Title: I’ll Die for You
Artist: Havanna

If I could stop and think about my city living in stress
And how I’m caught up in the struggle steady gasping for breath
Seconds guess to death life is heavy steady trying to rest
Coming home to see my son now I’m feeling refreshed
The city full of flames I wish it would change for my son
Looking in his eyes trying to calm the flames as he runs
Inside my arms here’s the brightest smile soon as he comes
Purified since birth, steady gaze at the sun
Happiness, cause I made it when we had no fun
While abortion was an option still second to none
Cried unemployed asked God what should I do
Baby father turning mad cause the pressure was new
An angel by surprise help me raise him gentleman wise
Keep him from the streets of Dade County screaming with cries
And baby boy your more then just a blessing from the sky
You’re my everything a blessing in disguise

Chorus
I’d die for ya my baby
But I will live my life for ya sweet baby
I’d die for ya my baby
But I will life my life for ya sweet baby


I hear you say mommy words that can brighten the day
If I could keep you from evils steady fight when I pray
I’d reminisce your first cry fighting daddy away
But it was you tryin to talk like you knew what to say
Times are getting worse no one will praise their kids
I’m in the game where it’s all about the life that you live
First steps made me realize how precious you were
Please don’t make mistakes like your mom left in a blur

And all the drama that occurred when you kept me up
Late nights steady crying until I swept you up
And now I know my purpose must be to keep me alive
If I didn’t have you baby it would eat me inside

But alive make it happen cause your future is my life
And I would give my life for you, gotta sacrifice
When you were born baby boy you were a blessing from sky
Kiami love mommy till the day I die

Chorus
