MY BABY, MY MOMMA, MY GOD
© Breeze Vincinz
I don’t care what U say about me as long as U keep lies away from my baby, my momma, my God.
I’m different, they know. So don’t tell about things that U don’t know 2 my baby, my momma, my God.
My God is an African lady. Ruth’s my momma & Kaelyn's my baby. U know my name but not all of my game. I’ll tell u the rules if U’ll repeat them the same
I have made some mistakes and I don’t need nobody 2 bring up false pain 2 my baby, my momma, or my God.
3 things most important 2 me R Mother Ruth, Mother Africa and Kaelyn, my Baby. You can lie about my past and about my name but my three rings of life will still be the same.
Sometimes, I feel so bad but then I stop and remember about what I have in my baby, my momma, and my God.
Say what U will, do what U want. As long as my business U don’t flaunt 4 my baby, my momma, my God.
My baby, my momma, my God
Don’t say things that U don’t know 2 my baby, my momma, or my God.
This poem is one of the first poems I have ever written, and it was written with a strong sense of combating homophobia. At the time, coming out and being accused of being gay was the absolute worst thing that could possibly happen, and I was dealing with some intense internal homophobia. I was thinking about what really, truly matters to me and who would stick by me no matter what. The intention of this poem has gone through several versions, with “My Baby” vacillating between my best friend (Tony), my first (Vernon), my cousin (Cristyn... who I didn’t write a poem for here, but she knows I love her), to this last and final version with Cailynn, Cristyn’s daughter. Also, the “don’t say things about me” line isn’t really about being gay anymore. I mean... I've done so many worse things than doing dudes. But whatever I’ve done... my baby, my momma, and my God will be fine. It also should be noted that when I wrote these lyrics, I intended for the cadence to be in line with the song “Good Times” by Phoebe Snow (originally written by Sam Cooke). But AI did okay. I like this version.
