wow look what ive done made my girl a mum and a brand new son
how you doing little fella my names dad, no need to cry now dont be sad
im gonna take good care of you starting today i swear to you,your never go without
might not always get what you want but anything you need youll get no doubt
all you gotta do is shout and ill be right there or there abouts cos i really
care about you and i dont ever want you to go through when i was a little you
no father figure to look up to just one woman who provides to food but cant afford to buy
you shoes, nah not like that boy im here for life and i want your one to be nice so
im gonna stick by your mums side and stay right there till the day that i die ill provide everything you need to succeed aint gotta worry bout a thing
cos your daddy raps and sings and we he makes tracks it brings money and expensive things
to the table cos hes big and hes signed to a label likes to take everything.... playble?
anyway little man you look tired and my parking ticket's expired so im going outside to sort it out
smoke a snout be back in a while

chorus
Don't you know that I'll be around to guide you
Through your weakest moments to leave them behind you
Returning nightmares only shadows
We'll cast some light and you'll be alright for now

hey son dont cry i know its hard but you have to try hold it together and accept that i have lived my live
and now im gonna die of course i wish i could turn back time before my lungs became cancerous, if i knew then
what i know now i woulda put up with the anxiousness that you feel when you need a snout but shudda wudda cudda
cant help us now so lets not waste the time i have left especially when ive got alot to get off my chest
need to tell you this now, when you was born i made a vow crossed my heart and hoped to die looked to the sky
and swore that i would never let you down, so sorry that i did when you was a kid and i spent months being on tour
no son it aint alright i really should have been there more been there for you when you needed me instead of going
out and cheating repeatedly on your poor old mother yeah i really do love her its a shame i only realise now
that theres a tube in my arm that a drip goes sitting here waiting till this shit to go down who would have thought
out of cassel and me that old mother fucker would outlive though i never went deaf like jamie G or fucked my liver
with henry C im still gonna die before i get to see my grandkids grow up to be old enough to have a drink with me but hey thats life
whats that thats nice cant you see it that light coming from the ceiling shining bright son i think im about
to die i feel like im going up up to the sky i thought id be afraid but i feel alright my lungs feel good they
dont feel tight son i love you please dont cry going to heaven dont mean that ill die im gonna live forever down
deep inside your heart until it stops and they send you up here but until that time your gonna be fine ill watch
over you from here.
