Daddy

[Intro]

Daddy – damn, man this shit is crazy

Got a lil' son now, a lil' me

Runnin' around, this is crazy

I'll do anything, man, anything

Life is precious, remember that

(And if I die, then my child will be a bastard)

[Verse 1]

I just had a new born

Shorty weigh 7 pounds 6 ounces, 20 inches, too strong

I'm happy now

I'm a daddy now

I gotta be there, I ain't get to see my daddy 'round

We ain't never get to ball out, kid

I was young, the game caught him before I did

But, back to you, son, as for you, son –

I do any and everything, that's the truth, son

From the dirtiest diaper, 'til you get old enough to dirty your Nikes up

I'm your clean-up man, if you ever need a hand

Need a foot, need a heart, need a lung

Reach for the phone, call me up, son

Yes, everything drops for you, everything stops for you

I bury a block for you, I let go every shot for you

And I reload the clip, just to make sure he's hit

[Hook]

I got a lil' boy to look after

I got a lil' boy to look after

I got a lil' boy to look after

And if I die, my child will be a bastard

I got a lil' boy to look after

I got a lil' boy to look after

I got a lil' boy to look after

And if I die, my child will be a bastard

[Verse 2]

Everyday I look in ya face

I sit back and I smile, look at his face

It's just like mine

Wow – damn, this kid shines

Authority and priority, this kid mine's

So that means, I have to beat him if I have to

Keep him out of bad schools

Teach him how to rap smooth

Show him the ropes, like make sure his ropes tight

No screws loose, no loose screws

Got manners, got morals, got sense, respect

'Cause when you gone, boy, that's all you got left

You ever get craves for candy, don't take a stranger's candy

Open a stranger's candy, those are the strangest candies

I'm ya rider, ya guider, plus ya provider but most of all ya father

And I'm jus' lookin' out for you

When there's a problem, I'm just lookin' out for you

I ain't talkin', man, I'm just pullin' out for you

The four, the sword, the hood will come out for you

And what I'm about to do, you shouldn't go out and do

Jus' make sure you good to me and good to Moms

Respect your elders, you'll grow to be good and strong

[Hook]

I got a lil' boy to look after

I got a lil' boy to look after

I got a lil' boy to look after

And if I die, my child will be a bastard

I got a lil' boy to look after

I got a lil' boy to look after

I got a lil' boy to look after

And if I die, my child will be a bastard

[Verse 3]

I placed you up in the sky

Like, "Behold – the only thing greater than I"

You, my greatest achievement

Fuck a platinum plaque

This is history in the making, believe in it

Without you, I can't make or succeed in shit

I can't think, I can't wake up and eat shit

You the reason that I'm breathin'

And I'll stop at any moment to see this child live a better life

Wow, it's a better life

But you better throw down if you ever fight

Like Rocky do

Don't be no punk when it's time to get up and put on your boxin' shoes

You lace 'em up tight, you fall? Get up and fight

You lose? Oh well, we all lose some fights

Jus' be a man about yours, life is all about handlin' yours

So you just keep handlin' yours

[Hook]

I got a lil' boy to look after

I got a lil' boy to look after

I got a lil' boy to look after

And if I die, my child will be a bastard

I got a lil' boy to look after

I got a lil' boy to look after

I got a lil' boy to look after

And if I die, my child will be a bastard
