Who says a baby can’t have a baby

Society says it’s possible

Television makes it sound cool

And shows make it seem like it’s just natural

So that makes it okay huh?

To be 16 and pregnant

Instead of living my life I’m giving life to another

Instead of being 16 at 16 I have to be 24 at 16

Instead of trying to figure out what’s right for me

I have to do what’s right for us

And I’m taking care of my responsibilities

So that makes it okay huh?

To be 16 and pregnant

Just because I can have a child that doesn’t mean I’m ready

Just because I’m old enough to have sex that doesn’t mean I’m ready

And you think because we’ve been together so long I’m obligated

So that makes it okay huh?

To be 16 and pregnant
