Lyrics and translation
Original
Yo,
I can't sing, but I feel like singing.
I wanna fucking sing 'cause I'm happy.
Yeah, I'm happy.
I got my baby back.
Yo, check it out.
Some days I sit, staring out the window, watching this world pass me by.
Sometimes I think there's nothing to live for.
I almost break down and cry.
Sometimes I think I'm crazy. I'm crazy, oh so crazy.
Why am I here? Am I just wasting my time?
But then I see my baby, suddenly I'm not crazy.
It all makes sense when I look into her eyes. Oh no.
But sometimes it feels like the world's on my shoulders. Everyone's leaning on me.
'Cause sometimes it feels like the world's almost over.
But then she comes back to me.
My baby girl keeps getting older.
I watch her grow up with pride.
People make jokes 'cause they don't understand me.
They just don't see my real side. I act like shit don't phase me.
Inside it drives me crazy.
My insecurities could eat me alive.
But then I see my baby, suddenly I'm not crazy.
It all makes sense when I look into her eyes. Oh no.
But sometimes it feels like the world's on my shoulders.
Everyone's leaning on me.
'Cause sometimes it feels like the world's almost over.
But then she comes back to me.
Man, if I could sing I'd keep singing this song to my daughter.
If I could hit the notes I'd blow something as long as my father to show her how I feel about her, how proud I am that I got her. Caught him a daddy, I'm so glad that her mom didn't.
Now you probably get this picture from my public persona that I'm a pistol packing drug addict who bags on his mama.
But I wanna just take this time out to be perfectly honest 'cause there's a lot of shit I keep bottled that hurts deep inside of my soul. And just know that I grow colder the older I grow.
This boulder on my shoulder gets heavy and harder to hold, and it's loaded like the weight of the world, and I think my neck is breaking.
Should I just give up or try to live up to these expectations?
Now look, I love my daughter more than life in itself, but I got a wife that's determined to make my life living hell.
But I handle it well given the circumstances I'm dealt so many chances.
Man, it's too bad, coulda had someone else.
But the years that I've wasted is nothing to the tears that I've tasted, so here's what I'm facing: three felonies, six years of probation.
I've went to jail for this woman, I've been to bat for this woman.
I've taken bats to people's backs, bent over backwards for this woman. Man, I shoulda seen it coming.
What I stick my penis up in?
Woulda ripped the prenup up if I'da seen what she was fucking. But fuck it, it's over, there's no more reason to cry no more.
I got my baby, baby, the only lady that I adore, Hailie.
So sayonara, try tomorrow, nice to know ya.
My baby's traveled back to the arms of a rifle owner, and suddenly it seems like my shoulder blades have just shifted.
It's like the greatest gift you can get, the weight has been lifted.
And now it don't feel like the world's on my shoulders. Everyone's leaning on me.
'Cause my baby knows that her daddy's a soldier.
Nothing can take her from me.
Woo!
Told you I can't sing.
Oh well,
I tried.
Hailie, remember when I said if you ever need anything, Daddy will be right there?
Guess what? Daddy's here, and I ain't going nowhere, baby. I love you.
