I remember feburary 27 1994
|
Tryin to make it to the hospital through 3 inches of snow
|
Somethings goin wrong i can tell but i dont know
|
I got this feelin in my gut this aint how i supposed 2 go
|
3 pounds 2 ounces and 2 months premature
|
To the incubator is she gon make it they aint sure
|
Automatically i placed the blame on my health
|
Hell im a father mayne, i placed the blame on myself
|
Was it somethin that i smoked, did i eat or did i drink it
|
Or was it somethin i was doin that i did or did i think it
|
Watchin her breathe through her hose in her nose
|
Whats this EKG machine, wats this shit on her toes
|
This 94 im 85 so im spooked as can be
|
Im prayin and im askin why he do this to me
|
See, i used to hold you in the palm of my hand
|
And jus to see you pull through, shit i knew you'd pull through
|
|
You, dontcha know i'd die for ya
|
I'd lay down my life for ya (i would, die for)
|
You, dontcha know i'd die for ya

March the 2nd, 1999
|
The yurrr and the date i got my little mine
|
I guess i felt how my father felt and his father felt
|
And his father must have felt to see hiself
|
Its like a lil me in the flesh
|
He got my blood and my heart in his chest
|
Needless to say man i love him to death
|
Teach him if he disrespect me im'a love him to death
|
Left to go outa town right after he was born
|
Got a record deal 3 months later, daddy was gone
|
Its like im tryin to raise him over the phone
|
He barely kno my face when he see it but he know my tone
|
Im up at night like do he know who his daddy is
|
Im real close to sayin fuck the showbiz
|
But when i hurr him call his daddy na
|
And when i hurr him tell his friends i wanna be jus like my daddy na
|
Hope he forgive me for the sacrifice
|
So he can have a better life, than i had
|
|
You, dontcha know i'd die for ya
