Songtexte Good Man - Haystak

Lalala lalala la
Lalala lalala la

Very few thoughts will bring a tear to my eye
But the thought of dyin' without tellin' my baby goodbye
Explainin' why daddy had to go
Believin' that's the only way she'll ever really know
I wish that I could stay with you
And see you graduate school, grow old and gray with you
And see your babies and their babies too
Baby, you the only proof I ever existed
And there was nothing more addictive than your hugs and your kisses
You know how much I'ma miss this
I wish this bliss could be endless, but that's just senseless
It seems as though this is a business
Daddy was a leader and people follow
I stay so caught up in the day, I seldom see tomorrow
A desperado who changed diapers and warmed bottles
Perhaps I could have been a more positive role model
But, Doo-Wop, I'll always love you
Don't let nobody tell you pops wasn't no good dude
Nah, boo

If the sun comes up and I'm not home, be strong
If I'm not beside you, do your best to carry on
Tell the kids about me when they're old enough to understand
Tell them that their daddy was a good man, good man

I don't know where your head was when you
Just said, "Forget us," then you
Took my baby home to your mama's house
I can't even cry no more, accept the fact it's over now
All I can do is thank God you a good mama
Apologize 'cause I put you through so much drama
But I already give you half my dough
You should have to write half my flows and do half my shows
I keep the lights on, I bring the bacon home
Count the contractions, cut the cord, bring the baby home
Three and a half carats, and if you accept my proposal
Be that person you been searchin' and the whole pursuit is over
I got a show out of town, get my dough out of bounds
Rock my baby 'til she fall asleep, take her and lay her down
Tell her, "Mama, I'm gone to go and sing these songs"
The sun come up and I ain't home
Somethin' must have went wrong, so be strong

If the sun comes up and I'm not home, be strong
If I'm not beside you, do your best to carry on
Tell the kids about me when they're old enough to understand
Tell them that their daddy was a good man, good man

This is for the good men that went to die in Iraq
My drug war veterans that died over crack
Convenience store clerks who got killed for nothin' more
Than the measly contents of a register drawer
I work to feed my seed, protect my offspring
I stand here between nothing and everything
On the verge of failure and success
But I have done you an injustice if I don't do my best
Daddies don't get to rest, daddies just gotta work
If my back begins to ache, I guess it's just gon' have to hurt
'Cause daddy's gon' make it through the workday
Just so I can be a hero on your birthdays
I believe the worst days are almost over
In case I never told you, baby, you my little soldier
Damn, girl, so cute, so strong, so smart, so free
So hard-headed, little-assed, just like me, uh

If the sun comes up and I'm not home, be strong
If I'm not beside you, do your best to carry on
Tell the kids about me when they're old enough to understand
Tell them that their daddy was a good man, good man
If the sun comes up and I'm not home, be strong
If I'm not beside you, do your best to carry on
Tell the kids about me when they're old enough to understand
Tell them that their daddy was a good man, good man
If the sun comes up and I'm not home, be strong
If I'm not beside you, do your best to carry on
Tell the kids about me when they're old enough to understand
Tell them that their daddy was a good man, good man
