Song Lyrics

Daddy? [baby cries]
Daddy? [slight echo]

Daddy? (just to hear you breathing)
Damn man this shits crazy
Got a little son now, little me
Runnin' around, its crazy
I'd do anything man, do anything
Life is precious, remember that.

And if I die then my child'll be a bastard

I just had a newborn,
Shorty weighs seven pounds, six ounces, twenty inches, too strong,
I'm happy now, Ima daddy now,
I gotta be there, I ain't get to see my daddy around,
We ain't never get to ball out kid,
I was young, the game caught him before I did, but
Back to you son, as for you son,
I'd do any and everything, that's the truth son,
From the dirtiest diaper, till you get old enough to dirty your Nikes up,
I'm your clean up man,
You ever need a hand, need a foot, need a heart, need a lung,
Reach for the phone, call me up son,
Yes, everything drops for you, everything stops for you,
I'll bury a block for you,
I'll let go every shot for you, and I'll reload the clip, just to make sho he's hit

[Chorus: x2]
I gotta little boy to look after,
I gotta little boy to look after,
[said] I gotta little boy to look after,
And if I die then my child'll be a bastard

Everyday I look in your face, I sit back and I smile,
Look at his face, its just like mine, wow,
Damn, this kid shines,
Authority and priority's, this kids mine, so,
That means I gotta beat him if I have to,
Keep him out of bad schools, teach him how to rap smooth,
Show him the ropes like, make sure his rope's tight,
No screws loose, no loose screws,
Got manners, got morals, got sense of respect,
Cause when you gone, boy that's all you got left,
You ever get craze for candy, don't take a strangers candy,
Open a strangers candy, those are the strangest candies,
I'm your rider, your guider, pusher, provider,
But most of all I'm your father and I'm just looking out for you,
When there's a problem, man I'm just looking out for you,
I'm not talking man, I'm just pulling out for you,
The ford, a sword, the hood'll come out for you,
And what I'm about to do, you shouldn't go out and do,
You just make sure your good to me, you good to mom,
Respect your elders, you grow to be good and strong,

[Chorus]

I raise you up in the sky, like behold,
The only thing greater then I, you, my greatest achievement,
F*ck a platinum plaque, this is history in the making, believe it,
Without you I can't make or succeed shit,
I can't think, I can't wake up and eat shit,
You the reason, that I'm breathin',
And I will stop at any moment to see this, child live a better life,
Wow its a better life, but you better throw down if you ever fight,
Like Rocky do, don't be no punk when its time to get up and put on your boxing shoes,
You lace 'em up tight, you fall, get up fight,
You lose, oh well, we all lose some fights,
Just be a man about yours, life is all about handling yours,
So you just keep handling yours.

[Chorus]
