Thirty-two, you thirty-two today
Tryin' to make it to the hospital through three inches of snow
I'm up at night like do he know who his daddy is
(I would die for you)
Something's goin' wrong I can tell but I dont know
Don't you know I'd die for you?
Don't you know I'd die for you?
Nah you turning what thirty-two
Teach him if he disrespect me, I'm a love him till death
Yea
I love you Daddy
Don't you know I'd die for you?
I'd lay down my life for you
(I would die for you)
I'd lay down my life for you
I'd lay down my life for you
Watchin' her breathe through a hose in her nose
I don't think today your birthday
(I would die for you)
You gonna be here tonight?
Okay I will be there soon alright?
Daddy!
See, I used to hold you in the palm of my hand
Left to go outta town right after he was born
(I would die for you)
"I wanna be just like my daddy now"
So he can have a better life than I had
No boo boo, I ain't gonna be there tonight
Yes
The year and the date I got my little mine
Yes very much, I just wished you could be here
I'd lay down my life for you
(You)
And just to see you pull through, shit I knew you'd pull through
Don't you know I'd die for you?
Into the incubator, is she gonna make it? They ain't sure
I remember Feburary 27, 1994
(I would die for you)
I'm real close to sayin', "Fuck the showbiz!"
Then what you called me for?
But when I hear him call his daddy now
Whats this EKG machine, whats this shit on her toes?
You have been away for a long time
I'd lay down my life for you
Oh, I don't know I just called to see what you's doing
Hell I'm a father mayne, I placed the blame on myself
Got a record deal, three months later daddy was gone
Don't you know I'd die for you?
You sure?
Don't you know I'd die for you?
Yea, but I miss you though, you miss me?
It feel like it, don't it?
Its like I'm tryin' to raise him over the phone
Word?
No I am turning ten, Daddy
What you turn today? Nineteen?
(I would die for you)
(You)
I got this feelin' in my gut this ain't how it supposed to go
Don't you know I'd die for you?
I'd lay down my life for you
(I would die for you)
And his father must have felt to see his self
He got my blood and my heart in his chest
Was it somethin' that I smoked, did I eat, or did I drink it?
Three pounds, two ounces and two months premature
Hope he forgive me for the sacrifice
Or was it somethin' I was doin that I did or did not think it?
It's like a little me in the flesh
He barely know my face when he see it but he know my tone
(You)
I'd lay down my life for you
I'm prayin' and I'm askin' why he do this to me?
I guess I felt how my father felt and his father felt
Needless to say man I love him to death
Automatically, I placed the blame on my health
I'd lay down my life for you
Aww
March the 2nd, 1999
And when I hear him tell his friends
It's 94, I'm 85 so I'm spooked as can be
Don't you know I'd die for you?
