yesterday morning was crazy
i had to come to terms with the fact that it's not a maybe
she not my lover like billie jean but the kid is mine
sandi used to tell me all it takes is one time
and all it took was one time
and both times were nothing like the new times
i'm out here on front lines just trying to make sure that i see him sometimes
i used to challenge my parents on every album
now i'm embarrassed to tell them i ended up as a co-parent
always promised the family unit
i wanted it to be different because i've been through it
but this is the harsh truth now
fairy tales are saved for the bedtime stories i tell you now
i don't want you worry about whose house you live at
who did what to who 'fore you got here
i'm too proud to let that come between me and you now
realize i got to think for two now
i promise if i'm not dead then i'm dedicated
this the first positive dna we ever celebrated
i can't forget the looks on they faces
got the news in miami that we all now got ones that we raisin'
rose and baccarat out for our cheers to the next generation
but this champagne toast is short-lived
i got an empty crib in my empty crib
introduced you to saint nick
i think he must've brought you like twenty gifts
your mother say you growing so fast that they don't even really fit
i still had to get it for my boy though
you haven't met your grandfather yet
he probably coulda did stand-up
but at the same time he's a stand up
and that's how you gonna be when it's time to man up
october baby for irony sake
i got this 11 tatted for somebody
i can't wait to get a hunnid more
they said that in two weeks you're supposed to come in town
hopefully by the time you hear this me and your mother will have come around instead of always cutting each other down
we'll talk more when you hear this
i need shelter from the rain
i'm changing from boy to a man
i need shelter from the rain
i'm changing from boy to a man
i need shelter from the rain
i'm changing from boy to a man
