Wyclef Jean - Daddy
Da Da Da Daddy Daddy~Daddy
I'm sure y'all heard about my dad
This one goes out for everybody
that lost somebody
Be strong. Da, da, da, daddy, daddy, daddy
Now I understand what Scarface meant
When he said I've 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. daddy, daddy, daddy
Rest in peace, dad
Da, da, da, daddy, daddy, daddy
All my people live on live on live on
Da, da, da, daddy, daddy, daddy
Rest in peace, dad
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 understand
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
Oh, daddy Oh, daddy
Oh, yeah, yeah I need you, daddy
Da, da, da, daddy, daddy, daddy
Oh, oh Da, da, da, daddy, daddy, daddy
