Ghetts – Fatherhood lyrics

[Verse 1]
11 months ago
My girlfriend told me she pregnant
I quit smoking weed the same day
Hugged her and showed my affection
I wan' be the world's best dad
So I'm guilty of over-protection
I feel like the wealthiest man
Now, I ain't my only reflection
I see me in my daughter
Characteristics I can carry my kid with
A smile on my face and carriage assistance
I handle my business
The lord is my witness
And now I know why her mum gave me a hard time
Lord, forgive me
I had my parents worried every night
Now I feel like karma's gonna get me back
Now I have my own child
I've been enlightened
I can be the father some never had
I ain't gonna lie
At first I was frightened
Now I'm like 'there ain't one better dad'
CJ told me the level of excitement can't be explained
Not by any man, and he weren't lying
Cause I ain't never felt how I feel right now
I feel like crying
I ain't never feel like I feel right now
I used to feel like dying
Now, I got a little girl I can live for
And I'mma give my little girl what she wish for

[Hook]
Here we're lying
I feel like crying
I used to feel like dying
Now I got a little girl I can live for
And I'mma give my little girl what she wish for

[Verse 2]
Three weeks ago my little girl had an operation
The op went well, then they had her under observation
But the nurse on the night shift gave her an overdose, she's in the wrong occupation
My little girl was alright but we still want some compensation
I see grief for my daughter, tubes coming out of her hands and feet
Little madam asleep in the incubator
And I ain't ever prayed so much in my life
Life of an entertainer, they wanna keep the old Justin alive
But I don't wanna entertain you, my little girl's gold dust in my eyes
And I know that I love her dearly, I love her more as each day goes by
And I love my baby mother sincerely, that's why I ain't the same old I
If you know me, you can see that clearly, I ain't a player and the game knows why
This kind of love don't come around yearly, Unique told me the flame won't die
And he weren't lying, cause I ain't never felt how I feel like now
I feel like crying
I ain't never feel like I feel right now
I used to feel like dying
Now, I got a little girl I can live for
And I'mma give my little girl what she wish for

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
All I know
Is I wanna watch my daughter grow
And all I hope
Is I'm alive when my daughter evolves
All I own
Is a clean heart and a tortured soul
And all my goals
I've achieved harder according to most people
I'm already a made man, look how many haters I've made fans
Made grands and I still never appreciated my life
Until I created a child, she's amazing
The first time that I held her
My knees were shaking
The first time I saw her smile
I said "she's an angel"
If I ain't got a place in heaven, I'm pissed
Cause I've already caught me a glimpse
I already spend every day where the devil exists
And I know what these sorcerers think
I gotta protect her from the life of measuring risk
She'll be talking before I can blink
Nathan told me the kids are developing quick
And my daughter has been since, so he weren't lying
Cause I ain't never felt how I feel right now
I feel like crying
Cause I ain't never felt how I feel right now
I used to feel like dying
Now, I got a little girl I can live for
And I'mma give my little girl what she wish for

[Hook]
