Will Smith - Just the Two of Us
Just the two of us
Just the two of us
From the first time the doctor placed you in my arms
I knew Id meet death before I 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 an hour just to get the car seat in right
People driving all fast got me kinda upset
Got you home safe
Placed you in your bassinet
That night I don't think one wink I slept
As I slipped out of bed to your crib I crept
Touched your head gently, felt my heart melt
Cause I knew I loved you more than life itself
Then to my knees, and I beeged the lord please
Let me be a good daddy
All he needs is love, knowledge, discipline too
I pledge my life to you
Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
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 bringing comedey
Every time I look at you I think man, a little me
Just like me
Wait and see
Going to be tall
Makes me laugh cause you got your dads ears and all
Sometimes I wonder, what you going to be
A general, a doctor, maybe an MC
Ha ha, I wanna kiss you all the time
But I will test that butt if you cut out of line
True dat Uh, uh, uh. Why you do that
I try to be a tough dad, but you be making 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, honorin.
I don't mind if you lose long as you came with it
And you can cry, aint no shame in it
It didn't work out with me and your mom
But yo push come to shove, you can see the love
So if the world attacks, and you slide off track
Remember one fact, I got your back
Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
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
Its 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 change in times
101 Dalmations on your CD-Rom
CD, Im tryin to pretend, I know
On my PC where that CD goes
But yo aint nothin promised, someday Ill be gone
Feel the strife, but trust, life does go on
But just in case its my place to depart
One day some girls going to break your heart
And ooo, aint no pain like from the opposite sex
Going to hurt bad, but dont 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
Youre living proof that dreams come true
I love you and Im here for you
Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
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
True dat. True dat
Just the two of us
Na na na yeah yeah
Just the two of us
Just the two of us building castles in the sky
Just the two of us
(For the rest of your life)
Just the two of us
Thats a really good song.
How much am I getting paid for this dad?
