The Golden Child

Lyrics

[Intro: Papoose] Yeah, uh This for my baby (Baby) Golden child (Golden child) Haha (Haha) [Verse 1: Papoose] It was love at first sight, when I met your mom I was open While she the queen, I'm supposed to bow Pretty face with a potent smile We planned to have you back then but tragedy slowed us down 'Cause she went away for a while when your dad had to hold it down I questioned God, like, "Why is this happenin'?" You know it's 'bout everything that happen Happen for a reason, I know it now We argue what we gon' name you, I feel that's over now It don't matter to me, 'cause to me your name is the golden child The love we share, they ain't build it, that's why they can't destroy Truthfully, I understand the ploy, this is something they can't avoid I sing to your mama stomach, she say, "I am annoyed Won't you shut up and just go to sleep? I don't want to hear it, boy" She always say I'm annoyin' but she just paranoid She afraid I'ma spoil you, you loudly, she hate to hear the noise The world is yours and I promise don't gotta share your toys I won't let you cry unless the tears you cryin' are tears of joy [Chorus: Papoose & Angelica Villa] I heard your heartbeat, I heard your heartbeat I cannot wait to strap you down in that carseat I heard your heartbeat, I heard your heartbeat I can't wait to make your bottle, I'm you, you are me I heard your heartbeat, I heard your heartbeat I cannot wait to strap you down in that carseat I heard your heartbeat, I heard your heartbeat I can't wait to make your bottle, I'm you, you are me [Verse 2: Remy Ma] They said first comes love and then comes marriage Never mentioned the devastation of having a miscarriage I was torn up, broken down, felt less than a woman But all that pain was erased when the doctor said you was comin' Me and daddy was so happy, this is all we ever wanted So protective of your presence, I was scared to show my stomach The rumors, had to dub it, said pregnancy's supposed to change you My belly, your dad would rub it, he was hatin' on my angles 'Cause in pictures, had 'em down pat, from the front it looked all flat From the side you was pokin' but never could I be called fat Still fit all my clothes and you had me glowin' I was overjoyed, ain't care what I was havin', 'cause girl or boy I heard your heartbeat, I heard your heartbeat Instantly knew me, you, and daddy would never part, please All my ladies, listen up, never think of givin' up Docs said that we couldn't, but look what God has given us [Chorus: Papoose & Angelica Villa] I heard your heartbeat, I heard your heartbeat I cannot wait to strap you down in that carseat I heard your heartbeat, I heard your heartbeat I can't wait to make your bottle, I'm you, you are me I heard your heartbeat, I heard your heartbeat I cannot wait to strap you down in that carseat I heard your heartbeat, I heard your heartbeat I can't wait to make your bottle, I'm you, you are me [Verse 3: Papoose] Take you to school every day, before you eat, say your grace You can achieve anything, marathon, not a race Tell the truth, never lie, the limit is in the sky When you talk to a person, make sure you look in they eye I'm sorry the world we live in is not a place much better Sorry that you was born into the Donald Trump era Thankful that I'm a king, thankful your mom is a queen You was born under marriage, black love is supreme Always respect your elders, say thank you and please Your grandmother gon' make you some macaroni and cheese I tatted you on my arm, some people say it ain't smart I put you on my left arm 'cause that's more close to my heart I'm excited to meet you, my eyes excited to see you Your mom got milk in her breasts, she excited to feed you I would never mislead you, misguide or deceive you My fists are here to protect you, my mind excited to teach you [Chorus: Papoose & Angelica Villa] I heard your heartbeat, I heard your heartbeat I cannot wait to strap you down in that carseat I heard your heartbeat, I heard your heartbeat I can't wait to make your bottle, I'm you, you are me I heard your heartbeat, I heard your heartbeat I cannot wait to strap you down in that carseat I heard your heartbeat, I heard your heartbeat I can't wait to make your bottle, I'm you, you are me
