[Verse 1]
Your mama said, "clean out your head boy, don't lay nothing on my child"
Your friends they said, "Your heads in a noose boy lay some boogie on our minds"

[Chorus]
And we stood like the rapids and I was like a new born child

[Verse 2]
Your father said, "clean out your head boy, go and kick cans along the street"
Your father said "clean out your toes rose and go and lick some uncooked meat'

[Chorus]
And we stood like the rapids and I was like a new born child, whoa! Yeah!
And we stood like the rapids and. Was like a new born child

[Verse 3]
Your mama said, "my babe is not free son, but I'm loose about midnight'
Your father said, "Your sisters a groove boy, what I said it just ain't right"

[Chorus]
But then I stood like the rapids and I was like a new born child
Won't you tell me why?
