Daddy I feel that I must talk to you are you sure this is what you want to do
No it's not for us kids that I beg you to stay
Please don't just walk out on mama this way
She's mothered your children she's spent her whole life
Trying to be a good mother and wife
And she's stood by you when the rest let you down
Daddy how can you walk out on her now
I'm your oldest daughter my age twenty-three
Your new love is even younger than me
She's young and she's pretty her hands soft as dew
While mama's are withered from working for you
Mom's not young anymore like your new love
But your new love won't love you like my mama does
You've taken her best years so don't leave her now
Please daddy say that you won't let her down
I'm your oldest daughter...

My daddy is a rancher
He's wrangled cattle dang near all his life
He also liked to rodeo
He traveled around with four kids and a wife
Well his old ranch is rocky
But his ropes sail smooth for several years
He worked real hard
And roped real good
And tried to get his ranch out in the clear
He didn't want us kids to rodeo
He wanted more out of life for us
Maybe banking, or a lawyer
Or maybe even driving some old bus
Well that's when we took up singing
And his pride grew greater day by day
And I know his eyes grew misty
The night I sang up on the opry stage
Chorus:
Now his ranch is so much bigger
The the days when he first started
The grass grows now where none used to be
His roping got him started
Cattle prices made it better
And he's trying to get his ranch out in the clear
Five years ago september, he bought more steers and hung up all his
Ropes
But he often tells the stories about the rodeos he won and cowboy jokes
Well it's funny that the first big roping that he won some thirty years
Was the same day that I sang on the stage of the grand old opry show
Repeat chorus
Now he's feeding cattle
Toting hay
And branding the y.o.
And his hired hand's there to help him
And she also cooks their meals when they get home
They built their ranch together
And listening to the kids sing through the years
Well they worked real hard and roped real good and now they got their
Ranch
Out in the clear
Because when a family works together
They finally get their ranch out in the clear
Mother please forgive me
I just had to get out all my pain and suffering
Now that I am done, remember I will always love you
I'm your son
Little child, looking so pretty
Come out and play, I'll be your daddy
Innocent child, looking so sweet
A rape in my eyes and on your flesh I'll eat
You've raped!
I feel dirty
It hurt!
As a child
Tied down!
That's a good boy
And fucked!
Your own child
I scream!
No one hears me
It hurt!
I'm not a liar
My God!
Saw you watching
Mommy why?!
Your own child
It's alright
I didn't touch you there
Mama said she didn't care
I didn't touch you there
That's why mama stopped and stared
I fucking hate you! Mother fucker!
Mother Fucker! I fucking hate you! Fuck You!
You son of a bitch, you fucking ruined my life!
I wanted to die!
I'm sick of it, mother fucker . . . oh oh
Why'd you fuck'n do it to me?
I Hate You!
I Fuck'n Hate You!
I Hate You!
Why?!
His deeds were never published for the public things he did were never done for show
His name was never printed in the paper until about two days ago
He only filed a short form for his taxes no one asked him how he felt about the war
He always had a good word for his neighbor
Now his good words won't be heard anymore
And through the rain I heard the choir singing (Nearer my God to Thee)
Through the mist I saw some children crying and I felt nearer my God to Thee
[ guitar ]
His table was never full of plenty his silverware was never the real thing
But the tears on the faces of his family were just as real as if he been a king
Preacher said he'd always been a good man
But preachers always throw that phrase around
But the tears I tasted gave his words new meaning
Watching old friends puttin' daddy in the ground
And through the rain I heard...
I remember when you use to take me on a
Bike ride everyday on the bayou (You remember that? We were inseparable)
And I remember when you could do no wrong
You'd come home from work and I jumped in your arms when I saw you
I was so happy to see you (I was so excited, so happy to see you)
Because you loved me I overcome
And I'm so proud of what you've become
You've given me such security
No matter what mistakes I make you're there for me
You cure my disappointments and you heal my pain
You understood my fears and you protected me
Treasure every irreplaceable memory and that's why?
I want my unborn son to be like my daddy
I want my husband to be like my daddy
There is no one else like my daddy
And I thank you for loving me
I still remember the expression on your face
When you found out I'd been on a date and had a boyfriend (My first boyfriend, you should have seen your face)
I still remember I caught you crying cause of my tattoo
Could have said Beyonce I told you so
Instead you said you'd get one too (Even my mama said y'all get one just like mine)
Words can't express my boundless gratitude for you
I appreciate what you do
You've given me such security
No matter what mistakes I make you're there for me
You cure my disappointments and you heal my pain
You understand my fears and you protected me
Treasure every extraordinary memory and that's why?
I want my unborn son to be like my daddy
I want my husband to be like my daddy
There is no one else like my daddy
And I thank you for loving me
Even if my man broke my heart today
No matter how much pain I'm in I will be okay
Cause I got a man in my life that can't be replaced
For this love is unconditional it won't go away
I know I'm lucky
Know it ain't easy
For men who take care of their responsibilities
Love is overwhelming
Lord why did you pick me
Can't stop my tears from falling
I love you so much daddy
(Thank you, you've done so much for me. I love you daddy.)
