1st Verse

Young single mothers slave away for the children of tomorrow
Dead beat daddy’s only concerned with young females who swallow
Young single fathers break their backs for minimum wage
Baby mothers only care for love island dramas
Young kings dreaming of a Al Capone lifestyle
Young queens dreaming of a Cinderella story
Both gender off springs come from one another
You’ve got to show love before they self destruct
Once puberty hits
Bare foolishness can you blame the kids?
Throwing tantrums so we give them iPads
No discipline equals no listening
Ask them about their lineage and they'll start twiddling their thumbs
It’s not that they’re dumb
You’ve got to look at the parenting
Next time they ask a question, Don’t show them where the telly is...

Chorus
Man, Woman or Child
Him & Her, He & She
The cradle of civilisation
It started with Adam and Eve
The apple don’t fall too far from the tree
(x2)

2nd Verse

No father figures, No males calling her princess
So the only way she gets attention is through sex
Thinking it’s the route to unconditional love
When all it really does is makes the stomach turn
You can blame the world but it starts with us
Young Simbas growing up without Mufasas
Getting into scraps
Thinking that their hard now that they’ve got scars
It’s a damn shame when their locked behind bars
No woman to wipe the tears
So we get them tattooed just to fill the void
When all it really shows that we’re still little boys
Drawn to the shadows of a tree
We take a bite from the apple and embracing the worm
Digesting the poison
Throwing out the aroma of life
The cycle repeats
Even though we have our eyes open we’re still asleep...
Chorus

Man, Woman or Child
Him & Her, He & She
The cradle of civilisation
It started with Adam and Eve
The apple don’t fall too far from the tree
(x2)

Bridge

Chorus

Man, Woman or Child
Him & Her, He & She
The cradle of civilisation
It started with Adam and Eve
The apple don’t fall too far from the tree
(x4)
