From the first time the doctor
'fore I'd let you meet harm
Although questions arose in my mind:
Against wrong, choose right
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
placed you in your basinette
That night I don't think one wink I slept
Touched your head gently, felt my heart melt
'Cause I know I loved you more than life itself
and I begged the Lord, "Please
Let me be a good daddy, all he needs
Love, knowledge, discipline too"
we can make it if we try (Uh)
Just the two of us (Just me and you)
Just the two of us (ha- hah)
Just the two of us (whoo)
Building cas tles in the sky
Just the two of us, you and I (huh)
Five years old, bringin' comedy
I think, "Man, a little me!"
Wait an' see, gonna be tall
'cause you got your dad's ears an' all
Sometimes I wonder, what you gonna be?
A General, a Doctor, may be a MC
Ha- ha, I want to kiss you all the time
But I will test that butt
when you cut outta line, trudat
but you be makin' me laugh
when I see the eyes of my baby boy
I pledge to you, I will always do
Dignity, integ rity, honor an'
I don't mind if you lose,
An' you can cry, ain't no shame in it
It didn't work out with me an' your mom
But yo, push come to shove
You was conceived in love
Remember one fact, I got your back
we can make it if we try (Uh)
Just the two of us (Just me and you...)
(...'gainst the world) ...the two of us (uh)
Building cas tles in the sky
Just the two of us, you and I, yeah
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
A Hundred- One Dalmatians
See me, I'm tryin' to pretend I know
On my PC where that CD go
But yo, ain't nuthin promised,
Feel the strife, but trust life does go on
One day some girl's gonna break your heart
like from the opposite sex
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
Always tell the truth, say your prayers
Hold doors, pull out chairs,
You're living proof that dreams come true
I love you and I'm here for you
Just the two of us (Just me and you)
(takin' the world) ...the two of us
Building cas tles in the sky
Just the two of us, you and I
(Can't nothin' hold us down)
(Hold my hand, hold my hand, ha- hah)
Building castles in the sky
Just the two of us, you and I
(Takin' on the world, takin' on the world)
(Look over your shoulder, I'll be there)
Whatever you need, just call on me
(We gon' rise, we gon' shine)
I'll be there for you anytime
You and I (Trudat, trudat)
(Just the two of us) (ha- hah)
(Daddy loves you, Daddy loves you, whoo)
Building castles in the sky, oh my
You and I (for the rest of your life)
(This is a really good song
How much am I gettin' paid for this, dad?)