I get so emotional daddy, every time I think of you
I get so emotional daddy, every time I think of you
There is no one else like my daddy
No one else replace my daddy...

Daddy hold me
It seems so very dark tonight
And day
Daddy, I can't sleep
I need you to come and sing to me
That the stars up in the sky
Will shine down gently on the two of us tonight
And soon enough it will be light
We'll hold on tightly to each other, you and I
And I won't cry
Oh Daddy, your baby is weak and calling out your name
Oh my Daddy, oh don't leave me
I beg you, sing your song again
That the stars up in the sky
Will shine down gently on the two of us tonight
And soon enough it will be light
We'll hold on tightly to each other, you and I
And I won't cry or call your name
And I won't
Da, da, da, daddy, daddy, daddy
I'm sure y'all heard about my dad
Da, da, da, daddy, daddy, daddy
This one goes out for everybody that lost somebody
Da, da, da, daddy, daddy, daddy
Be strong
Da, da, da, daddy, daddy, daddy
Now I understand what Scarface meant
When he said I never seen a man cry till I seen a man die
Never in my deepest thoughts that I would imagine
I would be the one carrying a coffin
Yo I feel like a orphan even though I got a mom
I'm the first born so I gotta play strong
Memories of the past bout when we cried when we laughed
It makes it hard, dad, for me to finish write this paragraph
I remember when we all shoved snow frost bites and all
Temperature forty below
You used to call me lazy cause I said it was too cold
But you would go in the crib fix me a fresh cup a cocoa
I can't front
I wish there was a sequel of the sixth sense
So I could see dead people
I'm so hurt, dad
I can't cry no more
But I know that you're knockin on heaven's door
Peace
Da, da, da, daddy, daddy, daddy
Rest in peace, dad
Da, da, da, daddy, daddy, daddy
All my people live on
Da, da, da, daddy, daddy, daddy
Rest in peace, dad
Da, da, da, daddy, daddy, daddy
Look into my eyes
Realize I'm the same man my father was
Y'all can tell by my Pink Cadillac
The way I clean my ride
Old grim tilted to the side
But what I loved most was when the God philosophize
About the philosophies of life in its reality
Keep the right mentality
Don't fall into vanity
Sometime I feel like he standin watchin over me
Whisperin in my ear, baby boy, I'm still here
I heard him said I'm the shadow right beside you
And if you confused, son, I'm there to guide you
And even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I fear no evil
For the Lord is wit me
But don't forget that your mom's in your hands
You two were so close
That I finally understa nd
And here's a message to your brothers and your sisters
I'ma miss em
No matter what I'ma be wit em
Peace
Da, da, da, daddy, daddy, daddy
To my dad, rest in peace
Da, da, da, daddy, daddy, daddy
I guess I'll see you at the resurrection
Da, da, da, daddy, daddy, daddy
To all my people that lost somebody
Da--a, daddy, daddy, daddy
Put the lighters in the air
Da, da, da, daddy, daddy, daddy
Oh, daddy
Oh, daddy
Da, da, da, daddy, daddy, daddy
Oh, yeah, yeah
I need you, daddy
Da, da, da, daddy, daddy, daddy
Oh, oh
Da, da, da, daddy, daddy, daddy
Daddy
Though you vacation in Hawaii
Or go to Switzerland to ski
When you're scanning the snow covered mountain
Or fanning yourself by the sea
Don't dream of anybody but me
Though you may fly the Scottish Highlands
Or take a trip to some isle near Napoli
When you're whistling 'The Campbells Are Coming'
Or humming 'The Isle Of Capri'
Don't dream of anybody but me
In a cafe on the Rhine
Any place along the line
I'll forgive you when a stranger
Puts your little heart in danger
If his face resembles mine
When a guy at a mike in a nightclub
Begins bellowing something off-key
Won't even mind
If suddenly he reminds you of me
No matter where you care to roam
Doesn't even matter whom you choose to see
Whenever your head hits that pillow
Whatever the hour may be
Don't dream of anybody but me
Don't dream of anybody but me
My bones are tired, Daddy
I don't get enough sleep
I don't eat as good as I could, Daddy
What's that say about me?
Sometimes I sleep past noon, Daddy
Drink lots of black coffee and I smoke like a chimney.
Yes, I left the refrigerator door half open, Daddy.
What's that say about me?
Sometimes I want to rip out your throat, Daddy
For all those things you said that were mean.
Gonna make you just as vulnerable as I was, Daddy
What's that say about me?
Sometimes I want to bash in your teeth, Daddy.
Gonna use your tongue as a stamp
Gonna rip your heart out the way you did mine, Daddy
Go ahead and psycho-analyze that.
'Cause I'm your creation, I'm your love, Daddy.
Grew up to be and do all those sick things you said I'd do
Well last night I saw you sneak out your window
With your white hood, Daddy
What's' that say about you?
I'm sloppy, what's that say about you?
I'm messy, what's that say about you?
