Basically, this is a song about an (I’m guessing) unwed couple who got pregnant. I am guessing they are unmarried because of the (lovely) lyric: “Didn’t have to keep it
Wouldn’t put ya through it You could have swept it from your life But you wouldn’t do it.”
I could be wrong, but I am interpreting this as we aren’t married (which wasn’t acceptable back in the day) and yet you have decided to not get an abortion.
I think this song could be re-written and produced today as a rap song, something like this:
{Paul}
Yo bitch, you be pregnant
I know you love me
That’s the way I make you
Think of me x3
{Both}
A yummy mummy
Baby in my tummy
(Fluther version – use Babby for baby)
{Paul}
You be beautiful now
Big like a cow
{Paul} I’d leave the next part – it could’ve been written today:
The need inside you
I see it showin’
Whoa, the seed inside ya
Baby, do you feel it growin’
Are you happy you know it
That you’re
{Odia)
You not in jail
I look like a whale
{Paul}
You coulda lost it
Tossed it
Scraped it
Shaked it
But you keep it
Means you love me, yo
;-)
