(Now dad this is a very sensitive subject) < |
| [00:20.00][00:42.81] |
From the first time the doctor placed you in my arms< |
| [00:45.19] |
I knew I'd meet death before I'd let you meet harm < |
| [00:47.75] |
Although questions arose in my mind, would I be man enough?< |
| [00:50.82] |
Against wrong, choose right and be standin up < |
| [00:53.13] |
From the hospital that first night < |
| [00:55.19] |
Took a hour just to get the carseat in right < |
| [00:57.38] |
People drivin all fast, got me kinda upset < |
| [01:00.01] |
Got you home safe, placed you in your basonette< |
| [01:02.88] |
That night I don't think one wink I slept < |
| [01:05.25] |
As I slipped out my bed, to your crib I crept< |
| [01:07.82] |
Touched your head gently, felt my heart melt < |
| [01:10.57] |
Cause I know I loved you more than life itself < |
| [01:12.94] |
Then to my knees, and I begged the Lord please < |
| [01:15.75] |
Let me be a good daddy, all he needs < |
| [01:18.26] |
Love, knowledge, discipline too < |
| [01:20.75] |
I pledge my life to you < |
| [01:22.69] |
Chorus: |
| [01:23.13] |
Just the two of us, we can make it if we try < |
| [01:28.44] |
Just the two of us, (Just the two of us) < |
| [01:32.92] |
Just the two of us, building castles in the sky < |
| [01:38.10] |
Just the two of us, you and I < |
| [01:40.00][01:43.79] |
Five years old, bringin comedy < |
| [01:45.85] |
Everytime I look at you I think man, a little me < |
| [01:48.67] |
Just like me < |
| [01:49.60] |
Wait an see gonna be tall < |
| [01:50.91] |
Makes me laugh cause you got your dads ears an all < |
| [01:53.29] |
Sometimes I wonder, what you gonna be < |
| [01:56.73] |
A General, a Doctor, maybe a MC |
| [01:58.92] |
Haha, I wanna kiss you all the time < |
| [02:00.98] |
But I will test that butt when you cut out a line, too bad< |
| [02:04.54] |
Uh-uh-uh why you do that? < |
| [02:06.10] |
I try to be a tough dad, but you be makin me laugh < |
| [02:08.92] |
Crazy joy, when I see the eyes of my baby boy < |
| [02:11.85] |
I pledge to you, I will always do < |
| [02:14.35] |
Everything I can < |
| [02:15.60] |
Show you how to be a man < |
| [02:17.10] |
Dignity, integrity, honor an < |
| [02:19.42] |
An I don't mind if you lose, long as you came with it < |
| [02:22.10] |
An you can cry, ain't no shame it it < |
| [02:24.55] |
It didn't work out with me and your mom < |
| [02:26.62] |
But yo, push come to shove < |
| [02:28.01] |
You was conceived in love < |
| [02:29.20] |
So if the world attacks, and you slide off track < |
| [02:31.70] |
Remember one fact, I got your back < |
| [02:33.89] |
Chorus |
| [02:35.00][02:55.30] |
It's a full-time job to be a good dad < |
| [02:57.11] |
You got so much more stuff than I had < |
| [02:59.42] |
I gotta study just to keep with the changin times < |
| [03:02.05][03:04.73] |
See me-I'm < |
| [03:06.11] |
Tryin to pretend I know< |
| [03:07.11] |
On my PC where that CD go< |
| [03:09.55] |
But yo, ain't nothing promised, one day I'll be gone < |
| [03:12.42] |
Feel the strife, but trust life does go wrong < |
| [03:15.17] |
But just in case < |
| [03:15.92] |
It's my place < |
| [03:16.73] |
To impart < |
| [03:17.42] |
One day some girl's gonna break your heart < |
| [03:19.80] |
And ooh ain't no pain like from the opposite sex < |
| [03:22.36] |
Gonna hurt bad, but don't take it out on the next, son< |
| [03:25.42] |
Throughout life people will make you mad < |
| [03:27.92] |
Disrespect you and treat you bad < |
| [03:30.55] |
Let God deal with the things they do < |
| [03:32.61] |
Cause hate in your heart will consume you too < |
| [03:35.54] |
Always tell the truth, say your prayers < |
| [03:37.79] |
Hold doors, pull out chairs, easy on the swears < |
| [03:40.73] |
You're living proof that dreams do come true < |
| [03:42.92] |
I love you and I'm here for you < |
| [03:44.73] |
Chorus to fade< |
