Contractions
LeJuan McAliley 1975 (NC)
Today I woke up to a noise,had to go and check my boo
Had to see if there was something that she needed me to do
Said these pains are getting more and more extreme and it’s
Making me sick,won't be long before she has to deliver it
First came to mind,I had to call,911 but no one would answer the phone at all
Seems strange that no one would there, please answer it
It's almost time for my kid,yes my kid
She's having some contractions
Just when I thought that it would be ok she pulled my arm,said this baby's coming today
She's having some contractions
Man I'm lost, and this is my first baby too, I guess I got to get ready, look at my expression
Oh,you can't see my expression that right ,unless I show you a photo when I type
My bad though,now I've got go cause my boo is really going through some pain with these contractions.
