Die For You

NELLY

You, dontcha know i'd die for ya

I'd lay down my life for ya (i would, die for)

You, dontcha know i'd die for ya

I'd lay down my life for ya (i would, die for, you)



I remember feburary 27 1994

Tryin to make it to the hospital through 3 inches of snow

Somethings goin wrong i can tell but i dont know

I got this feelin in my gut this aint how i supposed 2 go

3 pounds 2 ounces and 2 months premature

To the incubator is she gon make it they aint sure

Automatically i placed the blame on my health

Hell im a father mayne, i placed the blame on myself

Was it somethin that i smoked, did i eat or did i drink it

Or was it somethin i was doin that i did or did i think it

Watchin her breathe through her holes in her nose

Whats this ckg machine, wats this shit on her toes

This 94 im 85 so im spooked as can be

Im prayin and im askin why he do this to me

See, i used to hold you in the palm of my hand

And jus to see you pull through, shit i knew you'd pull through



You, dontcha know i'd die for ya

I'd lay down my life for ya (i would, die for)

You, dontcha know i'd die for ya

I'd lay down my life for ya (i would, die for, you)



March the 2nd, 1999



The yurrr and the date i got my little mine

I guess i felt how my father felt and his father felt

And his father must have felt to see hiself

Its like a lil me in the flesh

He got my blood and my heart in his chest

Needless to say man i love him to death

Teach him if he disrespect me im'a love him to death

Left to go outa town right after he was born

Got a record deal 3 months later, daddy was gone

Its like im tryin to raise him over the phone

He barely kno my face when he see it but he know my tone

Im up at night like do he know who his daddy is

Im real close to sayin fuck the showbiz

But when i hurr him call his daddy na

And when i hurr him tell his friends i wanna be jus like my daddy na

Hope he forgive me for the sacrifice

So he can have a better life, than i had



You, dontcha know i'd die for ya

I'd lay down my life for ya (i would, die for)

You, dontcha know i'd die for ya

I'd lay down my life for ya (i would, die for)

You, dontcha know i'd die for ya

I'd lay down my life for ya (i would, die for)

You, dontcha know i'd die for ya

I'd lay down my life for ya (i would, die for, you)