When I think it's safe to say
She is grown and on her own
So she will be on her way.
I think it's safe to say
She is grown and on her own
So she will be on her way.
Look at her isn't she so attractive
She has the same eyes as her (Daddy)
Her boyfriend is a rapper
Who laid her on the mattress
9 months later he isa (D-D-Daddy)
I busted condem wrapper
And a one way to Seattle
The nigga got to skippin just like (Daddy)
Now Isnt it ironic
What her daughter has in common with her
That's why she call dem niggas (D-D-Daddy)
Now I think it's safe to say
She is grown and on her own
So she will be on her way.
I think it's safe to say
She is grown and on her own
So she will be on her way.
She said take me to the Pool
And take me to the movies
But I really think it's all
Because her (Daddy) Daddy didn't do it
I be actin roofless to her
But she just excuse it
And every now and then
She will tell me to improve it.
I'm like improvin? What am I supposed to be doin?
She say that I'm actin' clueless like her (Daddy) (uhh huhh)
But Cupid ain't stupid girl
You know what it is
You just tryin to make sure
Your kids havea (D-D-Daddy) (haha)
Well I think it's safe to say
She is grown and on her own
So she will be on her way
I think it's safe to say
She is grown and on her own
So she will be on her way
Well I've done seen alot of women pass and go
Done wen't back in forth like a game of basketball (I'm Open!)
What they afta I don't know hell naw
But I know I've been down that road before
From summer to fall
Winter to march
Sun up to dawn
Finish from song
Runnin round lookin up hookin up
Hit the club liquered up
But she really lookin for her (Daddy)
Well I think it's safe to say
She is grown and on her own
So she will be on her way
I think it's safe to say
She is grown and on her own
I did taste their only dream
As denial was still unborn
Secrets beyond those dethroned walls
And echoes of a martyr's scream
Deterrent vibrates the allurements face
As my barque drowns toward conquest
Don't quieten the elder's tears
For they've foreseen our past
Covered lies our remembrance
As symbols turn to dust
I won't dance
I won't dance
I won't dance within despair
I won't dance
The elder's orient
Journey into a wicked world
My body beneath the skies
Erotic wishes, my heart has failed
Incalculable is the surface's breath
Paralyzed form - the ring of death
Steps on the stairs to my silent ecstasy
Caress of the mental space
Thrones of fake life
Eternal addiction towards those eyes
(Gods) didn't you believe my earthbound call?
Slipping into the hidden sun
Intoxicated by an endless fall
We're rocking big daddy
How bout that
How bout that
Here he comes again
Me and my friends
We all laugh at him
Cuz he's so funny
Warm and fuzzy
We're rocking big daddy
How bout that
A celebration!
A celebration!
He caught a little fish
He had one wish
Daddy
We're rocking big daddy
A celebration!
A celebration!
When the winter comes
I will fight the cold
You will witness me
I will take control
Daddy On Death Pain
Hate Better walk away
Save yourself today
He has an apetite for sex and cash
He hangs on the corner talking trash
Or rollin' in his freak mobile
Mercedes Benz on 20 inch wheels
Gets calls all day on his cellular phone
From nasty girls they won't leave him alone
He's got 'em crying 'cuz they can't see
Why he's in love with a girl like me
Innocent, kinda polite
The kind of girl that says her prayers at night
He picks me up everyday from school
And all my friends they just dream and drool
Then on the way the music blasts
We hittin' the street he lets off the gas
But just before my house appears
He pulls over, whispers in my ear
Hey lil' momma let me in your world
I just wanna see you be a nasty girl
I said love you up and love you down
Daddy wanna make love all around the town
And scream
Come moan and moan and moan
Come moan and moan and scream
Come moan and moan and moan
And take it back girl
My mom has met - my dad refused
Yesterday he bought me some shoes
Dolce and Gabbana and a bag made of iguana
And a blazer and a chocolate tie
Get it blaze chocolate tie
So this kept on and it kept on
Like the beat don't stop until the break of dawn
I can't help it
I just love the boy
I just love the boy
Wait a minute
Oh, I can't help it
I just love the boy
I just love the boy
Oh no
I got shinin' things like diamond rings
And designer chains man the way I bling
Had teachers in school calling home
Mr and Mrs Nice, what the hell is goin on?
I snatched a letter from your daughters desk
From her bad boy friend who was talking fresh
How he wants to see her later today
Face to face so he could say
Hey lil' momma let me in your world
I just wanna see you be a nasty girl
I said love you up and love you down
Daddy wanna make love all around the town
And scream
Come moan and moan and moan
Come moan and moan and scream
Come moan and moan and moan
And take it back girl
But you gotta know that the dough comes first
Gotta know know if you stray then no
There are no words
My look, I see it in your face, Oh look
Thought I was a nice guy, huh, No look
You say you never leave me love
Well are you sure that it's me you love?
