It’s so moving to see God using all His children to spread love and save lives.
Watch and listen to the pro-life rap video "Happy Birthday":

That is amazing, I hope FReepers take the time to watch it....thank you for the post
Never liked rap and the messages it sends. But, I listened to the whole song and I would let my daughters listen to this.
Wow. Thanks for the link. It’s very well done. Thanks again.
Don’t mention it. I’m glad you found it as inspiring as I did. And to think: clean lyrics with a positive message!
I agree entirely. I was so moved by this I thought Freepers should see it. What a hopeful sign.
LYRICS
Happy Birthday
So Make a Wish
[Verse 1]
Please accept my apologies, wonder what would have been
Would you’ve been a little angel or an angel of sin?
Tom-boy running around, hanging with all the guys.
Or a little tough boy with beautiful brown eyes?
I payed for the murder before they determined the sex
Choosing our life over your life meant your death
And you never got a chance to even open your eyes
Sometimes I wonder as a fetus if you fought for your life?
Would you have been a little genius in love with math?
Would you have played in your schoolclothes and made me mad?
Would you have been a little rapper like your papa da Piper?
Would you have made me quit smokin’ by finding one of my lighters?
I wonder about your skintone and shape of your nose?
And the way you would have laughed and talked fast or slow?
Think about it every year, so I picked up a pen
Happy birthday, love you whoever you woulda been
Happy birthday...
[Chorus]
All I thought was a dream (make a wish)
Was as real as it seemed (happy birthday)
All I thought was a dream (make a wish)
Was as real as it seemed
I made a mistake!
[Verse 2]
I’ve got a millon excuses to why you died
Bet the people got their own reasons for homicide
Who’s to say it woulda worked, and who’s to say it wouldn’t have?
I was young and strugglin’ but old enough to be your dad
The fear of being a father has never disappeared
Pondering frequently while I’m zippin’ on my beer
My vision of a family was artificial and fake
So when it came time to create I made a mistake
Now you’ve got a little brother maybe he’s really you?
Maybe you really forgave us knowin’ we was confused?
Maybe everytime that he smiles it’s you proudly knowin’ that your father’s doin’ the right thing now?
I never tell a woman what to do with her body
But if she don’t love children then we can’t party
Think about it every year, so I picked up a pen
Happy birthday, love you whoever you woulda been
Happy birthday...
[Chorus]
All I thought was a dream (make a wish)
Was as real as it seemed (happy birthday)
All I thought was a dream (yeah, make a wish)
Was as real as it seemed
I made a mistake!
And from the heavens to the womb to the heavens again
From the endin’ to the endin’, never got to begin
Maybe one day we could meet face to face?
In a place without time and space
Happy birthday...
From the heavens to the womb to the heavens again
From the endin’ to the endin’, never got to begin
Maybe one day we could meet face to face?
In a place without time and space
Happy birthday...
[Chorus]
All I thought was a dream (make a wish)
Was as real as it seemed (happy birthday)
All I thought was a dream (make a wish)
Was as real as it seemed
I made a mistake...!
Abortion sucks. Good rap.
Agreed on both accounts.
Hee, hee, that helps my 48 year old brain/ears get it even more clearly! Thanks again!
As someone who listens to hip hop/rap and is disheartened with the content of the lyrics (posted a thread on it not to long ago), it is awesome to see a rap song with a positive message.
