She was with child and didn't seem to care
pretty brown eyes and a long black hair
she loved to smoke on the pipe everyday
She would get the crack any kind of way
The story goes. she was smokin' in a crack house
She didnt care when across her foot ran a mouse
Then suddenly she felt the pain of birth
She dropped her pipe, she didnt know what was worse
Would she stop or maybe scream
Oh no, she wanted to finish what was on her screen
She left the room with pipe in hand
thinking this wasnt part of the plan
Her water broke, it flooded the floor
And still she asked if she could have some more
The others heard the baby's cry
then silence... did the baby die?
She came out. She didn't want to quit
She asked someone for a hit
The police burst through the door
She was bleeding lying on the floor
A policeman heard a faint cry that was very near
The baby was alive the policeman shed some tears
The baby girl lay in the dirty sink
How could this happen, was all he could think
The mother died the next day
At the grave her mother prayed for grandaughter to have a better day
She looked into the baby's big brown eyes
Why did she do it? Could someone tell me? WHY??!!??
