to be somebodies father
to be somebodies rock

to teach your son not to stand behind somebodies glock

to be somebodies father
to be somebodies guidance

for your son to seek your confidence

to be somebodies father
to hold your sons hand

to teach your son how to be a man

to be somebodies father
to show your son that you care

to be somebodies father
to show somebody that life CAN be fair

&quot;I say what I want to say and do what I want to do. There&#039;s no in between. People will either love you for it or hate you for it. &quot;
