Ghetts - Fatherhood lyrics

[Verse 1] 11 months ago My girlfriend told me she pregnant I quit smoking weed the same day Hugged her and showed my affection I wan' be the world's best dad So I'm guilty of over-protection I feel like the wealthiest man Now, I ain't my only reflection I see me in my daughter Characteristics I can carry my kid with A smile on my face and carriage a**istance I handle my business The lord is my witness And now I know why her mum gave me a hard time Lord, forgive me I had my parents worried every night Now I feel like karma's gonna get me back Now I have my own child I've been enlightened I can be the father some never had I ain't gonna lie At first I was frightened Now I'm like 'there ain't one better dad' CJ told me the level of excitement can't be explained Not by any man, and he weren't lying Cause I ain't never felt how I feel right now I feel like crying I ain't never feel like I feel right now I used to feel like dying Now, I got a little girl I can live for And I'mma give my little girl what she wish for [Hook] Here we're lying I feel like crying I used to feel like dying Now I got a little girl I can live for And I'mma give my little girl what she wish for [Verse 2] Three weeks ago my little girl had an operation The op went well, then they had her under observation But the nurse on the night shift gave her an overdose, she's in the wrong occupation My little girl was alright but we still want some compensation I see grief for my daughter, tubes coming out of her hands and feet Little madam asleep in the incubator And I ain't ever prayed so much in my life Life of an entertainer, they wanna keep the old Justin alive But I don't wanna entertain you, my little girl's gold dust in my eyes And I know that I love her dearly, I love her more as each day goes by And I love my baby mother sincerely, that's why I ain't the same old I If you know me, you can see that clearly, I ain't a player and the game knows why This kind of love don't come around yearly, Unique told me the flame won't die And he weren't lying, cause I ain't never felt how I feel like now I feel like crying I ain't never feel like I feel right now I used to feel like dying Now, I got a little girl I can live for And I'mma give my little girl what she wish for [Hook] [Verse 3] All I know Is I wanna watch my daughter grow And all I hope Is I'm alive when my daughter evolves All I own Is a clean heart and a tortured soul And all my goals I've achieved harder according to most people I'm already a made man, look how many haters I've made fans Made grands and I still never appreciated my life Until I created a child, she's amazing The first time that I held her My knees were shaking The first time I saw her smile I said "she's an angel" If I ain't got a place in heaven, I'm pissed Cause I've already caught me a glimpse I already spend every day where the devil exists And I know what these sorcerers think I gotta protect her from the life of measuring risk She'll be talking before I can blink Nathan told me the kids are developing quick And my daughter has been since, so he weren't lying Cause I ain't never felt how I feel right now I feel like crying Cause I ain't never felt how I feel right now I used to feel like dying Now, I got a little girl I can live for And I'mma give my little girl what she wish for [Hook]