Gotta ask 'cuz I can't tell
If it's me or the B12
Hell its suspect
Would you swallow my pride
Now let's ride
I can't help it
I just love the boy
I just love the boy
Wait a minute
Oh, I can't help it
I just love the boy
I just love the boy
Oh no
I can't help it
I just love the boy
I just love the boy
Wait a minute
Oh, I can't help it
I just love the boy
I just love the boy
Oh no
I can't help myself
I just love the boy
I love the boy
Sorry I just had to call
Don't want to wear you out on me
But I need someone to listen
You don't even have to speak
Sorry to make such a fuss
I know these things will happen now and then
If you bear with me
I promise this will never happen again
Not again, never again...
Daddy won't hurt me
This time it was all my fault
I'll be a good girl
And he won't have to get so mad
He does so much for me
I know he loves me deep inside
From now on I'll be so good
I will never hurt his pride
I guess I got what I deserved
And it does no good to cry
From now on I'll be good
This time I will really try
Thank you I'm so happy now
How was your day?
I'd really like to see you soon
When will you be out this way?
I'm so glad that you were home
Gave me a chance to think it through
Let's not mention this again.
The only one I ever told was you.
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: x2]
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: x2]
[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: x2]
Oh I wanna thank you for all you've done for me
Daddy called me a son of a bitch
Daddy called me a son of a bitch
Then he kicked my little punk-ass
out the door
Mama tells me I'm alright
Daddy picks another fight
Mama tells me I'm alright
Daddy tells me to fetch a switch
then he tells me to fetch the switch
Then I'm mother-fuckin' lyin' on the floor
Daddy called me a son of a bitch
Daddy called me a son of a bitch
Then he kicked my little punk-ass
out the door
Mama tells me I'm alright
Daddy picks another fight
Mama tells me I'm alright
Mama tells me
When I'm locked inside my room
you throw away the key
I'll never be like you
You better leave me hanging
You better know your next move
Woke up and found the tattoo you promised you'd do
Running bare with delicate eyesight
Special suicide then you said (3X)
Then you said
You never saved a wafer
Just for the little teeny breaker
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
I should have just stayed where I was safer
Special suicide then you said (3X)
Then you said
No I'm not a rescuer (3X)
No I'm not
Today
I've been counting the many blessings
In the family my dad raised
All the love we shared through the years
Has come back to me in many ways
And today
My mind flashbacked to my childhood days
I recall my first day of school
And how much it hurt my dad to see me start off in
patched up blue jeans
But dad, today thats the style
My boy won't go anywhere without his patched up jeans
Their old and faded
And they look like they've never been cleaned
And I remember Sunday school
And how I'd get mad when you'd make me go
But now
I can see why that was so important to you
Cause we prayed together
And we stayed together
Now my dad was a man that knew his own mind
And I remember when he'd call us all together
And he'd say, "family it's lovin time"
His world was built around mom and the four kids they
raised
And I can still see the smile that always came on
momma's face
Each time dad would say the table grace
The house was filled with lots of noise
But when we got to loud dad would always say "oh those
devilish boys"
There was three of us the fourth was a girl
Well you know dad had a choice
A favorite that is
But he'd say I love one just as much as I love the
other
Aww would you look at her
She looks just like her mother
I've heard alot of other people talk about my dad
And talk about the things he'd done when he was young
Cause I may be a little bit prejudiced
But he was the best in the county when it came to a
contest in games
Cause he could out run, out box, out shoot any of the
professionals that came to town
Now my dad was a good man
And his family came first
And he did his best for us
And I know sometimes
He worked til it hurt
The depression wasn't an easy time
A dollar a day was the pay back then
And I remember my dad leaving the house before day
break
And walking fourteen miles to get to work without being
late
Ahh I guess everyone remembers the good times and the
Good times were happy and bad times were sad
And when I'd do something wrong he'd straighten me out
With a hand or a belt out behind the house
But now momma didn't raise her voice or fuss when we'd
get out of hand
She'd just say now thats enough
And if we didn't obey
She'd tell dad what was wrong
And without a question dad would lay it on
Why we picked cotton, chopped cotton, stacked hay,
pulled corn
Well that's the way we made our livin back then on the
farm
But things are different now
Cause it's like a new world we're livin in
Everythings a mad rush
And not enough time for friends
And when I think of my dad
It makes me proud you see
Cause he gave so much of himself
To make life easier for me
Now not everyone's as lucky as I am
To have a father who wanted the best for me out of life
And now when I hear a church bell chime
It's almost like my dad saying family its lovin time
So why don't you go to your dad right now
And tell him you love him
And I'll bet you a dollar against a dog biscuit
That it'll mean more to him then any gift that money
could buy
Cause you know you can't ever repay him
For all the things he's done for you
And the best way I know
To let him know
He smelt the briny ocean when he was seventeen,
just said goodbye, cause sailors never cry
When the life ashore became no more
Than just a point of dad, he tried to realize
The words the old man said:
Son, you'll never live in Clover,
But the last word's up to you
If you really thought it over,
Do what you must do.
Daddy, I don't know if I'm wrong
Dad, but it's there where I belong
Daddy, once I'll be back to see
If at home it's really better like you said to me.
He sailed across the seven seas from England to Japan
He saw all the places in the world.
