My Old Man LyricsIf they try (if they try)
If they try to shut you out stay by my side (stay by my side)
And If I cry (if I cry)
And If I cry you say
Hold your head up high (hold your head up high)
Daddy used to struggle from the start
Never giving up
Always on the run a lot
Bring that money home
Saying boy don't cry
No limit to the sky
Hold on, hold on to the rope
That's our only hope
Lovers ain't born they are made in wombs
Don't you worry child
Life is but a ride
That's what you taught me, papa
No need to say
I see it in your face
That's what you taught me
That's what you taught me
That's what you taught me, papa
No need to say
I see it in your face
Baba, you left your mark on my heart
I feel it in my blood (in my blood)
You never left me
Baba, you left your mark on my heart
I feel it deep in my soul
I know you love me
Because you showed me, baba
Dear papa, should I slow down, papa?
Hold your hand like you used to hold mine, papa
Be the stick that you could hold on to, papa
You walk so gentle you used to walk like Mufasa
I hate losing my patience with you, papa
Did you ever lose yours with me, papa?
I know I do with your grandson
I just don't hope what goes around comes Around
Cause that would be pretty bad news for me, papa
How you feeling?
Cause lately here's been too many hospital visits for my liking
I guess that's why I work out too much
You told me to carry my own weight
But first let me carry yours
Cause that what you taught me, papa
That's what you taught me, papa
I know you love me, papa
And you don't need to say
I see it in your face
That's what you taught me
That's what you taught me
That's what you taught me, papa
And you don't need to say
I see it in your face
Baba, you left your mark on my heart
I feel it in my blood (in my blood)
You never left me
Baba, you left your mark on my heart
I feel it deep in my soul
I know you love me
If they try (if they try)
If they try to shut you out stay by my side (stay by my side)
And If I cry (if I cry)
And If I cry you say
Hold your head up high (hold your head up high)
That's what you taught me, papa
No need to say
I see it in your face
That's what you taught me
That's what you taught me
That's what you taught me, papa
No need to say
I see it in your face
Baba, you left your mark on my heart (oh)
I feel it in my blood (in my blood)
You never left me
Baba, you left your mark on my heart
I feel it deep in my soul
I know you love me
Because you showed me, baba (I know you loved me, you showed me)
You left your mark on my heart (I feel, I feel)
You left your mark on my heart (you left your mark on my heart)
You left your mark on my heart (yeah)
