Now dad this is a very sensitive subject
Just the two of us, oh, oh, yeahJust 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 armsI knew I'd meet death 'fore I'd let you meet harmAlthough questions arose in my mind, would I be man enough?Against wrong, choose right and be standin' up?
From the hospital that first nightTook a hour just to get the car seat in rightPeople drivin' all fast, got me kinda upsetGot you home safe, placed you in your basonette
That night I don't think one wink I sleptAs I slipped out my bed, to your crib I creptTouched your head gently, felt my heart melt'Cause I know I loved you more than life itself
Then to my knees, and I begged the Lord pleaseLet me be a good daddy, all he needsLove, knowledge, discipline tooI pledge my life to you
Just the two of us, we can make it if we tryJust the two of us (just the two of us)Just the two of us, building castles in the skyJust the two of us, you and I
Five years old, bringin' comedyEvery time I look at you I think man, a little meJust like me, wait and see gonna be tallMakes me laugh 'cause you got your dads ears an all
Sometimes I wonder, what you gon' be?A general, a doctor, maybe a MCHaha, I wanna kiss you all the timeBut 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 laughCrazy joy, when I see the eyes of my baby boyI pledge to you, I will always do
Everything I canShow you how to be a manDignity, integrity, honor andI don't mind if you lose, 'long as you came with itAnd you can cry, ain't no shame it it
It didn't work out with me and your momBut yo, push come to shove, you was conceived in loveSo if the world attacks, and you slide off trackRemember one fact, I got your back
Just the two of us, we can make it if we tryJust the two of us (just the two of us)Just the two of us, building castles in the skyJust the two of us, you and I
It's a full-time job to be a good dadYou got so much more stuff than I hadI gotta study just to keep with the changin' times101 Dalmations on your CD-ROM
See me-I'm, tryin' to pretend I knowOn my PC where that CD goBut yo, ain't nothin' promised, one day I'll be goneFeel the strife, but trust life does go wrong
But just in case, it's my place to impartOne day some girl's gonna break your heartAnd, ooh, ain't no pain like from the opposite sexGonna hurt bad, but don't take it out on the next, son
Throughout life people will make you madDisrespect you and treat you badLet God deal with the things they do'Cause hate in your heart will consume you too
Always tell the truth, say your prayersHold doors, pull out chairs, easy on the swearsYou're living proof that dreams do come trueI love you and I'm here for you
Just the two of us, we can make it if we tryJust the two of us (just the two of us)Just the two of us, building castles in the skyJust the two of us, you and I (can't nothin' hold us down)
Just the two of us (just the two of us)Just the two of us, building castles in the skyJust the two of us, you and I
Just the two of us (just me and you)I'm always here for you (look over your shoulder, I'll be there)Whatever you need just call on me (we gon' ride)Whatever you need, I'll be there for you anytimeYou and I (true that, true that)
Just the two of us (just the two of us)Just the two of us (just the two of us)You and I (for the rest of your life)Just the two of us
(This is a really good song, how much am I gettin' paid for this dad?)
