Baby Boy Lyrics

Baby Boy lyrics

He threw it all away

But that's not the way he's seeing it

He picked a hell of a road to go his own way

He took a shortcut through a dead end to find a better place

He turned a hard life's last chance into amazing grace



It was a cold day

He had a hot night

With a head full of this

And a soul needing that

And now you can't go back



From your cocoon you can turn into a butterfly

Oh, but only once

Watch it fly on by, bound for the brightest day

Is there glory in his story or will he just fade away?

Bold be the move he made but taken was the price he paid



It was a cold day

He had a hot night

With a head full of this

And a soul needing that

And now you can't go back



Desperate for a lullaby

Baby boy, you made your mama cry

She said, "You lie"

She said, "You lie"



God save my baby boy

My baby boy

My baby boy

My baby boy



It was a cold day

He had a hot night

With a head full of this

And a soul needing that

And now you can't go back



It was a cold day

He had a hot night

With a head full of this

And a soul needing that

And now you can't go back

You can't go back, you can't go back
