Just The Two Of Us

Just the two of us, oh yeah

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 let you meet harm

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

Against wrong, choose right and be standin' up

From the hospital that first night

Took an 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

Just the two of us, we can make it if we try (Just the two of us)

Just the two of us (Just me and you, just me and you)

(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, bringing 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 a MC

I wanna kiss you all the time

But I will test that butt when you cut out of 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

Just the two of us, we can make it if we try

Just the two of us (Just me and you, just me and you)

Against the world (Just the two of us)

Just the two of us building castles in the sky (Just the two of us)

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

Once 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

Just the two of us, we can make it if we try (Just the two of us)

Just the two of us (Just me and you, just me and you)

Taking the world (Just the two of us)

Just the two of us building castles in the sky (Just the two of us)

Just the two of us, you and I (Can't nothin' hold us down)

Hold my hand, hold my hand (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)

Just the two of us, you and I (Takin' on the world, takin' on the world)

Just the two of us (Just me and you)

I'm always here for you (Look over you shoulder I'll be there)

Whatever you need just call on me (We gon' rise, we gon' shine)

Whatever you need I'll be there for you anytime, you and I (True that, true that)

Just the two of us (Just the two of us, yeah)

Just the two of us

Daddy loves you, daddy loves you (Just the two of us)

Just the two of us (You and I)

For the rest of your life

Just the two of us
