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)
