[Intro - Spoken]

Yo, I can't sing it

I feel like singin

I wanna fuckin sing

Cuz i'm happy

Yeah, I'm happy

Ha Ha

I got my baby back

Yo, check it out

[Verse 1 - Sung]

Some days I sit, starin out the window

Watchin this world pass me by

Sometimes I think theres nothin to live for

I almost break down and cry

Somtimes I think I'm crazy

I'm crazy, oh so crazy

Why am I here, am I just wasting my time

But then I see my baby

Suddenly I'm not crazy

It all makes sense when i look into her eyes

[Chorus]

Somtimes it feels like the world's on my shoulders

Everyone's leanin on me

Cuz sometimes it feels like the world's almost over

But then she comes back to me

[Verse 2 - Sung]

My baby girl [Hailie laughs] keeps gettin older

I watch her grow up with pride

People make jokes, cuz they don't understand me

They just dont see my real side

I act like shit don't phase me,

Inside it drives me crazy

My insecurities could eat me alive

But then I see my baby

Suddenly I'm not crazy

It all makes sense when I look into her eyes

[Chorus]

[Verse 3 - Rapped]

Yeah and if I could sing, I'd keep singing this song to my daughter

If I could hit the notes, I'd blow something as long as my father

To show her how I feel about her, how proud I am that I got her

God, I'm a daddy, I'm so glad that her mum didn't [censored] (abort her)

Now you probly get this picture from my public persona

That I'm a pistol-packing drug-addict who bags on his momma,

But I wanna just take this time out to be perfectly honest

Cuz there's a lot of shit I keep bottled that hurts deep inside o' my soul,

And just know that I grow colder the older I grow

This boulder on my shoulder gets heavy and harder to hold

And this load is like the weight of the world

And I think my neck is breaking should I just give up,

Or try to live up to these expectations

Now look, I love my daughter more than life in itself,

But I got a wife that's determined to make my life livin hell

But I handle it well, given the circumstances I'm dealt

So many chances, man, it's too bad, coulda had someone else

But the years that I've wasted are nothing to the tears that I've tasted

So here's what im facin:

3 felonies, 6 years of prohibation

I've went to jail for this woman, I've been to bat for this woman

I've taken bats to peoples backs, bent over backwards for this woman

Man, I shoulda seen it comin, why'd I stick my penis up it

Woulda ripped the pre-nip up if I'd seen what she was fuckin

But fuck it, it's over, there's no more reason to cry no more

I got my baby, maybe the only lady that I adore, Hailie

So sayonara, try tomorra, nice to know ya

My baby's travelled back to the arms of her rightful owner

And suddenly it seems that my shoulder blades have just shifted

It's like the greatest gift you can get

The weight has been lifted

Now it don't feel like the world's on my shoulders

Everyone's leanin on me

Cuz my baby know's that her daddy's a soldier

Nothin' can take her from me

[Outro - Spoken]

Woo!

I told you I can't sing.

Oh well, I tried

Hailie, 'member when I said

If you ever need anything, daddy will be right there

Well guess what

Daddy's here.

And I ain't goin nowhere baby

I love you! (kiss)
