Lyrics
Dedicate this song to all the kids out there
Growing up without their father in their life
It's some real serious shit
Y'all listen
I know I'm not perfect but I'm striving
You feel me?
I met you at only 5 months
Spitting image of a one night stand
Between a woman and man
Beautiful baby girl
Not a worry in the world
I see the sun rise in your innocent eyes
And I'm hypnotized
Let me tell you about life and about the way it is
Oh this world ain't nothing like folks say it is
Let me protect you from these years to come
Provide a fairytale life
Far away from the slum
You'd be mine if I could rewind time
Been a while so long though
You got killer eyes of mine
As you get older you understand
Especially when your peers tell you
Old Mac was one hell of a man
I never met your real dad
And I never meant for this to make the **** feel bad
And that's my word
He couldn't understand your essence
And this I know
Cause I was there to watch you grow
Is you feeling me?
Daddy do you love me?
And if so why you wasn't there to hug me?
And watch me grow
Daddy do you love me?
And if so why you wasn't there to hug me?
And watch me grow
Daddy do you love me?
And if so why you wasn't there to hug me?
And watch me grow
This is what it sound like
Growing up without your godfather in your life
Young black male growing up without a father figure
Make it that much harder ****
Trying to be a man with no example of a man
Momma doing what she can
But she can't show you how to be a man
And this is where we break down
We used to be cops and robbers
Turn into shakedowns
Now we living like rebels
Born killers
We born to be kings and queens ****
On the reala
I know you and your baby momma can't get along
But there's no excuse to leave the kid alone
Cause ain't nothing like the birth of a child
A blessing in disguise
A girl or some guys with their daddy's eyes
And think about this before you abandon them
The people who try can't even have them
Before you say I'm preaching and you don't want to hear it
Take a look in the mirror
You feel me?
Daddy do you love me?
And if so why you wasn't there to hug me?
And watch me grow
Daddy do you love me?
And if so why you wasn't there to hug me?
And watch me grow
Daddy do you love me?
And if so why you wasn't there to hug me?
And watch me grow
This is what it sound like
Growing up without your godfather in your life
