My first son, isn`t he beautiful?
I`m not gonna let nothin`, I mean nothin`
Come between me and him
God, I thank you for my seed
And for that, I`ll raise him right, forever

Representin` for the fathers
That can`t see their seeds
Don`t worry `bout it, trust it`ll be alright
Ya know what I mean?
Ya feel me? Listen up

Seems like only yesterday
When I first held my baby
I remember just a feeling of joy
Well, taken there in an instant
Tried my best to fight against it
Just to face the fact, she don`t want me around

After ten long years, I refuse to believe
How could this woman take my baby and run?
No matter what, I`m his father
Have every right to encounter
I wanna spend some time with my baby boy
You know, so tell me

Why you wanna keep me from my baby?
Sittin` here drivin` me crazy
I never did nothin` wrong to my child
You say you wanna keep it straight business
Tell me girl what is this?
I know I did my half for my child

As I look into the mirror
So many times I will dream of wakin` up
And standing at your front door, oh yeah
Just as I was about to knock
Somethin` made me say "stop"
You need to walk away and it will work out

And I cried, I cried
Lord knows I tried to be the bigger man
Not let myself do something wrong
The pain I feel to be prolonged

And I`m still shocked, how could you be so cruel?
If you were me, what would you do?
Don`t you think he has the right to find out
That his daddy loves him, too

Why you wanna keep me from my baby?
Sittin` here drivin` me crazy
I never did nothin` wrong to my child
You say you wanna keep it straight business
Tell me girl what is this?
I know I did my half for my child

Why do this to me?
What did I ever do to you?
Now I don`t care, I`m gonna be there
I wanna know my child

Why you wanna keep me from my baby?
Sittin` here drivin` me crazy
I never did nothin` wrong to my child
You say you wanna keep it straight business
Tell me girl what is this?
I know I did my half for my child

Yo, son, I just want you to know
That I don`t care what`s goin` on
In your mother`s personal life
All I care about is you and I love you
And I will love you `til the day I die
And just remember one thing, I`m your father
