(Now dad this is a very sensitive subject)
|
From the first time the doctor placed you in my arms
|
I knew I'd meet death before I'd let you meet harm
|
Although questions arose in my mind, would I be man enough?
|
Against wrong, choose right and be standin up
|
From the hospital that first night
|
Took a hour just ta get the carseat in right
|
People drivin all fast, got me kinda upset
|
Got you home safe, placed you in your basonette
|
That night I don't think one wink I slept
|
As I slipped out my bed, to your crib I crept
|
Touched your head gently, felt my heart melt
|
Cause I know I loved you more than life itself
|
Then to my knees, and I begged the Lord please
|
Let me be a good daddy, all he needs
|
Love, knowledge, discipline too
|
I pledge my life to you
|
|
Just the two of us, we can make it if we try
|
Just the two of us, (Just the two of us)
|
Just the two of us, building castles in the sky
|
Just the two of us, you and I
|
|
Five years old, bringin comedy
|
Everytime I look at you I think man, a little me
|
Just like me
|
Wait an see gonna be tall
|
Makes me laugh cause you got your dads ears an all
|
Sometimes I wonder, what you gonna be
|
A General, a Doctor, maybe a MC
|
Haha, I wanna kiss you all the time
|
But I will test that butt when you cut outta line, trudat
|
Uh-uh-uh why you do dat?
|
I try to be a tough dad, but you be makin me laugh
|
Crazy joy, when I see the eyes of my baby boy
|
I pledge to you, I will always do
|
Everything I can
|
Show you how to be a man
|
Dignity, integrity, honor an
|
An I don't mind if you lose, long as you came with it
|
An you can cry, ain't no shame it it
|
It didn't work out with me an your mom
|
But yo, push come to shove
|
You was conceived in love
|
So if the world attacks, and you slide off track
|
Remember one fact, I got your back
|
|
It's a full-time job to be a good dad
|
You got so much more stuff than I had
|
I gotta study just to keep with the changin times
|
101 Dalmations on your CD-ROM
|
See me-I'm
|
Tryin to pretend I know
|
On my PC where that CD go
|
But yo, ain't nuthin promised, one day I'll be gone
|
Feel the strife, but trust life does go wrong
|
But just in case It's my place To impart
|
One day some girl's gonna break your heart
|
And ooh ain't no pain like from the opposite sex
|
Gonna hurt bad, but don't take it out on the next, son
|
Throughout life people will make you mad
|
Disrespect you and treat you bad
|
Let God deal with the things they do
|
Cause hate in your heart will consume you too
|
Always tell the truth, say your prayers
|
Hold doors, pull out chairs, easy on the swears
|
You're living proof that dreams do come true
|
I love you and I'm here for you
|
|
(This is a good song dad, how much am I gettin paid for this?)
