Lyrics
I know you want to come into this world
I acknowledge your desire to be born into this world.
But I don't want you to suffer for my wrong
I don't want you to suffer the consequences of my mistakes.
I see friends having fun, from having fun they are done
I observe friends enjoying themselves, but their enjoyment leads to negative outcomes.
But boy I don't want it to be my turn
I hope it's not my turn to face those negative consequences.
You see I am trying to build a life
I am working to create a stable and fulfilling life for you.
For you and the lady I'll call my wife
This life includes the woman who will be your mother.
That's your mama and talking about
Your mother is significant, and I am excited to talk about her.
With a ring on her finger, something to shout about
Marriage and commitment to your mother are worth celebrating (ring on her finger).
With a future such as this no need to play around
We have a promising future, and there's no need for frivolous behavior.
You see child, I know someday I will be your daddy
I anticipate being your father one day.
I'm sure by then, mama will be ready
I expect that your mother will be prepared for parenthood.
I will be a man and I'll be fine
I will mature into a responsible man.
And like a father to a child, all will be fine
My relationship with you as a father will be positive and fulfilling.
Hello papa please forgive that boy
A plea for forgiveness from the father for the mistakes of a boy.
He didn't mean to give her a child (Give her a child)
The boy unintentionally caused a pregnancy.
Hey o mama, please forgive that boy
A plea for forgiveness from the mother for the mistakes of the boy.
He didn't mean for her to be gone
The boy did not intend for her to leave, but she had to make a difficult decision.
She had to do what had to be done
She took action because she believed her parents would disapprove.
Because she thought her parents would want her gone
I don't want a similar situation to happen to you.
I don't want that to happen to you
Expressing the importance of avoiding undesirable consequences.
Jesus is my light and am turning more
Reliance on faith (Jesus) to guide and enlighten the path.
I know someday I will be your daddy
Reiteration of the anticipation of becoming a father.
I'm sure by then, mama will be ready
Expectation that the mother will be ready for parenthood.
I will be a man and I'll be fine
Commitment to personal growth and readiness for fatherhood.
And like a father to a son, all will be fine
Positive outlook on the relationship between father and son.
I know someday I will be your Daddy
Repetition of the anticipation of becoming a father.
I'm sure by then, mama will be ready
Reiteration of the expectation that the mother will be ready for parenthood.
I will be a man and I'll be fine
Commitment to personal growth and readiness for fatherhood (repeated).
And like a father to a child, all will be fine
Positive outlook on the relationship between father and child (repeated).
I know someday you will call me daddy
A confident expectation that one day, the child will address the speaker as "daddy."