But somewhere in his heart, there is a start of yearning
For the land he left behind, that he adored.
Son, you'll never live in Clover,
But the last word's up to you
If you really thought it over,
Do what you must do.
Daddy I know that I was wrong
Dad I'm coming back where I belong
Daddy, those words you used to say:
Daddy?
Daddy?
Daddy? (just to hear you breathing)
Damn man this shits crazy
Got a little son now, little me
Runnin around, its crazy
I'd do anything man, do anything
Life is precious, remember that.
And if i die then my child'll be a bastard
I just had a newborn,
Shorty weighs 7 pounds, 6 ounces, 20 inches, too strong,
Im happy now, ima daddy now,
I gotta be there, i aint get to see my daddy around,
We aint never get to ball out kid,
I was young, the game caught him before i did, but
Back to you son, as for you son,
I'd do any and everything, thats the truth son,
From the dirtiest diaper, till you get old enough to dirty your nikes up,
Im your clean up man,
You ever need a hand, need a foot, need a heart, need a lung,
Reach for the phone, call me up son,
Yes, everything drops for you, everything stops for you,
I'll bury a block for you,
I'll let go every shot for you, and i'll reload the clip, just to make sho he's hit
I gotta little boy to look after,
I gotta little boy to look after,
I gotta little boy to look after,
And if i die then my child'll be a bastard
Everyday i look in your face, I sit back and i smile,
Look at his face, its just like mine, wow,
Damn, this kid shines,
Authority and prioritys, this kids mine, so,
That means i gotta beat him if i have to,
Keep him out of bad schools, teach him how to rap smooth,
Show him the ropes like, make sure his rope's tight,
No screws loose, no loose screws,
Got manners, got morals, got sense of respect,
Cause when you gone, boy thats all you got left,
You ever get craze for candy, dont take a strangers candy,
Open a strangers candy, those are the strangest candys,
I'm your rider, your guider, pusher, provider,
But most of all im your father and im just looking out for you,
When there's a problem, man im just looking out for you,
Im not talking man, im just pulling out for you,
The ford, a sword, the hood'll come out for you,
And what im about to do, you shouldnt go out and do,
You just make sure your good to me, you good to mom,
Respect your elders, you grow to be good and strong,
I gotta little boy to look after,
I gotta little boy to look after,
I gotta little boy to look after,
And if i die then my child'll be a bastard
I raise you up in the sky, like behold,
The only thing greater then I, YOU, my greatest achievement,
F*** a platinum plaque, this is history in the making, believe it,
Without you i cant make or suceed s***,
I cant think, i cant wake up and eat s***,
You the reason, that im breathin,
And i will stop at any moment to see this, child live a better life,
Wow its a better life, but you better throw down if you ever fight,
Like Rocky do, dont be no punk when its time to get up and put on your boxing shoes,
You lace em up tight, you fall, get up fight,
You lose, oh well, we all lose some fights,
Just be a man about yours, life is all about handling yours,
So you just keep handling yours.
I gotta little boy to look after,
I gotta little boy to look after,
I gotta little boy to look after,
Oh, I took your love for granted
I didn't understand
Daddy I had to do it my way
I never thought you were half a man
Oh, I was so confused then
And I just couldn't see
Everything that you were doing
You were doing just for me
How do I say daddy please forgive me?
How do I prove my love to you?
How do I say daddy please forgive me, yeah yeah
Daddy I'm sorry I never knew
You gave me all I wanted
You even gave me life
When I didn't deserve it
You made that sacrifice
Oh, I was so confused then
And I just couldn't see
Everything that you were doing
You were doing just for me
How do I say daddy please forgive me?
How do I prove my love to you?
How do I say daddy please forgive me, yeah yeah
Daddy I'm sorry I never knew
Daddy I'm sorry I never knew
Daddy I'm sorry I never knew, no no
Forgive me. I'm sorry I never knew
Daddy I'm sorry I never knew
How long have I been dreaming? Who forgot to wake, to wake me up?
I know it sounds crazy but daddy now I think I’m in love
Cause when he steps in the room my heart begins to pound
You said, “Never settle,” you promised there was one out there for me
It’s true, I might have doubted but he’s standing here and now I believe
Yes, I know you’ll be proud of the man that chose me
It’s elementary to the wise, for the fool in full disguise
Beggars bow and poets kneel, and as for me… it’s finally real
I will always love you and I will always be your little girl
None could come between us, you’ll forever be the first man in my world
But when he smiles I can see how much he reminds me of you
A man of faith, a man of strength, who loves me like you do
It’s all the time I’ve spent in tears, worth the heartache, worth the fears
To stand beside him on this day after you give me away
How long have I been sleeping? Who forgot to wake, to wake me up?
