Now dad this is a very sensitive subject 00:11
Just the two of us, oh, oh, yeah 00:22
Just the two of us 00:28
(Just the two of us) 00:32
Just the two of us 00:34
(Just the two of us) 00:35
From the first time the doctor placed you in my arms 00:35
I knew I'd meet death 'fore I'd let you meet harm 00:36
Although questions arose in my mind, would I be man enough? 00:38
Against wrong, choose right and be standin' up? 00:41
From the hospital that first night 00:43
Took a hour just to get the car seat in right 00:46
People drivin' all fast, got me kinda upset 00:48
Got you home safe, placed you in your basonette 00:50
That night I don't think one wink I slept 00:53
As I slipped out my bed, to your crib I crept 00:55
Touched your head gently, felt my heart melt 00:58
'Cause I know I loved you more than life itself 01:01
Then to my knees, and I begged the Lord please 01:03
Let me be a good daddy, all he needs 01:06
Love, knowledge, discipline too 01:08
I pledge my life to you 01:11
Just the two of us, we can make it if we try 01:13
Just the two of us (just the two of us) 01:18
Just the two of us, building castles in the sky 01:22
Just the two of us, you and I 01:28
Five years old, bringin' comedy 01:34
Every time I look at you I think man, a little me 01:36
Just like me, wait and see gonna be tall 01:39
Makes me laugh 'cause you got your dads ears an all 01:41
Sometimes I wonder, what you gon' be? 01:45
A general, a doctor, maybe a MC 01:46
Haha, I wanna kiss you all the time 01:50
But I will test that butt when you cut outta line, true that 01:51
Uh-uh-uh, why you do that? 01:54
I try to be a tough dad, but you be makin' me laugh 01:56
Crazy joy, when I see the eyes of my baby boy 01:59
I pledge to you, I will always do 02:02
Everything I can 02:05
Show you how to be a man 02:06
Dignity, integrity, honor and 02:07
I don't mind if you lose, 'long as you came with it 02:10
And you can cry, ain't no shame it it 02:13
It didn't work out with me and your mom 02:15
But yo, push come to shove, you was conceived in love 02:18
So if the world attacks, and you slide off track 02:20
Remember one fact, I got your back 02:23
Just the two of us, we can make it if we try 02:24
Just the two of us (just the two of us) 02:29
Just the two of us, building castles in the sky 02:32
Just the two of us, you and I 02:39
It's a full-time job to be a good dad 02:44
You got so much more stuff than I had 02:47
I gotta study just to keep with the changin' times 02:52
101 Dalmations on your CD-ROM 02:53
See me-I'm, tryin' to pretend I know 02:54
On my PC where that CD go 02:58
But yo, ain't nothin' promised, one day I'll be gone 03:00
Feel the strife, but trust life does go wrong 03:02
But just in case, it's my place to impart 03:06
One day some girl's gonna break your heart 03:09
And, ooh, ain't no pain like from the opposite sex 03:10
Gonna hurt bad, but don't take it out on the next, son 03:13
Throughout life people will make you mad 03:15
Disrespect you and treat you bad 03:18
Let God deal with the things they do 03:20
'Cause hate in your heart will consume you too 03:25
Always tell the truth, say your prayers 03:26
Hold doors, pull out chairs, easy on the swears 03:28
You're living proof that dreams do come true 03:31
I love you and I'm here for you 03:33
Just the two of us, we can make it if we try 03:35
Just the two of us (just the two of us) 03:39

Lyrics:

[English]

Now dad this is a very sensitive subject

Just the two of us, oh, oh, yeah

Just the two of us

(Just the two of us)

Just the two of us

(Just the two of us)

From the first time the doctor placed you in my arms

I knew I'd meet death 'fore I'd let you meet harm

Although questions arose in my mind, would I be man enough?

Against wrong, choose right and be standin' up?

From the hospital that first night

Took a hour just to get the car seat in right

People drivin' all fast, got me kinda upset

Got you home safe, placed you in your basonette

That night I don't think one wink I slept

As I slipped out my bed, to your crib I crept

Touched your head gently, felt my heart melt

'Cause I know I loved you more than life itself

Then to my knees, and I begged the Lord please

Let me be a good daddy, all he needs

Love, knowledge, discipline too

I pledge my life to you

Just the two of us, we can make it if we try

Just the two of us (just the two of us)

Just the two of us, building castles in the sky

Just the two of us, you and I

Five years old, bringin' comedy

Every time I look at you I think man, a little me

Just like me, wait and see gonna be tall

Makes me laugh 'cause you got your dads ears an all

Sometimes I wonder, what you gon' be?

A general, a doctor, maybe a MC

Haha, I wanna kiss you all the time

But I will test that butt when you cut outta line, true that

Uh-uh-uh, why you do that?

I try to be a tough dad, but you be makin' me laugh

Crazy joy, when I see the eyes of my baby boy

I pledge to you, I will always do

Everything I can

Show you how to be a man

Dignity, integrity, honor and

I don't mind if you lose, 'long as you came with it

And you can cry, ain't no shame it it

It didn't work out with me and your mom

But yo, push come to shove, you was conceived in love

So if the world attacks, and you slide off track

Remember one fact, I got your back

Just the two of us, we can make it if we try

Just the two of us (just the two of us)

Just the two of us, building castles in the sky

Just the two of us, you and I

It's a full-time job to be a good dad

You got so much more stuff than I had

I gotta study just to keep with the changin' times

101 Dalmations on your CD-ROM

See me-I'm, tryin' to pretend I know

On my PC where that CD go

But yo, ain't nothin' promised, one day I'll be gone

Feel the strife, but trust life does go wrong

But just in case, it's my place to impart

One day some girl's gonna break your heart

And, ooh, ain't no pain like from the opposite sex

Gonna hurt bad, but don't take it out on the next, son

Throughout life people will make you mad

Disrespect you and treat you bad

Let God deal with the things they do

'Cause hate in your heart will consume you too

Always tell the truth, say your prayers

Hold doors, pull out chairs, easy on the swears

You're living proof that dreams do come true

I love you and I'm here for you

Just the two of us, we can make it if we try

Just the two of us (just the two of us)

Just the two of us, building castles in the sky

Just the two of us, you and I (can't nothin' hold us down)

Just the two of us (just the two of us)

Just the two of us, building castles in the sky

Just the two of us, you and I

Just the two of us (just me and you)

I'm always here for you (look over your shoulder, I'll be there)

Whatever you need just call on me (we gon' ride)

Whatever you need, I'll be there for you anytime

You and I (true that, true that)

Just the two of us (just the two of us)

Just the two of us (just the two of us)

You and I (for the rest of your life)

Just the two of us
