Wyclef Jean: Daddy

Da, da, da, daddy, daddy, daddy

I'm sure y'all heard about my dad

Da, da, da, daddy, daddy, daddy

This one goes out for everybody that lost somebody

Da, da, da, daddy, daddy, daddy

Be strong

Da, da, da, daddy, daddy, daddy


Now I understand what Scarface meant

When he said I 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

Da, da, da, daddy, daddy, daddy

Rest in peace, dad

Da, da, da, daddy, daddy, daddy

All my people live on

Da, da, da, daddy, daddy, daddy

Rest in peace, dad

Da, da, da, daddy, daddy, daddy


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 understa nd

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

Da, da, da, daddy, daddy, daddy

Oh, daddy

Oh, daddy

Da, da, da, daddy, daddy, daddy

Oh, yeah, yeah

I need you, daddy

Da, da, da, daddy, daddy, daddy

Oh, oh

Da, da, da, daddy, daddy, daddy

Daddy

Da, da, da, daddy, daddy, daddy
