I can`t sing it
I feel like singin`
I wanna (*fuckin`*) sing
`Cuz I`m happy
Yeah, I`m happy
Ha Ha
I got my baby back
Yo, check it out
Verse 1
Some days I sit (sit), starin` out the window
Watchin` this world pass me by
Sometimes I think (think) there`s nothin` to live for (for)
I almost break down and cry
Sometimes I think I`m crazy
I`m crazy, oh so crazy
Why am I here, am I just wastin` my time?
But then I see my baby
Suddenly I`m not crazy
It all makes sense when I look into her eyes (Oh no)
Chorus
Sometimes it feels like the world`s on my shoulders
Everyone`s leanin` on me
`Cuz sometimes it feels like the world`s almost over
But then she comes back to me
Verse 2
My baby girl(girl)(Hailie laughs) keeps gettin` older
I watch her grow up with pride
People make jokes (jokes), `cuz they don`t understand me (me)
They just don`t see my real side
I act like (*shit*) don`t phase me,
Inside it drives me crazy
My insecurities could eat me alive
But then I see my baby
Suddenly I`m not crazy
It all makes sense when I look into her eyes
Chorus
Verse 3
Yeah and if I could sing, I`d keep singin` this song to my daughter
If I could hit the notes, I`d blow somethin` as long as my father
To show her how I feel about her, how proud I am that I got `er
God, I`m a daddy, I`m so glad that her mom didn`t *censored* (abort her)
Now you prob`ly get this picture from my public persona
That I`m a pistol-packin` drug-addict who bags on his mama,
But I wanna just take this time out to be perfectly honest
`Cuz there`s a lot of (*shit*) I keep bottled that hurts deep inside o` ma soul,
And just know that I grow colder the older I grow
This boulder on my shoulder that gets heavy and harder to hold
And this load is like the weight of the world
And I think my neck is breakin` should I just give up
Or try to live up to these expectations? now look,
I love my daughter more than life in itself,
But I got a wife who`s determined to make my life livin` hell
But I handle it well, given the circumstances I`m dealt
So many chances, man, it`s too bad, coulda had someone else
But the years that I`ve wasted are nothin` to the tears that I`ve tasted
So here`s what I`m facin`: 3 felonies, 6 years of probation
I`ve went to jail for this woman, I`ve been to bat for this woman
I`ve taken bats to people`s backs, bent over backwards for this woman
Man, I shoulda seen it comin`, what`d I stick my penis up in?
Woulda ripped the pre-nup if I`d seen what she was (*fuckin`*)
But (*fuck*) it, it`s over, there`s no more reason to cry no more
I got my baby, baby the only lady that I adore, Hailie
So sayonara, try tomorra, nice to know ya
My baby`s travelled back to the arms of her rightful owner
And suddenly it seems that my shoulder blades have just shifted
It`s like the greatest gift you can get
The weight has been lifted
(Chorus 2)
Now it don`t feel like the world`s on my shoulders
Everyone`s leanin` on me
Cause my baby knows that her daddy`s a soldier
Nothin` can take her from me
Outro - Spoken
Woo!
I told you, I can`t sing.
Oh well, I tried
Hailie, remember when I said
If you ever need anything, daddy will be right there?
Well guess what, daddy`s here.
And I ain`t goin` nowhere baby
I love you (kiss)