Daddy, he’s amazing, he’s everything that I’ve been dreaming of
Hey, listen
To my story 'bout a gal named Daisy May
Lazy Daisy May
Her disposition
Is rather sweet, and charming
At times, alarming
So they say
Do do do do do doo doo doo
Do do do do do doo doo doo
She had a man tall, dark and handsome
Large and strong
To whom she used to sing this song
Hey, Daddy
I want a diamond ring
Bracelets, everything
Daddy
You oughta get the best for me
Hey, Daddy
Gee, won't I look swell in sables
Clothes with Paris labels
Daddy
You oughta get the best for me
Here's an amazing revelation
With a bit of stimulation
I'd be a great sensation
I'd be your inspiration
Daddy
I want a brand new car
Champaigne, caviar
Hey, Daddy
You oughta get the best for me
Here's an amazing revelation
With a bit of stimulation
I'd be a great sensation
I'd be your inspiration
Daddy
I want a brand new car
Champaigne, caviar
Daddy
Well I'm finally gonna write you that letter
That was owed you for a long long time
I can't say much for me
But I do hope that ya'll are doing fine
Well how is Burry and Virginia
Are they still living down on the farm
You know sometimes I get so lonesome daddy
I wish I'd never left home
Are you working hard these days
Are you doing all the things
the doctor said you oughta do
Did you sell all your tobacco
Did the crops bring in what you thought they would
Well I might as well get to the point
Last night I tried to call you on the phone
What I'm getting at
I guess is if I had the money daddy I'd come home
'Cause every night
I hear an old southbound train whistle a-blowing
And daddy it's calling me home
I've been to New York Chicago
Wheeling West Virginia and Nashville Tennessee
And singers are as thick as fleas on a dog's back
By the way how's old Lee
And I done changed my name so many times
I don't even know who I am
And daddy I sure miss them pinto beans
And corn bread and country ham
Now I know I should've listened when you said
I didn't have no business coming way out west
That a girl belongs at home on the farm
Where she was born raising younguns like all the rest
Well I know it now that's why I'm writing
And why I tried to call you on the phone
What I'm really trying to say
Is if you'll send me the money I'll come home
'Cause every night
I hear an old southbound train whistle a-blowing
Hey, listen to my story 'bout a gal named Daisy Mae
Lazy Daisy Mae
Her disposition is rather sweet and charming
At times alarming, so they say
She has a man who's *talldarkhandsome*, large and strong

Once I was away far far from my home
Didn't know how to come back home
Woah, momma
And one night when I wake up, I could see clearly
that there was nowhere in sight
I could see my ma and pa coming to look for me
But it was just a dream, just a dream yeah
And then I said "Ma, I need to go home
so I can start to walk my bridges
And walk towards my door
I met a girl who's named Jeane and she said
"Toots, you know I gotta give you a new name before you
leave this place"
I asked her why
She said "just because you look to be very great"
"that's why I'm gonna call you..."

A babies born in 1987,
Into a family of love and care,
His mummy treats him like a gift from heaven,
His daddy shows him how to style his hair,
A few years later it’s a cold December,
And daddy needs to buy some milk and juice,
And dad I want a twix please, if you remember,
The final words wasted if he only knew that,
Dad was running off with the cleaner,
She wasn’t even fit,
You should have seen her,
If she had big tits and no moushashe at worse,
Dad would never have run away cause I would have backed her first,
Dad was running off with a refugee,
Before his son had learnt his ABC’s
Before his son had even learnt how to climb a tree,
And incase you hadn’t noticed dad that baby was me!
And daddy I’ll never see you,
And you will never see me too,
And daddy you missed my birthday,
And I miss you every Father’s Day
Daddy I want to see you,
Daddy do you want to see me too
Daddy are you ok
So I guess this is happy Father’s Day!
I wonder if you even got my twix,
You probably gave it to your Spanish bitch and them kids,
Sorry if you think I’m being racist,
But I don’t want my twix in their spanish faces,
And Dad just wondering if you have ever had someone rip your heart out and Put it in a fire just to watch it melt
That’s how I feel,
I hope you come back,
So I don’t suffer from another snack attack,
Cause dad when it feel like your heart stops beating,
Some people turn to comfort eatting,
I can laugh now, now that I’m fine,
But I was cramming pork pies into my mouth 5 at a time,
Cheese strings, Chicken Wings, KFC and Burger King and onion rings,
I was eatting all them things,
I had to go onto Jerry Spinger,
Cause I was trying to eat my sausage finger,
And daddy I’ll never see you,
And daddy you’ll never see me too,
Daddy you missed my birthday,
And I miss you every Father’s Day,
Daddy I want to see you,
Daddy do you want to see me too
And daddy are you ok
Written by Lili Haydn & Jeffrey Connor
Trying to save the world while your daddy is dying
with your safety net
Everything's changed, now my songs make you cry and
I feel you, Daddy I feel you, Daddy
Fed by your father, your days were your own
you're on your own now
Head in the starts, now I'm fully grown, but
