Halie's Song

Yo, I can't sing, I feel like singing
I want to fuckin' sing
'Cause I'm happy, yeah, I'm happy, ha ha
I got my baby back, yo, check it out

Some days I sit, starin' out the window
Watchin' this world pass me by
Sometimes I think, there's nothin' to live for
I almost break down and cry

Sometimes I think I'm crazy, I'm crazy, oh so crazy
Why am I here? Am I just wastin' my time?
But then I see my baby, suddenly I'm not crazy
It all makes sense when I look into her eyes, oh no

'Cause sometimes it feels like the world's on my shoulders
Everyone's leanin' on me
'Cause sometimes it feels like the world's almost over
But then she comes back to me

My baby girl, keeps gettin' older
I watch her grow up with pride
People make jokes, 'cause they don't understand me
They just don't see my real side

I act like shit don't phase me, inside it drives me crazy
My insecurities could eat me alive
But then I see my baby, suddenly I'm not crazy
It all makes sense when I look into her eyes, oh no

'Cause sometimes it feels like the world's on my shoulders
Everyone's leanin' on me
'Cause sometimes it feels like the world's almost over
But then she comes back to me

Man if I could sing, I'd keep singin' this song to my daughter
If I could hit the notes, I'd blow somethin' as long as my father
To show her how I feel about her, how proud I am that I got her
God, I'm a daddy, I'm so glad that her mom didn't

Now you probably get this picture from my public persona
That I'ma pistol packin' drug addict who bags on his mama
But I wanna to just take this time out to be perfectly honest
'Cause there's a lot of shit I keep bottled
That hurts deep inside of my soul

And just know that I grow colder the older I grow
This boulder on my shoulder gets heavy and harder to hold
And this load is like the weight of the world
And I think my neck is breakin'
Should I just give up or try to live up to these expectations?

Now look, I love my daughter more than life in itself
But I got a wife that's determined to make my life livin' hell
But I handle it well, given the circumstances I'm dealt
So many chances, man, it's too bad, coulda had someone else

But the years that I've wasted is nothin' to the tears that I've tasted
So here's what I'm facin' three felonies, six years of probation
I've went to jail for this woman, I've been to bat for this woman
I've taken bats to people's backs, bent over backwards for this woman

Man, I should have seen it comin', what'd I stick my penis up in?
Wouldn't have ripped the pre-nup up if I'da seen what she was fuckin'
But fuck it, it's over, there's no more reason to cry no more
I got my baby, baby the only lady that I adore, Hailie

So sayonara, try tomorrow, nice to know ya
Our baby's traveled back to the arms of her rightful owner
And suddenly it seems like my shoulder blades have just shifted
It's like the greatest gift you can get, the weight has been lifted

And now it don't feel like the world's on my shoulders
Everyone's leanin' on me
'Cause my baby knows that her daddy's a soldier
Nothing can take her from me

I told you I can't sing, oh well, I tried
Hailie, 'member when I said if you ever need anything
Daddy will be right there? Well guess what?
Daddy's here and I ain't goin' nowhere baby, I love you
