[Verse 1: Briggs]

Kids having kids, sixteen with one in on her hip

And the baby daddy say it ain't his

He won't buy shit, the only bottle he gets is his

He's in and out she's crying, no time for this

Spitting image was with her at the beginning

But he ain't thinking between the drinking and sinning

And he smack her if she don't listen, smack her if she ain't with him

"She's on smack anyway," but the pain is different

She's looking for that next score next door

With the spike in her arm, she's passed out on the floor

But now that baby can crawl, pretty soon he's gon' walk

And pretty soon he gon' talk and get him self up out of there

Her parents don't want nothing to do with her

Her man left and he reckons he's through with her

And the drugs are all but consuming her

Welfare still pursuing her

'Cause she's sucking Jesus juice until the foetus is due

Another baby, another daddy, and she don't know who

And she's back from the clinic and she's got that news

She's got that germ, she'll be leaving soon

[Chorus: Dylan Smith]

Now I don't know much, but I know you should listen

This cycle is vicious, Let me give you some wisdom

If ya not looking after ya children, tell me who is then?

'Cause they're gonna grow up, they'll wanna know what

Where you were and why, if you like it or not

If you like it or not, yeah

[Verse 2: Briggs]

He started out on petty crime

Now he's sneaking in the window with a fishing knife

No rest in his wicked life, out for the second time

And by the looks of things, pretty soon he'll be going back in

You see his dad wasn't there, his mum was, but wasn't

He had nothing, so his friends became his cousins

Looking for that loving that he never got, so fuck 'em

A cold little brother, wouldn't hesitate to gut 'em

Got a girl on the side, and she's a junkie alright

But she's got a roof and a bed and he can spend the night

But she's on the spike, he can't stand the sight

But she's not his problem, so he stands aside

But she's went and had a baby and she's saying it's his

But he's saying, "She's a slut, that could be anyones kid

She was fucking anyone just to get that fix

And there ain't no way I'm getting caught up in this."

So he split, he bounce, said, "Fuck it I'm out"

She got up in his face, she got a smack in her mouth

And he's leaving her now, he's getting out of that house

But as he's slamming that door he's leaving more than a town

[Chorus: Dylan Smith]

Now I don't know much, but I know you should listen

This cycle is vicious, Let me give you some wisdom

If ya not looking after ya children, tell me who is then?

'Cause they're gonna grow up, they'll wanna know what

Where you were and why, if you like it or not

If you like it or not (Yeah)

[Verse 3: Briggs]

His dad didn't want him, mum didn't know how to love him

Only thing he knew of her was her coffin

And his dad was a crim', that's all he knew about him

Fending for himself; he had to grow up quick

So he did, and now he's slick with his hands

He's in the shop thieving

He get whatever he can down the front of his pants

Yeah, he's getting better at this

He's still only a kid, Sucking back on a Vic'

He's been picked up more than a few times

Racked up offences, soon he gon' do time

He's banned from most the shops

Cops say he's just like his pops

They knew him better than him

So they're probably not wrong

Cursing his dad, "I'll never be like that

I'd never up and go and just leave my lad

Was it mum's fault?, or something wrong with me?

Or he just didn't feel the need to feed his seed?

I'm sixteen, wonder if he's thinking of me?"

With a tear in his eye; he ain't as tough as he seems

But it's just like this movie, he's stuck in a scene

He sees no way out, He's got nowhere to be

He's got nothing to lose, he's got himself to blame

And he likes your shoes and he's half your age

And he's a little motherfucker, you just palm him off

But he's stuck it in your chest and your heart it stops

[Chorus: Dylan Smith]

Now I don't know much, but I know you should listen

This cycle is vicious, Let me give you some wisdom

If ya not looking after ya children, tell me who is then?

'Cause they're gonna grow up, they'll wanna know what

Where you were and why, if you like it or not

If you like it or not, yeah
