Wretch 32 - Hush Little Baby Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hush little baby don't you cry
I said hush little baby don't you cry [x3]
I'm saying hush little baby don't you cry
Daddy ain't sure if he can raise you right
Why should I think I can save your life?
And the whole family's gonna think I'm a devil, I don't wanna see my angels eyes
I say this with one hand on my heart, guilt ain't gonna make me change my mind
My first thoughts, were the worst thoughts, running 'round my head in circles
The worlds gonna hate me for saying this, but patience is a virtue
So we don't have to rush for our first youth, we can take time do rehearsals
And I ain't acting this is personal, and I ain't doing this just to hurt you
[Chorus]
I should say goodbye, before I say hello
Because if you open your eyes, I'll never let you go
Moving slowly, we'll both sleep tonight
And we'll just be dreaming 'til you wake me up
[Verse 2]
When I'm telling her about raving
She's telling me about cravings
I want her to just get the message
I don't wanna have to be so blatant
So I told her my life ain't balanced
Yeah, said the time ain't right
She said god's clock's the only one that matters
And it's about time I tried, yeah and if I listen to my family
Then they'll be a new addition to my family
I can't help feeling peer pressured, everybody's looking down but they don't understand me
And everyone's so suggestive, I'm getting mixed messages, but nobody's rang me
Huh, I'm saying this ain't a game, but I say the wrong thing and everyone wants to hang me.
[Chorus]
I should say goodbye, before I say hello
So darling hold me, closely, tonight
Because if you open your eyes, I'll never let you go
Moving slowly, we'll both sleep tonight
And we'll just be dreaming 'til you wake me up
Hush little baby don't you cry,
I said hush little baby don't you cry,
I said hush little baby don't you cry, no,
I said hush little baby don't you cry
[Chorus]
I should say goodbye, before I say hello
So darling hold me, closely, tonight
Because if you open your eyes, I'll never let you go
Moving slowly, we'll both sleep tonight
And we'll just be dreaming 'til you wake me up

A beautiful song, with beautiful lyrics and singing and rapping! 💕💕💕
how many collaborations is Ed Sheeran on that are about abortions. i love this song but when i heard River i had to come back and listen after years of not listening to this song
O negao lindo meu Deus charmoso demais apaixonada
This song cold not have come at a more perfect moment in my life! Such a powerful message. Love!!!
this is what i live for!! sick song
Listen no matter what mood manz in wretch got something for you he is a unique talent and I'm glad he is around in my time
i can´t find the original song on spotify. there is only covers
Ed sheran omg
2K17 anybody?
This is the best rap ever
2017 anyone
Great song
why isnt this on spotify?`i'm mad now...
One of the best songs out there
Listen in 2017
In my opinion, I think the song is about taking a decision between his personal life and a baby (because he doesn't feel ready yet for that) or it also could be that he has to take a decision between his wife and his baby (because she could die while she is giving birth). Maybe I'm wrong, May anyone explain it to me? Please :)
Am i the only one who cries at this video, and also every other Ed sheeran featured or his videos?
Oh god this is just making me cry so had why dafuq is this so underrated?
who's listening 2017?
Ed ❤️
this song hits hard if you every been through losing a baby
Try listening to small bump by ed Sheeran, I used to love it but cant listen to it after losing my little one xx
love this song!!!!! you're a good rapper mannnnn from south korea❤❤❤
Still listening to this in 2017
omg😍😍
man i love u but drop the suites
the live version was way better but honestly this song is really underrated this should be a hitt and its nice to hear a rapper sing about something other than money and hoes drugs and how bad they are
2017 and this is masterpiece
Shudda put something on the end of it
lyrics are tight
beautiful song
never heard of wrethch 32 until i heard that fire in the booth..
5thdawg you're Americans are so out of the loop from the rest of the world, it's cute :)
Sjneft e i ain't american fam, am from London. But i don't have time to research or watch any music on t.v unless i hear it on the radio many times.
The only fire in the booth there is, is Big Shaq
It's nice see a song in the eyes of a future father struggling with the idea of becoming a parent. with the added pressure of not having choices like a woman. it's an eye opener.
How's fatherhood treating you now buddy? I used to listen to this and panic but it's been pretty chilled 😁
what a shit singer
Jim Macca fuck off he's brilliant
who gives a fuck when ur listing to it, just listen n stfu
lol right. that shit is corny as hell.
steff420 Are you listening to it on the 28th of September?
This was a tune.
3:36 baphomet
im dissapointed in you wretch
Rate this and rate wretch 32 so much
the 376 thumbs down have issues in life
Ed sheeran is amazing
could someone tell me what the music video is about, im a bit confused
I just said....
It's him living out how the rest of his life is gonna pan out in his head if he stays with the family, and he's obviously panicking about the realty that he's becoming a father and gonna have to settle into a family and he's seeing his life flash before his eyes, that's why he see's his 40th anniversary, retirement and himself in the nursing home. But because he loves his partner and will have unconditional love for his child, then despite all of this he can't run away and goes straight to the hospital to be there through the birth
Yeah,that's how i see it.
MrWaheedulHaque In my opinion, I thought the song is about taking a decision between his personal life and a baby (because he doesn't feel ready yet for that) or it also could be that he has to take a decision between his wife and his baby (because she could die while she is giving birth)
i love this song i listing two the song why i go to higt school ☺
The only rapper who doesn't talk about drugs, money and sex. Respect🙌🏻
yeah NEW NON-mumble rapper u mean... There is alot of rappers who doesn't talk about drugs, money and sex ..
Tastifleek I didn’t realise that but yes he doesn’t

