Yo I can't sing
but I feel like singing. I want to fuckin'
sing
cuz I'm happy
yea
I'm happy. I got my baby back
yo
check
it out...
Verse 1
Somedays I sit staring out the window, watchin' this world pass
me by/Sometimes I think there's nothin' to live 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 wasting my time/But then I see my baby,
suddenly I'm not crazy. It all makes sense when I look into her
eyes
Chorus
Cuz sometimes it feels like the world's on my shoulders. Everyone's
leaning on me/ Cuz sometimes it feels like the world's almost over,
but then she comes back to me.
Verse 2
My baby girl keeps getting' older. I watch her grow up with pride.
People make jokes cuz they don't understand 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 in her eyes.
Verse 3
Man, if I could sing, I'd keep singin' this song to my daughter.
If I could hit the notes, I'd blow something as long as my father
/ to show her how I feel about her. How proud I am that I got her.
God, I'm a daddy, I'm so glad that her mom didn't. / Now you probably
get this picture from my public persona that I'ma pistol packin'
drug addict who bags on his mama. / But I wanna to just take this
time out to be perfectly honest, cuz there's a lot of shit I keep
bottled that hurts deep inside / of my soul. And just know that
I grow colder the older I grow. This boulder on my shoulder 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 that'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 - could have had someone
else/ But the years that I've wasted is nothing 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 should have seen it coming. What did I
stick my penis up in? Wouldn't have ripped the pre-nup up if I'da
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 tommorra, nice to know ya.
Our baby's traveled back to the arms of her rightful owner. / And
suddenly it seems like my shoulder blades have just shifted. It's
like the greatest gift you could get. The weight has been lifted.
Chorus
Outro
Told you I can't sing..Oh well... I tried... Hailie, remember when
I said if you ever need anything, Daddy would be right there? Guess
what? Daddy's here, and I ain't going nowhere, baby. I love you
(kiss)
