This song is dedicated to all the responsible
brothers other there Whos how love and support
to their children I'd like to say thank
you Cuz I have a very important man in my
life He means the world to me He helped
make into the strong woman I am today I'm
talkin about my Daddy
Verse One:
I
think back to the first time I messed up You
knew that I need to be But you couldn't
chastise me Daddy's little girl Most
precious of all You loved me more than
anything Your real life babydoll Bounced me
on your knee Taught me how to throw my set
up Said you ain't got no brothers Fight
dirty Don't take nothin Saw you bustin your
butt to keep the bills paid Saw you hustlin for
extras For more pay you made a way And tried
to keep us happy up in the house Cuz you wasn't
tryin to see Your queen or your princess
pout Doubtin out sometimes But you tried to
hide your pain And be a tru playa in this white
man's game Never called my mama out of her
name Showed respect Never put your hands on
her Even when she backed you in a corner So
Iwant to say you are appreciated And this love
song is dedicated to my daddy
Chorus:
repeat 2X
Thank you Daddy I know that
I'm blessed To have a father like you Cuz
you've done your best Under so much stress in
the crazy world God knows you tried Even
when they got your hands tied
Verse
Two:
Remember when I came home seventeen
and pregnant And unexpectedly But your
disappointment never did show You looked me in
my teary eyes Then you smiled Put yoru arms
around me Said my baby's giving me a
grandchild Showed my boyfriend love
too Didn't come preachin or beefin Just
said you know what you gotta do And when he
didn't You didn't rub it in You just did
his part And tried to heal my young broken
heart I thought the things you said way back
for certain was jus to try and keep me a
virgin But with all the hurtin and the drama I
been through I wish I would have listened to
you Cuz it was all true Daddy the man who
loves me unconditionally Thru thick and
thin You'll always stand by me (fo
sho) Daddy I love you with all my
heart You're my souljah My hero My
shining star Thank you
Chorus: repeat
2X
Verse Three:
I gotta give love
to all the real strong brothers Responsible
daddies Even if you're not with your baby's
mothers Your support Your love and your
time Helps keep your children in the right
frame of mind And to the single fathers out
there Much respect I'm a single parent
too So I know where you're at And where
you're coming from baby But it's gonna get
better Hold your head through the stormy
weather And stand your ground firm And all
my sisters with good men at your side It sure
feels good to see the ??? family rise I've
cried joyful tears Happy as can be To see
man woman and child As one family See the
cards are stacked up against us y'all So we
gotta work it out Can't let em see us
fall But most of all Thank you God Cuz
for years I had an example of what a real man
is My daddy
Chorus: repeat 2X
Oh
I wanna thank you for all you've done for me I
wanna thank you
