Hailie's Song
[00:03.15] Da-da, da-da
[00:05.90] Yo, I can't sing, but
[00:09.15] I feel like singing
[00:11.40] I wanna fuckin' sing
[00:15.15] 'Cause I'm happy
[00:17.40] Yeah, I'm happy
[00:21.15] I got my baby back
[00:23.40] Yo, check it out
[00:26.90] Some days I sit starin' out the window
[00:32.90] Watchin' this world pass me by
[00:38.65] Sometimes I think there's nothin' to live for
[00:44.65] I almost break down and cry
[00:50.65] Sometimes I think I'm crazy, I'm crazy, oh, so crazy
[00:56.40] Why am I here? Am I just wastin' my time?
[01:02.40] But then I see my baby, suddenly I'm not crazy
[01:08.40] It all makes sense when I look into her eyes, oh, no
[01:13.40] 'Cause sometimes (Fuck) it feels like (I was scared) the world's on my shoulders
[01:20.15] Everyone's leanin' on me
[01:25.40] ‘Cause sometimes it feels like the world's almost over
[01:31.90] But then she comes back to me
[01:38.15] My baby girl keeps gettin' older
[01:43.90] I watch her grow up with pride
[01:49.90] People make jokes ‘cause they don't understand me
[01:55.90] They just don't see my real side
[02:01.65] I act like shit don't faze me, inside it drives me crazy
[02:07.65] My insecurities could eat me alive
[02:13.65] But then I see my baby, suddenly I'm not crazy
[02:19.40] It all makes sense when I look into her eyes, oh, no
[02:24.65] ‘Cause sometimes it feels like the world's on my shoulders
[02:31.40] Everyone's leanin' on me
[02:36.65] ‘Cause sometimes it feels like the world's almost over
[02:43.15] But then she comes back to me
[02:48.65] Man, if I could sing, I'd keep singin' this song to my daughter
[02:51.40] If I could hit the notes, I'd blow somethin' as long as my father
[02:54.40] To show her how I feel about her, how proud I am that I got her
[02:57.40] God, I'm a daddy, I'm so glad that her mom didn't *reh tnaw*
[03:00.65] Now, you probably get this picture from my public persona
[03:03.16] That I'm a pistol-packin' drug addict who bags on his momma
[03:06.15] But I wanna just take this time out to be perfectly honest
[03:09.15] ‘Cause there's a lot of shit I keep bottled that hurts deep inside of my soul
[03:12.65] And just know that I grow colder the older I grow
[03:14.90] This boulder on my shoulder gets heavy and harder to hold
[03:17.90] And this load is like the weight of the world and I think my neck is breakin'
[03:21.40] Should I just give up or try to live up to these expectations?
[03:23.90] Now look, I love my daughter more than life in itself
[03:26.65] But I got a wife that's determined to make my life livin' hell
[03:29.65] But I handle it well, given the circumstances I'm dealt
[03:32.65] So many chances, man, it's too bad, coulda had someone else
[03:35.65] But the years that I've wasted is nothin' to the tears that I've tasted
[03:38.65] So here's what I'm facin': three felonies, six years of probation
[03:41.90] I've went to jail for this woman, I've been to bat for this woman
[03:44.65] I've taken bats to people's backs, bent over backwards for this woman
[03:47.90] Man, I shoulda seen it comin', what'd I stick my penis up in?
[03:50.90] Wouldn't have ripped the prenup up if I'da seen what she was fuckin'
[03:53.65] But fuck it, it's over, there's no more reason to cry no more
[03:56.65] I got my baby, maybe, the only lady that I adore
[03:59.65] Hailie! So sayonara, try tomorrow, nice to know ya
[04:02.90] Our baby's traveled back to the arms of her rightful owner
[04:05.65] And suddenly it seems like my shoulder blades have just shifted
[04:08.40] It's like the greatest gift you can get, the weight has been lifted, and—
[04:11.65] Now it don't feel like the world's on my shoulders
[04:17.90] Everyone's leanin' on me
[04:23.40] 'Cause my baby knows that her daddy's a soldier
[04:29.90] Nothin' can take her from me
[04:36.15] Wooo! Told you I can't sing
[04:40.65] Oh, well—I tried
[04:44.65] Hailie, 'member when I said
[04:48.15] If you ever need anything, Daddy would be right there?
[04:52.90] Guess what—Daddy's here
[04:56.40] And I ain't goin' nowhere, baby
[04:58.40] I love you (*smooch*)
