Just the Two of Us - Radio Edit

Now dad this is a very sensitive subject
 (Oh, oh, 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 to get the car seat in right
 People drivin' all fast, got me kinda upset
 Got you home safe, placed you in your basonette
 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
 (Uh, just me and you, just me and you) 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, you and I
 Five years old, bringin' 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 dads ears an all
 Sometimes I wonder, what you gon' 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, 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 it 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, uh
 Just the two of us, we can make it if we try
 (Ha-ha, just me and you, just me and you) Just the two of us
 (Just the two of us)
 Just the two of us, building castles in the sky (against the world)
 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 nothin' 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 do come true
 I love you and I'm here for you, uh
 Just the two of us, we can make it if we try
 (Ah-ha, just me and you, just me and you) Just the two of us
 (Just the two of us) (We're taking the world)
 Just the two of us, building castles in the sky
 Just the two of us, you and I (true-dat, true-dat)
 Just the two of us (just the two of us) (woo! uh, ah-ha, ah-ha!)
 Just the two of us, building castles in the sky (daddy loves you, daddy loves you)
 (Just the two of us) you and I
 (For the rest of your life!)
 Just the two of us
 That 's a really good song
 How much am I getting paid for this dad?
