Just The Two Of Us

Now, Dad, this is a very sensitive subject

(Just the two of us, oh, hey)

(Just the two of us)

(Just the two of us)

(Just the two of us)

(Just the two of us)

From the first time the doctor placed you in my arms

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

Although questions arose in my mind, would I be man enough

Against wrong, choose right and be standing up?

From the hospital that first night

Took a hour just to get the car seat in right

People driving all fast, got me kinda upset

Got you home safe, placed you in your bassinet

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 knew 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

Five years old, bringin' comedy

Every time I look at you, I think, "Man, a little me"

Just like me

, wait and see, gonna be tall

Makes me laugh 'cause you got your dad's ears and all

Sometimes I wonder, what you gon' be?

A general, a doctor, maybe an MC

Haha, I wanna kiss you all the time

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

Uh-uh-uh, why you do that?

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 and

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

And you can cry, ain't no shame in it

It didn't work out with me and 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, uh[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, yeah

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 Dalmatians

on your CD-ROM

See, me, I'm tryin' to pretend I know

On my PC where that CD go

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

Feel the strife, but trust, life does go on

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 come true

I love you and I'm here for 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

(This is a really good song. How much am I gettin' paid for this, Dad?)
