(Now dad this is a very sensitive subject)From the first time the doctor placed you in my armsI knew I'd meet death before I'd let you meet harmAlthough questions arose in my mind, would I be man enough? |
| [00:52.919] |
Against wrong, choose right and be standin up |
| [00:55.228] |
From the hospital that first night |
| [00:57.288] |
Took a hour just ta get the carseat in right |
| [00:59.478] |
People drivin all fast, got me kinda upset |
| [01:02.198] |
Got you home safe, placed you in your basonette |
| [01:04.979] |
That night I don't think one wink I slept |
| [01:07.348] |
As I slipped out my bed, to your crib I crept |
| [01:09.919] |
Touched your head gently, felt my heart melt |
| [01:13.289] |
Cause I know I loved you more than life itself |
| [01:15.380] |
Then to my knees, and I begged the Lord please |
| [01:17.848] |
Let me be a good daddy, all he needs |
| [01:20.359] |
Love, knowledge, discipline too |
| [01:22.848] |
I pledge my life to you |
| [01:24.788] |
Chorus: |
| [01:24.798] |

| [01:25.229] |
Just the two of us, we can make it if we try |
| [01:30.538] |
Just the two of us, (Just the two of us) |
| [01:35.180] |
Just the two of us, building castles in the sky |
| [01:40.198] |
Just the two of us, you and I |
| [01:44.448] |

It didn't work out with me an your mom |

But yo, push come to shove |

You was conceived in love |
| [02:31.300] |

101 Dalmations on your CD-ROM |

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 |
| [03:27.520] |
Throughout life people will make you mad |
| [03:30.200] |
Disrespect you and treat you bad |
| [03:33.100] |
Let God deal with the things they do |
| [03:34.710] |
Cause hate in your heart will consume you too |
| [03:38.0] |
Always tell the truth, say your prayers |
| [03:39.890] |
