Lyrics and translation
Original
Oh, yeah
Oh, oh
Have you heard the news today?
They say a little 14-year-old little girl had a baby on the way
Too much for her little mind to bear
And that type of news, to her mama, she cannot spare
Toilet Tisha, damn, we miss you
Toilet Tisha is the issue
We miss you, Toilet Tisha
We miss you
Tisha? Tisha!
Tisha, girl, what you doing?
Oh my god, oh, Tisha, Tisha!
Ah, no! Tisha! Tisha!
Ah, no! Not my baby!
Ah, no! I love you, no!
Ah, good Lord, ah!
Don't go away
Don't you dare go away from me, girl, I can help you
Don't go away
Don't you dare leave
Don't go away
It ain't a thang
Don't go away
Five thousand, one hundred, ten days is a short period of time
A mere 14 years on this precious mother Earth
You see, Tisha had issues
And her decision making skills were still in its early stages
You know what I'm talking about?
Therefore, she could not properly handle a blessing in which
She thought to be an obstacle, in her path to adulthood, pause
Just like a brother with a thousand pauses
Should I? Shouldn't I? I can't, I have to
Mama will never see me the same
Daddy and Big Mama, I know all of them gonna be ashamed of me
Are just a few thoughts racing through her cranium
As she sits on top of the pale, cold porcelain seat in the rear of the house
The unthinkable moments away from becoming reality, sadly with no clue
And no way of expressing her feelings to her mama or anybody else in her life
Tisha done came to the crossroads, and now she got to choose
Fatality
Fatality
Fatality
Fatality
