Why You Wanna Keep Me From My Baby

My first son, isn't he beautiful?

I'm not gonna let nothin', I mean nothin'

Come between me and him

God, I thank you for my seed

And for that, I'll raise him right, forever

Representin' for the fathers

That can't see their seeds

Don't worry 'bout it, trust it'll be alright

Ya know what I mean?

Ya feel me? Listen up

Seems like only yesterday

When I first held my baby

I remember just a feeling of joy

Well, taken there in an instant

Tried my best to fight against it

Just to face the fact, she don't want me around

After ten long years, I refuse to believe

How could this woman take my baby and run?

No matter what, I'm his father

Have every right to encounter

I wanna spend some time with my baby boy

You know, so tell me

Why you wanna keep me from my baby?

Sittin' here drivin' me crazy

I never did nothin' wrong to my child

You say you wanna keep it straight business

Tell me girl what is this?

I know I did my half for my child

As I look into the mirror

So many times I will dream of wakin' up

And standing at your front door, oh yeah

Just as I was about to knock

Somethin' made me say "stop"

You need to walk away and it will work out

And I cried, I cried

Lord knows I tried to be the bigger man

Not let myself do something wrong

The pain I feel to be prolonged

And I'm still shocked, how could you be so cruel?

If you were me, what would you do?

Don't you think he has the right to find out

That his daddy loves him, too

Why you wanna keep me from my baby?

Sittin' here drivin' me crazy

I never did nothin' wrong to my child

You say you wanna keep it straight business

Tell me girl what is this?

I know I did my half for my child

Why do this to me?

What did I ever do to you?

Now I don't care, I'm gonna be there

I wanna know my child

Why you wanna keep me from my baby?

Sittin' here drivin' me crazy

I never did nothin' wrong to my child

You say you wanna keep it straight business

Tell me girl what is this?

I know I did my half for my child

Yo, son, I just want you to know

That I don't care what's goin' on

In your mother's personal life

All I care about is you and I love you

And I will love you 'til the day I die

And just remember one thing, I'm your father
