Just The Two Of Us
(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?Against wrong, choose right and be standin upFrom the hospital that first nightTook a hour just ta get the carseat in rightPeople drivin all fast, got me kinda upsetGot you home safe, placed you in your basonetteThat night I don't think one wink I sleptAs I slipped out my bed, to your crib I creptTouched your head gently, felt my heart meltCause I know I loved you more than life itselfThen to my knees, and I begged the Lord pleaseLet me be a good daddy, all he needsLove, knowledge, discipline tooI pledge my life to you
[Chorus:]Just the two of us, we can make it if we tryJust the two of us, (Just the two of us)Just the two of us, building castles in the skyJust the two of us, you and I
Five years old, bringin comedyEverytime I look at you I think man, a little meJust like meWait an see gonna be tallMakes me laugh cause you got your dads ears an allSometimes I wonder, what you gonna beA General, a Doctor, maybe a MCHaha, I wanna kiss you all the timeBut I will test that butt when you cut outta line, trudatUh-uh-uh why you do dat?I try to be a tough dad, but you be makin me laughCrazy joy, when I see the eyes of my baby boyI pledge to you, I will always doEverything I canShow you how to be a manDignity, integrity, honor anAn I don't mind if you lose, long as you came with itAn you can cry, ain't no shame it itIt didn't work out with me an your momBut yo, push come to shoveYou was conceived in loveSo if the world attacks, and you slide off trackRemember one fact, I got your back
[Chorus]
It's a full-time job to be a good dadYou got so much more stuff than I hadI gotta study just to keep with the changin times101 Dalmations on your CD-ROMSee me-I'mTryin to pretend I knowOn my PC where that CD goBut yo, ain't nuthin promised, one day I'll be goneFeel the strife, but trust life does go wrongBut just in caseIt's my placeTo impartOne day some girl's gonna break your heartAnd ooh ain't no pain like from the opposite sexGonna hurt bad, but don't take it out on the next, sonThroughout life people will make you madDisrespect you and treat you badLet God deal with the things they doCause hate in your heart will consume you tooAlways tell the truth, say your prayersHold doors, pull out chairs, easy on the swearsYou're living proof that dreams do come trueI love you and I'm here for you
[Chorus to fade]