Stop it daddy
Daddy stop it nuh
A going to tell on you enuh
[Chorus: x2]
Daddy don't touch mi there
I'm gonna tell on you one day I swear
Can't you see I'm scared
You suppose to be ma father
[Verse 1:]
Everyday a wonder why ma daddy had to be di one to take away my innocence
Oh sometimes a wanna die feels like no one cares for me and it's evident
That something must be wrong with me
I'm not as happy as I seem to be
The long showers I take don't wash away the memories
Why do I have to face these tragedies
We go thru struggles in life I'm aware
But to have ma daddy touching me that's just not fair
Stop him from destroying ma future
Believe me he's behaving like a creature
[Chorus]
[Verse 2:]
To all you mothers out there
Give a listening ear
Pay attention even if di man a pastor
Yuh affi mek sure before yuh trust him wid yuh daughta
Plus him will even try fi tek yuh son as brawta
Watch it mek mi duck him wid some dutty watah
Yuh cyaah hide nuh more now yuh affi meet yuh karma
If yuh know seh it a gwaan and turn a blind eye
Den yuh judgment ago pile up bout a mile high
Get suicidal if yuh tink it ago save yuh
Because mi sure seh yuh naah guh get fi si di saviour
Mi just cyaah find a name fi yuh behaviour
Is a lucky ting wi got a nosey neighbour
[Chorus]
[Verse 3:]
When yuh feel like giving up
Just shake it off and live it up
Di most high will deliver you
Cyaah jump di rope if yuh nuh try
Suh wipe da tears deh from yuh eye
Get di wings of confidence fi mek yuh fly
Tribulations a just fi mek yuh stronga
Love yuh self and it will help yuh fi get ova
Any flesh weh hurt a likkle yute will neva prospa
A passing on di message from di masta
[Verse 1]
Let's get it straight, ur moms fuckin' hates me
I ain't good enough for her pudding pop baby
Crazy but it may be true, boo hoo
See me on the street don't assume that we're cool
Til I do, all of your friends, follow them in
To a park or apartment they can swallow again and then
I post the pix on ur facebook site
So u see what my new O face looks like
"Oh oh" pretty fuckin' sweet right?
Tell ur ma when she see my ma there'll be a street
fight
Lifestyle I filled with stupid little stuff
And my raps and my skills ain't lucrative enough?
For her princess, princess, princess
Mostly royalty is brought about by incest
Investigate or estimate the STD's
That you'll receive for fuckin' with me at least
three...
[Chorus:]
She don't call me daddy anymore
She'll only tell u I'm an asshole
She's tellin everybody I know
I know, well I know
She don't call me daddy anymore
She'll only tell you I'm an asshole
She's tellin' everybody I know
Yeah, I know
This ain't the Montagues or the Capulets
I got the wrap it up box bitch I'll wrap it up quick
Now even my cat got beef with ur cat too
Jack him for his catnip, murk him for his cat food
That's true, he doesn't even have to
I guess good pussy just knows and is glad to
Do what they supposed to do as opposed to you
Soap opera episode so true, so u
High maintenance, why am I wasted in my time?
Why u stickin' around, aint gonna get mine?
U ain't fine, u ain't shit
Cocky trick go to H-E- double hockey sticks
Yeah, I owe u money come and get it back
Actually keep ur fuckin' hands in ur honey sack dummy
What u still love me?
Get Pescie'd like Ginger in Casino honey bunny I'm
gone...
Viel zu spät in der Nacht bin noch wach
Doch du siehst es nicht
Bin zu bunt viel zu grell ich mach Krach
Ich überzeichne mein Gesicht
Es bringt in dieses Mädchen etwas Licht
Aber mach dir keine Sorgen
Denn du fehlst mir nicht
Ich fühl mich unbeschwert
Doch ich mach all diese Fehler, Daddy
Und finde überhaupt keinen den es stört
Dieser Kerl was ist das für ein Typ
Hast du nie gefragt
Laß das sein komm nach Haus hab dich lieb
Hast du nie zu mir gesagt
Mein Traum bringt keinen Prinzen
An den Tag
Aber mach dir keine Sorgen
Denn du fehlst mir nicht
Dein Platz war immer leer
Doch ich brech all diese Herzen, Daddy
Und jeder neue Tag verlangt nach mehr
Du fehlst mir nicht
Ich fühl mich unbeschwert
Doch ich mach all diese Fehler, Daddy
Und finde überhaupt keinen den es stört
He was gone before you could walk
Gone and left your mom alone
Just as you were learning to talk
So you grew up real fast
And she changed her name
The one why you lost your place
Was the new baby's game
Well I'm sorry
That you never knew your daddy
That you never felt the love
That every little boy is dreaming of
Yeah I'm sorry
That you never knew your daddy
Cause now your all grown up
With such a price to pay, yeah
Well the years have come gone
And here I am
For the life of me I could try and try
But never understand
Now everything can change or stay the same
Cause we can live and learn, but in return
The pattern still remains
Well I'm sorry
That I never knew your daddy
That I never felt the love
That every little girl is dreaming of
Yeah I'm sorry
That I never knew your daddy
Cause now I'm all grown up
With such a price to pay
Maybe someday you will understand
Why we had to go
I believe there is redemption
And in time we'll know
Well I'm sorry
That you never knew your daddy
That you never felt the love
That every little boy is dreaming of
Yeah I'm sorry
That you never knew your daddy
Cause now I'm all grown up
Wohin geht der Sonnenschein
Daddy?
