I'd Die For You

(Intro)
You,..
You, need to know, baby.
I'd..I'd.
Do anything,NO!
I'd die for you.
Lay down my life,
for you.

I remember February 27 1994
Tryin' to make it to the hospital, through 3 inches of snow
Something's going wrong, I can feel it but I don't know
I got a gut feelin', this isn't how I was meant to go
Three pounds, two ounces and two months premature
To the incubator, is my baby gon' make it, they aren't sure
Automatically I placed the blame onto my health
Hell, I'm the father, I should blame this on myself
Was it something I smoked, did I eat or did I drink it?
Or was I doing something without God damn thinking?
Watchin' her breath through her hose in her nose
What's this machine and what's that shit on her toes
tears fallin' down me and my wifes eyes, we can bearly see
I'm prayin' and I'm askin' why he do this to me?

You,..
You, need to know, baby.
I'd..I'd.
Do anything,NO!
I'd die for you.
Lay down my life,
for you.

March the 2nd, 1999
The year and the date, I got my little mine
I'm feelin' how my father felt and his father felt
It's like a lil me in the flesh
He got my blood and my heart in his chest
Needless to say, I love him to death
Teach him if he disrespect me, I'll still love him to death
Left to go out of town straight after he was born
Got a record deal three months later, and daddy was gone
It's like I'm tryin' to raise my baby up, over the phone
He grown up, don't know my face when he see it but know my tone
I'm up at night, thinkin', does he know who daddy is?
I'm real close to sayin' 'I'm goin' home, fuck the showbiz'
But his momma tell me, stay there and do what you do
Cause little baby Juniour wants to be just like you
Can't stop sayin' at school 'My daddy a rap star with a 10 man crew'

Just remember baby boy
I love you
I'd die for you
Lay down my life for you
