Daddy lyrics
by Sizzla
[Intro]
Daddy – damn, man this sh*t is crazy
Got a lil' son now, a lil' me
Runnin' around, this is crazy
I'll do anything, man, anything
Life is precious, remember that
(And if I die, then my child will be a bast*rd)
[Verse 1]
I just had a new born
Shorty weigh 7 pounds 6 ounces, 20 inches, too strong
I'm happy now
I'm a daddy now
I gotta be there, I ain't get to see my daddy 'round
We ain't never get to ball out, kid
I was young, the game caught him before I did
But, back to you, son, as for you, son –
I do any and everything, that's the truth, son
From the dirtiest diaper, 'til you get old enough to dirty your Nikes up
I'm your clean-up man, if you ever need a hand
Need a foot, need a heart, need a lung
Reach for the phone, call me up, son
Yes, everything drops for you, everything stops for you
I bury a block for you, I let go every shot for you
And I reload the clip, just to make sure he's hit
[Hook]
I got a lil' boy to look after
I got a lil' boy to look after
I got a lil' boy to look after
And if I die, my child will be a bast*rd
I got a lil' boy to look after
I got a lil' boy to look after
I got a lil' boy to look after
And if I die, my child will be a bast*rd
[Verse 2]
Everyday I look in ya face
I sit back and I smile, look at his face
It's just like mine
Wow – damn, this kid shines
Authority and priority, this kid mine's
So that means, I have to beat him if I have to
Keep him out of bad schools
Teach him how to rap smooth
Show him the ropes, like make sure his ropes tight
No screws loose, no loose screws
Got manners, got morals, got sense, respect
'Cause when you gone, boy, that's all you got left
You ever get craves for candy, don't take a stranger's candy
Open a stranger's candy, those are the strangest candies
I'm ya rider, ya guider, plus ya provider but most of all ya father
And I'm jus' lookin' out for you
When there's a problem, I'm just lookin' out for you
I ain't talkin', man, I'm just pullin' out for you
The four, the sword, the hood will come out for you
And what I'm about to do, you shouldn't go out and do
Jus' make sure you good to me and good to Moms
Respect your elders, you'll grow to be good and strong
[Hook]
I got a lil' boy to look after
I got a lil' boy to look after
I got a lil' boy to look after
And if I die, my child will be a bast*rd
I got a lil' boy to look after
I got a lil' boy to look after
I got a lil' boy to look after
And if I die, my child will be a bast*rd
[Verse 3]
I placed you up in the sky
Like, "Behold – the only thing greater than I"
You, my greatest achievement
f*ck a platinum plaque
This is history in the making, believe in it
Without you, I can't make or succeed in sh*t
I can't think, I can't wake up and eat sh*t
You the reason that I'm breathin'
And I'll stop at any moment to see this child live a better life
Wow, it's a better life
But you better throw down if you ever fight
Like Rocky do
Don't be no punk when it's time to get up and put on your boxin' shoes
You lace 'em up tight, you fall? Get up and fight
You lose? Oh well, we all lose some fights
Jus' be a man about yours, life is all about handlin' yours
So you just keep handlin' yours
[Hook]
I got a lil' boy to look after
I got a lil' boy to look after
I got a lil' boy to look after
And if I die, my child will be a bast*rd
I got a lil' boy to look after
I got a lil' boy to look after
I got a lil' boy to look after
And if I die, my child will be a bast*rd
