So yo, today your birthday? (Yes, yeah)
You sure? (Daddy)
I don't think today your birthday (then what you call me for?)
Oh, I don't know, I just called to see what you was doing
You sure, what, what, what you turn today?
What you turn today, 19? (No, I'm turnin' 10, Daddy)
Nah, you turnin', what 32, 32, you 32 today
(You have been away for a long time)
It feel like it, don't it? (Yeah)
Yeah, but I miss you though, you miss me?
(Yes, very much, I just wish you could be here)
Word? (Yes)
Okay, I'll be there soon, a'ight? (You gon' be here tonight?)
Naw, boo-boo, I ain't gon' be there tonight (aww)
Woo! Mm, uh (yeah)
Uh, uh, uh, uh, c'mon
Yeah (yeah)
Don't you know I'll die for you? (Die for you)
I'll lay down my life for you
I would die for you (die for you, yeah)
Don't you know I'll die for you? (Die for you)
I'll lay down my life for you
I would die for you (die for you)
(I love you, Daddy)
I remember February 27, 1994
Tryna make it to the hospital through three inches of snow (ay)
Somethin's goin' wrong, I can tell, but I don't know
I got this feelin' in my gut, this ain't how it's supposed to go
Three pounds, two ounces and two months premature
I tell the incubator, is she gon' make it? They ain't sure
Automatically I place the blame on my health
Hell, I'm her father, mayne, I place the blame on myself
Was it somethin' that I smoked, did I eat or did I drink it?
Or was it somethin' I was doin' that I did, or did I think it?
Huh, watchin' her breathe through her holes in her nose
What's this EKG machine? What's this shit on her toes?
It's '94, I'm 85, so I'm spooked as can be (c'mon!)
I'm prayin', and I'm askin' why He do this to me
See, I used to hold you in the palm of my hand
And just to see you pull through
Shit, I knew you'd pull through
Yeah (yeah)
Don't you know I'll die for you? (Die for you)
I'll lay down my life for you
I would die for you (die for you, yeah)
Don't you know I'll die for you? (Die for you)
I'll lay down my life for you
I would die for you (die for you)
March 2-2nd, 1999
The year and the date I got my lil' man
I guess I felt how my father felt and his father felt
And his father musta felt to see hisself
It's like a lil' me in the flesh
He got my blood and my heart in his chest
Needless to say, man, I love him to death
Teach him if he disrespect me I'ma love him to death
Left to go out of town right after he was born
I got a record deal, three months later, Daddy was gone
It's like I'm tryin' to raise him over the phone
He barely know my face when he see it, but he know my tone
I'm hopin', I'm like, "Do he know who his Daddy is?"
I'm real close to sayin' fuck the showbiz
But when I hurr him, call his Daddy now
And when I hurr him tell his friends, "I'ma be just like my Daddy now"
Hope he forgive me for the sacrifice
So he can have a better life than I had
Yeah (yeah)
Don't you know I'll die for you? (Die for you)
I'll lay down my life for you
I would die for you (die for you, yeah)
Don't you know I'll die for you? (Die for you)
I'll lay down my life for you
I would die for you (die for you, yeah)
Don't you know I'll die for you? (Die for you)
I'll lay down my life for you
I would die for you (die for you, yeah)
Don't you know I'll die for you? (Die for you)
I'll lay down my life for you
I would die for you (die for you)
