Just The Two Of Us (feat. Brian McKnight)

Just the two of us, yeah
 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 standin' up
 From the hospital that first night
 Took a hour just ta get the car seat in right
 People drivin' all fast, got me kinda upset
 Got you home safe, placed you in your basinette
 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 know 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, uh
 Just the two of us, we can make it if we try
 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
 Everytime I look at you I think man a little me just like me
 Wait an see gonna be tall makes me laugh 'cause
 You got your dads ears an all
 Sometimes I wonder, what you gonna be?
 A General, a Doctor, maybe a MC
 Haha, I wanna kiss you all the time
 But I will test that butt when you cut outta line
 Trudat uh uh uh why you do dat?
 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 an' I don't mind if you lose
 Long as you came with it an' you can cry, ain't no shame it it
 It didn't work out with me an 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 the two of us, building castles in the sky
 Just the two of us, you and I
 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 Dalmations on your CD-ROM
 See me, I'm tryin to pretend I know
 On my PC where that CD go
 But yo, ain't nuthin' promised, one day I'll be gone
 Feel the strife, but trust life does go wrong
 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, uh
 Just the two of us, we can make it if we try
 Just the two of us
 Just the two of us, building castles in the sky
 Just the two of us, you and I
 Just the two of us
 Just the two of us, building castles in the sky
 Just the two of us, you and I
 Just the two of us, I'm always here for you
 Whatever you need just call on me
 Whatever you need I'll be there for anytime
 You and I
 Just the two of us
 Just the two of us, building castles in the sky
 You and I, just the two of us
