Yeah, the other day
My oldest daughter looked at me
You know, she asked why I work so hard
I told her, "You know, baby, I do it for you"
When I'm tired, exhausted and I can't take another day
I know it's people waiting for me to get paid
Food on plates, diapers, baby food, mailbox full of bills
And we need baby shoes
School clothes, school supplies
And it's an honor for me to provide for mine
Anytime they need me, I'm on the way
With a Bible or rifle, it may be something I can say
Baby, I know that daddy's overbearing
But sweetie, I'm a parent
And it's apparent that I'ma have to do what I gotta do for you
And I do whatever I gotta do for you, the one-
Do it for them babies, like the ones who raised me
Cut the core for you know what they be almost 18
It's amazing, work 'til I'm crippling crazy
If you ask why, I'll reply
We do it for them babies, like the ones who raised me
Cut the core for you know what they be almost 18
It's amazing, work 'til I'm crippling crazy
If you ask why, I'll reply
We do it for them babies (do it for them babies)
We do it for them babies (for them babies)
We do it for them babies (for them babies)
We do it for them babies
Yeah
Uh, now I got one that's ten, one that's two
And like I said, I do anything I gotta do
To ensure they have a better life than dad did
I don't think it's such a thing as a bad kid
Bad moms and dads, yeah, they all around us
The ones who call their mom, mama, I'm a product of that
And I love that
When I ain't know what my dad was, I knew what my love was at
How can you have a child and not get off your backside
Grow up a little bit, learn how to act right
Work my fingers to the bone to bring that bacon home
You ain't gotta ask me why 'cause it's how I already you know
We do it for them babies, like the ones who raised me
Cut the core for you know what they be almost 18
It's amazing, work 'til I'm crippling crazy
If you ask why, I'll reply
We do it for them babies, like the ones who raised me
Cut the core for you know what they be almost 18
It's amazing, work 'til I'm crippling crazy
If you ask why, I'll reply
We do it for them babies (do it for them babies)
We do it for them babies (for them babies)
We do it for them babies (for them babies)
We do it for them babies
Yeah
Some rocks that depend, they have it by the first
Not having that child support make you feel worse than anything
Like a low life scumbag, amazing
How it doesn't fade, some dads I hope my whole soul kinda grows on 'em
Sweet 16, I'm buying demons with the bows on 'em
Roses at school don't remind them where they love said
Even though Dad's halfway across the map
Skype calls, I wanna look you in your eyeballs
When I tell you how much I miss and love y'all
Be sweet y'all, just listen to Dania
Before I get to trippin' it, man I hate spakin' 'em
Babies, like the ones who raised me
Cut the core for you know what they be almost 18
It's amazing, work 'til I'm crippling crazy
If you ask why, I'll reply
We do it for them babies, like the ones who raised me
Cut the core for you know what they be almost 18
It's amazing, work 'til I'm crippling crazy
If you ask why, I'll reply
We do it for them babies (do it for them babies)
We do it for them babies (for them babies)
We do it for them babies (for them babies)
We do it for them babies
Yeah
Baby