Warum müssen Tränen sein
Daddy?
Das und noch viel mehr
alles wußte er
was ich als Kind ihn gefragt.
Haben Engel blondes Haar
Daddy?
Werden Träume manchmal wahr
Daddy?
Gibt es auf der Welt
jemand außer mir
den du so lieb hast wie mich?
Daddy
Daddy sag mal
bleibt alles immer so schön?
Daddy
Daddy hör mal
das darf doch niemals vergeh'n.
Daddy
Daddy.
Sind die Sterne nie allein
Daddy?
Werd' ich immer glücklich sein
Daddy?
Alles auf der Welt
gibt es nicht für Geld
das hat er immer gesagt.
Gibt es einmal einen Mann
Daddy?
Der so lieb wie du sein kann
Daddy?
Wird er auf der Welt
was auch kommen mag
keine so lieben wie mich?
Daddy

Oh, Daddy let me go,
Up to the hill, down to the shore
Nobody's crying around here but you
Let me go, for his love is true.
He was a wild one, he was a hard-breaking man
Oh, but I loved him, with all that I had.
When we met one summer night and started falling.
Then Daddy, Daddy, started calling.
Oh, Daddy, let me go,
Up to the hill, down to the shore.
Nobody's crying around here but you.
Let me go, for his love is true.
Didn't you always want me to be happy?
Didn't you always want me to follow my dreams?
Well I'm happy and I'm dreaming and I'm lovin' and I'm
leaving,
Don't you see, don't you see, don't you see.
Oh, Daddy, let me go,
Up to the hill, down to the shore.
Nobody's crying around here but you.
Let me go, for his love is true.
Daddy why did you eat my fries?
I bought them,
and they were mine.
But you ate them
Yeah, you ate my fries
And I cried
But you didn't see me cry
Daddy, do you even love me
Well I wish you'd show it
Because I wouldn't
Know it
What kind of dad eats his daughter's fries?
And doesn't even look her in the eye
Dady there were tears

It was a cold night in December
The snow lay on the ground
She was coming home from school one night
From the other side of town
It was getting late, there was something wrong
Then I heard the news
A TV Flash and by 9 o'clock
They'd found her socks and shoes
Daddy come and bring me home
I didn't know which way to turn
I was shaking like a leaf
I got into my car and drove
Searching every street
Has anybody seen her
Have you found my little girl
She's all I have, all I possess
And to me, she means the world
I can hear her calling
Daddy come and bring me home
Daddy, Daddy come and bring me home
Daddy, when are you gonna bring me home
As time went by each silent night
We knew all hope was gone
We knew the light had flickered
From the eyes that once had shone
They caught a man in a bar one night
He confessed to what he'd done
He'd laid her body out in some dark wood
Just didn't know which one,
Daddy, Daddy come and bring me home
Daddy, Daddy come and bring me home
I just couldn't leave her out there
Lying on her own
'Cause she belongs to me
And I belong to her
I know she rests in Heaven
With the angels on a throne
But now I hear her calling
Daddy, Daddy come and bring me home
Daddy come and bring me home
Daddy, Daddy come and bring me home
Hey, Daddy, I want a diamond ring, bracelets, everything
Daddy, you oughta get the best for me
Hey, Daddy, gee, don't I look swell in sables?
Clothes with Paris labels?
Daddy, you oughta get the best for me
Here's *'n'amazing* revelation
With a bit of stimulation
I'd be a great sensation
I'd be your inspiration
Daddy, I want a brand new car, champagne, caviar
Daddy, you oughta get the best for me
Hey, Daddy, I want a diamond ring, bracelets, everything
Daddy, you oughta get the best for me
Hey, Daddy, gee, don't I look swell in sables?
Clothes with Paris labels?
Daddy, you oughta get the best for me
Here's *'n'amazing* revelation
With a bit of stimulation
I'd be a great sensation
I'd be your inspiration
Daddy, I want a brand new car, champagne, caviar
Daddy, Daddy,

![The grizzly bear (Ursus arctos horribilis), also known as the silvertip bear, is a subspecies of brown bear (Ursus arctos) that generally lives in the uplands of western North America. This subspecies is thought to descend from Ussuri brown bears which crossed to Alaska from Eastern Russia 100,000 years ago, though they did not move south until 13,000 years ago.[1] Grizzlies are normally solitary active animals, but in coastal areas the grizzly congregates alongside streams, lakes, rivers, and ponds during the salmon spawn. Every other year, females (sows) produce one to four young (commonly two) which are small and weigh only about 500 grams (one pound). A sow is protective of her offspring and will attack if she thinks she or her cubs are threatened.](http://web.archive.org./web/20140523003324im_/http://cdn3.wn.com/ph/img/1f/66/6026cbb97399a2dd5c8baa609dd2-small.jpg "The grizzly bear (Ursus arctos horribilis), also known as the silvertip bear, is a subspecies of brown bear (Ursus arctos) that generally lives in the uplands of western North America.
