Music Video

I'm so excited to share this - this is the music video we are going to be a part of in a few weeks. It's filming in Long Beach. The artist is Melange Lavonne, and I admit I've never heard of her before. Apparently she's an awesome hip-hop singer making the rounds at lots of Gay Prides.

Anyway, let's try this, click on this link below

Gay Parenting by Melange Lavonne

It will open up in a new window but you can then click back here to read along (you gotta read the lyrics, it's quite empowering) - remember, this is yet to be filmed - we will be at the park (mentioned by the little boy in the very beginning) having a picnic, etc. We aren't getting paid but the exposure will be fun, and we get "credit" (names) on the video. It should be shown at Prides this year and on LOGO and other music stations. So, who knows? You never know who may be listening and watching...

Attached you will find the lyrics and the music for "I've Got You"-

I’ve Got You

Duration of Time: 4:32 minutes

- (little boy and mom)
Hook:
You’ll face discrimination but I got you
and some people gone be hating but I got you
and take in education that I taught you
hope to set a foundation that I go through

Hook:
You’ll face discrimination but I got you
and some people gone be hating but I got you
and take in education that I taught you
hope to set a foundation that I go through


Verse:
You aint even here yet and I’m preparing myself yo
I’m trying to give you the best like love and health so
I’m doing everything that I can, even though they keep telling me raising kids needs a woman and man,
but I met your other momma that’s the love of my life
and I got down on one knee and made her my wife
and we both wanted kids so we made it a plan
I gave up the two seater and I bought me a van, yo
society don’t think that I can raise you right
but when it comes down to it you're my ray of sunshine
and I'll stay up all night if I have to till you go to sleep you and me reciting nursery rhymes
cant wait to see you smile and you wiggle your toes
and us tryna make you laugh when we tickle your nose
I wrote this song just to let you know
that you got two loving parents in your life watching you grow

Hook:
You’ll face discrimination but I got you
and some people gone be hating but I got you
and take in education that I taught you
hope to set a foundation that I go through

Hook:
You’ll face discrimination but I got you
and some people gone be hating but I got you
and take in education that I taught you
hope to set a foundation that I go through


Verse 2
The most meaningful event was to witness your birth
I use to be self absorbed now I’m putting you first
cause when I had you, my entire life changed
I grew as an adult and responsible I became
put thought in my decisions and the choices I made to benefit you in good and positive ways
cause I know you deserve the best
I use to spend money now when I get it all I do is invest
so you can go to college and be as great as you can
accomplish all your dreams as a young woman or man
but until then help you get an awesome education
and make sure you're the proper age when you start dating
I'll love you regardless of the things you do
and I will pick you up if you should ever fall down
I'll do the best I can do to help you through
for my son or daughter, yes! I will be around

Hook:
You’ll face discrimination but I got you
and some people gone be hating but I got you
and take in education that I taught you
hope to set a foundation that I go through

Hook:
You’ll face discrimination but I got you
and some people gone be hating but I got you
and take in education that I taught you
hope to set a foundation that I go through


They say gays shouldn’t be allowed to raise any kids
if they put that much energy in something like this
imagine if they turned it around and protected a kid who got beat down by his father connecting the hits
or the parents spending money on booze
buying drugs to support their habit when the baby aint got no shoes
Parents throwing new born babies in the trash
their are some straight parents who should not be moms or dads
so don’t tell me I’m immoral cause I’m doing it still
your opinion not between my kid, me or my wife
you need to take a good look at your own parenting skills
and tell your own kid to put down that gun or the knife
I'm not saying I might be a better parent than you
what I’m saying is I am a better parent than you
so all the parents out there bringing joy in their home
I want you to know to you I'm dedicating this song

Hook:
You’ll face discrimination but I got you
and some people gone be hating but I got you
and take in education that I taught you
hope to set a foundation that I go through

Hook:
You’ll face discrimination but I got you
and some people gone be hating but I got you
and take in education that I taught you
hope to set a foundation that I go through

Hook:
You’ll face discrimination but I got you
and some people gone be hating but I got you
and take in education that I taught you
hope to set a foundation that I go through
