Just The Two Of Us

(Now dad this is a very sensitive subject) <

[00:42.81]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 to 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 <

Chorus:

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 <

[01:43.79]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 out a line, too bad<

Uh-uh-uh why you do that? <

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 and 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 <

Chorus

[02:55.30]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 <

[03:04.73]See me-I'm <

Tryin to pretend I know<

On my PC where that CD go<

But yo, ain't nothing 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 *** <

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 <

Chorus to fade<
