| 作词 : Franklin | |
| It takes a whole nation to help me raise this generation | |
| When you look out of the window, tell me what do you see? | |
| If it’s a world without a father then you’re looking at me | |
| It takes a whole nation to help me raise this generation | |
| My respect to the mothers that be holding it down | |
| But it sho’ would be nice to have my daddy around | |
| All I need is one mike, | |
| I know you can see | |
| I’m not a rapper but there are some dudes that are just like me | |
| Every time you took a picture with you and your family | |
| It was only two people when it’s supposed to be three | |
| It was supposed to be me asking why is the sky blue? | |
| When I grow up | |
| I wanna be like you | |
| Yo daddy, can you teach me how to tie my shoes | |
| Can I go with you to work so | |
| I can see what you do? | |
| Let me see what you do, so | |
| I can love my kid too | |
| But you didn’t stick around, was that too much to ask of you? | |
| Too much to get a blueprint, no, too much to show the way, no | |
| That’s the reason why this building is not finished today | |
| We’re lost boys, still we wanna believe that | |
| My daddy’s coming back, he didn’t forget about me | |
| Like a child after school we sit and we wait | |
| I know that you gon’ come, but that was ’78 | |
| It takes a whole nation to help me raise this generation | |
| When you look out of the window, tell me what do you see? | |
| If it’s a world without a father then you’re looking at me | |
| It takes a whole nation to help me raise this generation | |
| My respect to the mothers that be holding it down | |
| But it sho’ would be nice to have my daddy around | |
| They say raising kids, it’s the parent’s responsibility | |
| But it’s a million of y’all and only one of me | |
| What happened to the village? | |
| As far as | |
| I can seeIt’s been burned down by this modern day slavery | |
| For eleven years | |
| I’ve been living here | |
| I’ve seen momma cry more than eleven tears | |
| Watching momma be daddy while he slips away | |
| Does Jesus really hear kids when they pray? | |
| Momma working two jobs, she can’t do it alone | |
| She shouldn’t have to, she didn’t get knocked up on her own | |
| And I know that, baby, momma’s drama brothers is real | |
| But before you close the door don’t forget how it feels, remember | |
| And daddy missed my game, and | |
| I made a touchdown | |
| I won the talent show, but you weren’t around | |
| If a girl breaks my heart, what | |
| I do with the pain? | |
| And one more thing, daddy, can you tell me my name? | |
| It takes a whole nation to help me raise this generation | |
| When you look out of the window, tell me what do you see? | |
| If it’s a world without a father then you’re looking at me | |
| It takes a whole nation to help me raise this generation | |
| My respect to the mothers that be holding it down | |
| But it sho’ would be nice to have my daddy around | |
| Ain’t nothing gonna break me down | |
| Can there nobody take me down | |
| Can there nobody break me down, me down | |
| Ain’t nothing gonna break me down | |
| Can there nobody take me down | |
| Ain’t nothing gonna break me down, me down | |
| Ain’t nothing gonna break me down | |
| Can there nobody take me down | |
| Can there nobody break me down, me down | |
| Ain’t nothing gonna break me down | |
| Can there nobody take me down | |
| Ain’t nothing gonna break me down, me down | |
| It takes a whole nation to help me raise this generation | |
| When you look out of the window, tell me what do you see? | |
| If it’s a world without a father then you’re looking at me | |
| It takes a whole nation to help me raise this generation | |
| My respect to the mothers that be holding it down | |
| But it sho’ would be nice to have my daddy around |
