| This song is dedicated to all the responsible brothers other there
|
| Whos how love and support to their children
|
| I’d like to say thank you
|
| Cuz I have a very important man in my life
|
| He means the world to me
|
| He helped make into the strong woman I am today
|
| I’m talkin about my Daddy
|
| I think back to the first time I messed up
|
| You knew that I need to be
|
| But you couldn’t chastise me
|
| Daddy’s little girl
|
| Most precious of all
|
| You loved me more than anything
|
| Your real life babydoll
|
| Bounced me on your knee
|
| Taught me how to throw my set up
|
| Said you ain’t got no brothers
|
| Fight dirty
|
| Don’t take nothin
|
| Saw you bustin your butt to keep the bills paid
|
| Saw you hustlin for extras
|
| For more pay you made a way
|
| And tried to keep us happy up in the house
|
| Cuz you wasn’t tryin to see
|
| Your queen or your princess pout
|
| Doubtin out sometimes
|
| But you tried to hide your pain
|
| And be a tru playa in this white man’s game
|
| Never called my mama out of her name
|
| Showed respect
|
| Never put your hands on her
|
| Even when she backed you in a corner |
| So Iwant to say you are appreciated
|
| And this love song is dedicated to my daddy
|
| Thank you Daddy
|
| I know that I’m blessed
|
| To have a father like you
|
| Cuz you’ve done your best
|
| Under so much stress in the crazy world
|
| God knows you tried
|
| Even when they got your hands tied
|
| Remember when I came home seventeen and pregnant
|
| And unexpectedly
|
| But your disappointment never did show
|
| You looked me in my teary eyes
|
| Then you smiled
|
| Put yoru arms around me
|
| Said my baby’s giving me a grandchild
|
| Showed my boyfriend love too
|
| Didn’t come preachin or beefin
|
| Just said you know what you gotta do
|
| And when he didn’t
|
| You didn’t rub it in
|
| You just did his part
|
| And tried to heal my young broken heart
|
| I thought the things you said way back for certain
|
| Was jus to try and keep me a virgin
|
| But with all the hurtin and the drama I been through
|
| I wish I would have listened to you
|
| Cuz it was all true
|
| Daddy the man who loves me unconditionally
|
| Thru thick and thin
|
| You’ll always stand by me (fo sho)
|
| Daddy I love you with all my heart |
| You’re my souljah
|
| My hero
|
| My shining star
|
| Thank you
|
| I gotta give love to all the real strong brothers
|
| Responsible daddies
|
| Even if you’re not with your baby’s mothers
|
| Your support
|
| Your love and your time
|
| Helps keep your children in the right frame of mind
|
| And to the single fathers out there
|
| Much respect
|
| I’m a single parent too
|
| So I know where you’re at
|
| And where you’re coming from baby
|
| But it’s gonna get better
|
| Hold your head through the stormy weather
|
| And stand your ground firm
|
| And all my sisters with good men at your side
|
| It sure feels good to see the ??? |
| family rise
|
| I’ve cried joyful tears Happy as can be
|
| To see man woman and child As one family
|
| See the cards are stacked up against us y’all
|
| So we gotta work it out Can’t let em see us fall
|
| But most of all Thank you God
|
| Cuz for years I had an example of what a real man is
|
| My daddy
|
| Oh I wanna thank you for all you’ve done for me
|
| I wanna thank you |
