i remember february 27th, 1994
tryna make it to the hospital through 3 inches of snow
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
straight to the incubator, is she gon` make it, dey ain`t sure
automatically, i placed the blame on my health
hell i`m a father mayne, i placed the blame on myself
was it somethin` dat i smoked, did i eat or did i drink it
or was it somethin` i was doin`, dat i did or did i think it
uh, watchin` her breathe through a hose in her nose
what`s dis ekg machine, what`s dis shiet on her toes
it`s 94, i`m 85 so i`m spooked as can be
i`m prayin` and i`m askin` why he do dis to me
see, i used to hold you in the palm of my hand
and just to see you pull through... shiet, i knew you`d pull through
you
don`t you know i`d die for ya
i laid out my life for ya
i would die for...
you
don`t you know i`d die for ya
i laid out my life for ya
i would die for...
you
march the 2nd, 1999
the year and the date i got my little man
i guess i felt how my father felt and his father felt
and his father must`ve felt to see his self
it`s like a little 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 outta town right after he was born
i got a record deal, three months later, daddy was gone
it`s like i`m tryna raise him over the phone
he barely know my face when he see it, but he know my tone
i`m up at night like do he know who his daddy is
i`m real close to sayin` fuck the showbiz
but when i herre him call his daddy, nah
and when i herre him tell his friends i`ma be just like my daddy, nah
hope he forgive me for the sacrifice
so he can have a better life... than i had
you
don`t you know i`d die for ya
i laid out my life for ya
i would die for...
you
don`t you know i`d die for ya
i laid out my life for ya
i would die for...
