We've seen the best and we've seen the worst
Yeah, we been blessed and we've been cursed
Your mommas know that I love you
Both, but they won't tell you that I tried
I try every day of my life
It's been a test to make it here, my hope has faded through the years
I've been holding on to prayer and I hope that someday soon
God sees my efforts and my pain
Shows me my efforts aren't in vain
I've played the part, and I've played the fool, and I been used
And I let them get the best of me, but it was all for you
For what it's worth I never meant you any pain
Just so you know I love you both just the same
We've seen the best and we've seen the worst
Yeah, we been blessed and we've been cursed
It's all been worth it, just to watch you grow boys
And I'll be a daddy till I die
When I die I'll keep the angels by your side
I've played the part, and I've played the fool, and I been used
And I let them get the best of me, but it was all for you
For what it's worth I never meant you any pain
Just so you know I love you both just the same
I've played the part, and I've played the fool, and I been used
And I let them get the best of me, but it was all for you
For what it's worth I never meant you any pain
Just so you know I love you both just the same
