“It ain’t gotta be for play. I’on understand why you crying. What you want? I’m in this long-term. I told you ain’t gone be no boyfriends and stepdaddies; not after what niggas like that did to me and my sister and even Melanie’s stupid ass. I’m gon’ protect you and my seed. If you like being a mama, I’ll give you more babies and I’ma be there. I’ma take care of you. You ain’t gon’ want for nothing. Not financially, not physically…”
