[00:02.54]Here we go
[00:06.61]Yeah
[00:10.47]Yesterday morning was crazy
[00:11.81]I had to come to terms with the fact that it's not a maybe
[00:14.32]That **** is in stone, sealed and signed
[00:17.04]She not my lover like Billie Jean but the kid is mine
[00:19.51]Sandy used to tell me all it takes it one time,
[00:22.04]And all it took was one time
[00:23.31]****, we only met two times, two times
[00:25.85]And both times were nothing like the new times
[00:28.52]Now it's rough times
[00:29.92]I'm out here on front lines just making sure I see him sometimes
[00:33.66]It's breaking my spirit
[00:35.79]Single father, I hate when I hear it
[00:38.43]I used to challenge my parents on every album
[00:41.22]Now I'm embarrassed to tell them I ended up as a co-parent
[00:44.09]Always promised the family unit
[00:46.18]I wanted it to be different because I've been through it
[00:49.39]But this is the harsh truth now
[00:51.74]Fairy tales are saved for the bedtime stories I tell you now
[00:55.04]I don't want you worry about whose house you live at
[00:57.61]Or who loves you more, or who's not there
[00:59.50]Who did what to who 'fore you got here
[01:01.39]Now, look, I'm too proud to let that come between me and you now
[01:04.56]Realize I got a thing for two now, I gotta make it, I better make it
[01:08.76]I promise if I'm not there then I'm dedicated
[01:11.19]This the first positive DNA we ever celebrated
[01:14.50]I can't forget the looks on they faces
[01:16.49]Got the news in Miami that we all now got ones that we raisin'
[01:19.76]Tell Jello bring some, uh,
[01:21.68]RoséAnd Baccarat out for our cheers to the next generation
[01:25.62]But this champagne toast is short-lived
[01:28.50]I got an empty crib in my empty crib
[01:30.52]I only met you one time, introduced you to Saint Nick
[01:33.83]I think he must've brought you like twenty gifts
[01:35.84]Your mother say you growing so fast that they don't even really fit
[01:39.35]But man, you know,
[01:40.07]I still had to get it for my boy though, you know
[01:42.44]You haven't met your grandfather, that ***** a trip
[01:45.34]He probably coulda did stand-up
[01:47.84]But at the same time he's a stand up
[01:51.16]And that's how you gonna be when it's time to man up
[01:53.72]October baby for irony sake, of course
[01:56.44]I got this 11 tatted for somebody, now it's yours
[01:59.44]And believe me, I can't wait to get a hunnid more
[02:01.62]Sorry I'm vintage, tryna cover ground
[02:04.21]They said that in two weeks you're supposed to come in town
[02:06.83]Hopefully by the time you hear this me
[02:09.04]And your mother will have come around
[02:10.40]Instead of always cutting each other down
[02:13.48]God willing, I got a good feeling
[02:17.65]You got a good spirit
[02:20.19]We'll talk more when you hear this
[02:23.65]My G
[03:03.40]No one to guide me
[03:08.26]I'm all alone
[03:10.86]No one to cry on
[03:18.35]I need shelter from the rain
[03:23.31]To ease the pain
[03:25.77]I'm changing from boy to a man
[03:33.80]No one to guide me
[03:38.61]I'm all alone
[03:41.28]No one to cry on
[03:48.37]I need shelter from the rain
[03:53.82]To ease the pain
[03:56.39]I'm changing from boy to a man
[04:08.47]I'm all alone
[04:11.70]No one to cry on
[04:18.91]I need shelter from the rain
[04:24.30]To ease the pain
[04:26.57]I'm changing from boy to a man
