isn't just a song You were doing it wrong You left them alone, now they're playing along Who's raising your kid? Not you, not you Who's showing them love? Not you, not you You blame the world, but look inside You left them to fight, now they gotta survive Yeah You were doing it wrong Fix it Before it's too late Too late Too late Too late Too late Too late Sure it's not too late.
