Yo, I can't sing it.
I feel like singing.
I wanna fucking sing.
'Cause I'm happy.
Yeah, I'm happy. (Haha)
I got my baby back.
Yo, check it out.
Some days I sit, staring out the window
Watching this world pass me by
Sometimes I think there's nothing 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
'Cause sometimes it feels like the world's on my shoulders
Everyone's leaning on me
'Cause sometimes it feels like the world's almost over
But then she comes back to me
My baby girl, keeps getting older
I watch her grow up with pride
People make jokes, 'cause 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 into her eyes
'Cause sometimes it feels like the world's on my shoulders
Everyone's leaning on me
'Cause sometimes it feels like the world's almost over
But then she comes back to me
Man if I could sing I'd keep singing 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 want her
Now you probably get this picture from my public persona
That I'm a pistol-packing drug addict who bags on his mama
But I wanna just take this time out to be perfectly honest
'Cause there's a lot of shit I keep bottled that hurts deep inside o' 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 breaking
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 living hell
But I handle it well, given the circumstances I'm dealt
So many chances, man it's too bad, coulda 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 facing: 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 peoples backs, bent over backwards for this woman
Man I shoulda seen it coming, what'd I stick my penis up in?
Wouldn't've ripped the pre-nup up if I'd seen what she was fucking
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 tomorra, nice to know ya
My baby's travelled back to the arms of her rightful owner
And suddenly it seems that my shoulder blades have just shifted
It's like the greatest gift you can get, the weight has been lifted
Now it don't feel like the world's on my shoulders
Everyone's leanin'on me
'Cause my baby knows that her daddy's a soldier
Nothing can take her from me
Woo!
I told you I can't sing.
Oh well, I tried.
Hailie, 'member when I said "If you ever need anything, daddy will be right there?"
Well guess what?
Daddy's here. And I ain't going nowhere baby.
I love you.
