• Daddy’s Rap

  Note: The hyphens are to indicate where the beat falls in each line, to help make the lyrics easier to visualise as a rap.

  Does He know Daddy loves Him?

  
  

  I’m eating dinner here with my -baby -boy

  He knows that he is Daddy’s little -pride
  and -joy

  Every time he gets some food to go in-side
  his –mouth

  I feel no shame in cooing, that’s what -I’m
  -about.

  Meanwhile your crew sittin’ is over -there,
  I –see

  Your snickering and making jokes -about –me

  You think a man that’s doing this is –un
  -cool

  You’re making jokes at the expense of –this
  –fool.

   

  *

  I have, something to ask you, I wonder if
  you’ll humour me  -just a -sec

  When you’re, hangin’ with your ladies, what
  do you guys do –after-sex?

  *

   

  Do you stay and give your ladies all the
  -care they -need

  Do you think about the consequences -when
  you-breed

  Do you know there will be lots of little
  -mouths to -feed

  After you are finished playin, spreadin’
  -all your –seed

   

  Do you stay around and see your dirty
  -deeds -through

  Do you let your little boy -know about -you

  And I even gotta ask you, then, -if you –do

  Does he get enough affection coming –from
  –you?

   

  *

  Does he know Daddy loves him

  Does he know you can hug ‘im?

  Does he know, that you’re there

  Does he know that you care?

   

  Does he have Daddy feed him

  Are there books Daddy reads him?

  Does he know, that you’re there

  Does he know that you care?

   

  *

   

  My little boy I’m teachin’ him –how to
  –walk

  And even though he doesn’t yet know –how to
  –talk

  He knows that he’s the guy that I -hang
  -with

  Don’t care where I -go,

  -no,

  -not

  go-nna play –fifth

  I’m confident about my mascu-lini-ty

  I don’t need to prove to anyone I’m –man-ly

  The most important thing about –how I –act

  Is to think about the way it’s gonna
  –im-pact

   

  *

  I think, lots about my anger, doing all I
  can to keep it –in –check

  I want, my baby to grow up, living in a
  house full of –re -spect

  *

   

  You think its fun to joke about a-fec-tion

  So I’m askin’ you to use your recol-lec-tion

  I wonder when you think about your -young
  -life

  How your Daddy treated you and -his -wife?

  Cause the things you’re doing now with
  –your –son

  Start a chain that rarely breaks once its
  –be-gun

  You see I want to love all over my -little
  -guy

  That’s the legacy I’ll leave behind when -I
  -die.

   

   

  Does he know Daddy loves him

  Does he know you can hug ‘im?

  Does he know, that you’re there

  Does he know that you care?

   

  Does he know Daddy loves him?

  Does he know you won’t cuff ‘im?

  Does he know, you’re aware

   

  That he is even still there.
