[00:00.00](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 <

[02:19.42]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<
