From the first time
The doctor placed you
In my arms
I knew I'd meet death
'Fore I let you meet harm
Although questions a rose
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 car seat in right
People drivin' all fast
Got me kinda upset
Got you home safe
Placed you in your
Bassinet
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 knew 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 uh
Uh
Just me and you
Just me and you
Ha ha
Woo
Huh uh
Five years old
Bringing comedy
Every time I look at you
I think man a little me
Just like me
Wait and see
Goin' to be tall
Makes me laugh 'cause
You got your dad's ears
And all
Sometimes I wonder
What you gonna be
A general a doctor
Maybe a emcee
I want to kiss you
All the time
But I will test that butt
When you cut out of line
True that
Uh uh uh
Why you do that
I try to be a tough dad
But you be ma kin' 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 and I don't mind
If you lose long as you
Came with it
And you can cry
Ain't no shame in 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 uh
Ha ha
Uh
Just me and you
Just me and you
'Gainst the world
Uh ha
Ha o
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
A Hundred One
Dalmatians on your
CD-ROM
See me
I'm tryin' to pretend
I know
On my PC where
That CD go
But yo
Ain't nothin' promised
One day I'll be gone
Feel the strife
But trust life does go on
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 livin' proof that
Dreams come true
I love you and
I'm here for you uh
Ha ha ha
Just me and you
Just me and you
Takin' the world
Ha ha ha ha
Uh uh
True that true that
Woo
Uh ha ha ha
Daddy loves you
Daddy loves you
Woo
Uh ha ha
For the rest of your life
