Steve King - Hailie's Song lyrics
[Intro] Yo, I can't sing, but I feel like singing I wanna f**in' sing ‘Cause I'm happy Yeah, I'm happy I got my baby back Yo, check it out [Verse 1] Some days I sit staring out the window Watching this world pa** 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 [Hook] ‘Cause 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 [Verse 2] 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 sh** don't faze 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 [Hook] [Verse 3] 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 God, I'm a daddy, I'm so glad that her mom didn't *want her* 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 sh** 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 this load is like the weight of the world And I think my neck is breakin' 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 should've seen it comin', what'd I stick my penis up in? Wouldn't have ripped the pre-nup up If I'da seen what she was f**in', but f** 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 Our baby's traveled back to the arms of her rightful 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 [Hook 2] 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 [Outro] Wooo! Told you I can't sing, oh well, I tried Hailie, remember when I said If you ever need anything, Daddy would be right there? Guess what, Daddy's here And I ain't going nowhere, baby, I love you (*smooch*)