Nf or Witt Lowry

Love this song
I know I'm extremely late with a comment but I've been listening to this song many times now and it's my favourite by far. if anyone that sees this could you please tell me what the story is behind this song?
+TerrificTurnip Genius.com: "‘Hush Little Baby’ is a somewhat morbid, but beautifully presented (if possible) confession from Wretch that he does not feel ready to father a child.
At times almost in a cowardly manner, Mr. Three-Two philosophically protests that patience is what they need, not a baby and although never mentions the word itself, seems to suggest abortion several times throughout the track." - My favourite on the album too.

2015 and still a great song!!
LYRICS
Hush little baby don't you cry
I said hush little baby don't you cry [x3]
I'm saying hush little baby don't you cry
Daddy ain't sure if he can raise you right
I ain't even good with saving my money
Why should I think I can save your life?
And the whole family's gonna think I'm a devil, I don't wanna see my angels eyes
I say this with one hand on my heart, guilt ain't gonna make me change my mind
My first thoughts, were the worst thoughts, running 'round my head in circles
The worlds gonna hate me for saying this, but patience is a virtue
So we don't have to rush for our first youth, we can take time do rehearsals
And I ain't acting this is personal, and I ain't doing this just to hurt you
I should say goodbye, before I say hello
So darling hold me, closely, tonight
Because if you open your eyes, I'll never let you go
Moving slowly, we'll both sleep tonight
And we'll just be dreaming 'til you wake me up
When I'm telling her about raving
She's telling me about cravings
I want her to just get the message
I don't wanna have to be so blatant

Hush little baby don't you cry,
I said hush little baby don't you cry,
I said hush little baby don't you cry, no,
I said hush little baby don't you cry
I should say goodbye, before I say hello
So darling hold me, closely, tonight
Because if you open your eyes, I'll never let you go
Moving slowly, we'll both sleep tonight
And we'll just be dreaming 'til you wake me up

What's exactly is this song about?, does he loose a baby or what? Thanks for replying if you do ha xx
@Stacey Ryan He's at a point in his life where his partner is wanting or expecting a child and he's having doubts about the situation as he is unsure whether he's done enjoying his independence ( partying etc ) and is doubting his capabilities to take on such a responsibility ( being a father ). However he knows he can't say goodbye because he knows the moment he holds his child he wouldn't have it in him to leave; still the pressure he's facing from other people ( his family) and the lack of reassurance is causing him to have all these doubts.
Ah thanks si much @littletrebleclef xx
@Stacey Ryan its about having an abortion because he's not ready for a kid
Deadly Thanks for Answering xo
