Just The Two Of Us

(Now dad this is a very sensitive subject)

From the first time the doctor placed you in my arms

I knew I'd meet death before I'd let you meet harm

Although questions arose 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 ta get the carseat in right

People drivin all fast, got me kinda upset

Got you home safe, placed you in your basonette

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 know 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

Chorus:

Just the two of us, we can make it if we try

Just the two of us, (Just the two of us)

Just the two of us, building castles in the sky

Just the two of us, you and I

Verse 2:

Five years old, bringin comedy

Everytime I look at you I think man, a little me

Just like me

Wait an see gonna be tall

Makes me laugh cause you got your dads ears an all

Sometimes I wonder, what you gonna be

A General, a Doctor, maybe a MC

Haha, I wanna kiss you all the time

But I will test that butt when you cut outta line, trudat

Uh-uh-uh why you do dat?

I try to be a tough dad, but you be makin 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 an

An I don't mind if you lose, long as you came with it

An you can cry, ain't no shame it it

It didn't work out with me an 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

Chorus

Verse 3:

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

101 Dalmations on your CD-ROM

See me-I'm

Tryin to pretend I know

On my PC where that CD go

But yo, ain't nuthin promised, one day I'll be gone

Feel the strife, but trust life does go wrong

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 living proof that dreams do come true

I love you and I'm here for you

Chorus to fade

(This is a good song dad, how much am I gettin paid for this?)
