(Baby Momma:)

Ball

I done two wayed you two or three times

now you need to call me back now

you know it's your sons birthday tomorrow

you need to call me

I'm getting pissed off.

(Chorus:)

Daddy, why you gone so long?

Daddy, when will you come back home?

Daddy, don't get your ??? alone

Daddy, when will you come back home?

(Eightball:)

Running though the airport

my lil shorty birthday and I ain't there for it

another show I gotta get it how it come to me

even though I wanna see my baby run to me smiling

reaching up, so I can pick him up

it's not enough that I can send money and buy his stuff

I wanna see him blow the candles out on the cake

be there to correct you when you make mistakes.

It's only so much ya momma can do for you

even though she do so much for you

only a man can teach you how to be a man

teach you not to be a fool in this foolish land.

Listen to ya momma

go to school don't trip

learn everything

being smart, that's hip.

Little man be strong hold the house down

and I'm goin be there to see you when I touch down, yeah.

(Chorus:)

Daddy, why you gone so long?

Daddy, when will you come back home?

Daddy, don't get your ??? alone

Daddy, when will you come back home?

(MJG: )

Baby I think about you all the time

throughout every show and every line

hope you and ya momma doing fine

I luv ya'll.

They had a fight at the club last night

don't worry

I'm straight

you can still hug dad tight

When I get home from off the road

you take this load off me

sweetheart tell ya momma to make me some coffee

Daddy's princess

Daddy's little gyrl

learning things daily in yo own little world.

I'm goin continue doing what I doing

to provide for ya

close ya eye's now, daddy's gotta surprise for ya

I'll ride for ya till I'm old grey and tired for ya

so when I'm gone, you'll understand I tried for ya.

It's important for a gyrl to know her father

so I can be the man you run to, when times get harder

I'm coming home

cause home is where the heart is

I'm worn out but still, I'll be there regardless.

(Chorus:)

Daddy, why you gone so long?

Daddy, when will you come back home?

Daddy, don't get your ??? alone

Daddy, when will you come back home?

(Eightball:)

This is for the

cats who hustle all day and night

in the streets doing what's wrong or what's right

you see ya babies when you can

don't ya know ya lil babies need to see you man

if you don't teach them

then they gonna learn the wrong way

so sit down and listen what they got to say.

And you boys in the club every weekend

straight ballin' but you can't take care of ya kids.

When they grow it's to late to try to make it up

you never know when god plan on taking us.

So much evil in the world and it's all new

to a child who ain't been through what you been through

a kid can't play in the streets without dodging bullets

and nine times outta ten

a kid probably pulled it

cause they momma

and daddy weren't there for ‘em

so it's important that we let ‘em know we care for ‘em, yeah.

(Chorus:)

Daddy, why you gone so long?

Daddy, when will you come back home?

Daddy, don't get yo ??? alone

Daddy, when will you come back home?

(Bridge:)

Daddy, Daddy

I really miss my daddy

Daddy, Daddy

I really miss my daddy

Daddy, Daddy

I really miss my daddy

Daddy, Daddy

I really miss my daddy.
