Lyrics:

[Chorus]
You got me smilin'
Again you
Got me smilin again
Smilin'
Again you
Got me smilin', again

[Verse 1]
One night of pleasure nine months of pain
Three days later and that's when you came
Two arms two legs ten fingers ten toes
Brown eyes like mom, with your grandmothers nose
Even though you're momma's baby
And daddy's little baby
My love is unconditional to one of us is swayze
Day or night, roll the light
No matter what you do
Like the Jackson 5 said I'll be there for you coz
My life is your life and your life is mine
To thinkin'en I'm your friend 'til the end of time
I'll make sure you get your props
You can call me pops
And anything you need I'll pull it out of the stops
Even though we're not together like we used to be
D A D D Y, you can count on me
Coz when I'm feelin' down every now and then
I take a look into your eyes and then smile again

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]:
Forget about Batman, Superman and the Power Rangers
Coz I'mma be your hero if you ever in some danger
This ain't the huxtables and my name ain't Cliff
No matter how old you get you could get that ass whipped
Daddy don't take no mess
And I ain't gone settle for nothing less than your very best
When I do what I do coz you did what you did
It's coz I ain't the kind of father that be raising no dum-ass kids
You gosta be a leader, it's my responsiblity to teach ya
Right from wrong, and make decisions of your own
I never said that I was perfect
But I know that you're worth it so
I'ma do my damnest to make sure you get some chances
So just listen to your daddy coz he tryin to tell ya something
And don't let nobody tell ya I don't love ya coz they frontin'
Coz when I'm feelin' down every now and then
I take a look into your eyes and then smile again

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]:
Every day is a struggle when life is like a puzzle
That we gotta put together
Together so and ever
You need a shoulder to cry on and someone you can rely on
Your daddy's home
I'm tryin'a build a foundation on which you could stand
When you's a grown woman and you's a grown man
I got open ears when the world ain't tryin' hear
When I can't be there in the flesh I be there in the spir-it
I'm tryina make an impression on the things that you care for
The knowledge that I give, you could teach your kids
I know it's hard growing up coz I used to be a youngsta
So we don't work as a team, saw the liquor take us under
People let me tell ya about my best friends
Coz I'm down with the children all the way 'til the end
Coz when I'm feelin' down every now and then
I take a look into their eyes and then smile again

[Chorus] & Fadeout #HipHop50

RIP Coolio ! This song means so much to me, thank you for this gem

cesarcastelan

My condolences must go out to Coolio's children and family as this song is sadly overlooked to this day.
May he rest in Gangsta's Paradise.🙏

One of my first CD's back when I was in 6th grade was this Album. This song meant even more to me when my baby girl was born in 2006. RIP Coolio 🙏🏾

Funny how you don't hear positive stuff like this catching any air play. No new songs out there giving young men that are or about to be fathers positive outlooks and encouragement on parenthood. WE NEED MORE POSITIVE VIBES LIKE THIS!!

robertvasquez

The song played at my fathers funeral,
He used to listen to this when he was away from home with work missing his kids. Rip dad and coolio

Brings me lot memories when i was a teenager 1995🔥🔥🔥

drearodriguez

Damned, that tune, i listened it when i was young, and listening it after being in his situation makes it really incredible.

My favorite song by this seemingly forgotten artist.. one of the most popular songs of the 90s was to his credit. Seeing the miniscule views this gem has racked up makes me kinda sad.. This was a single Dad's anthem.. still is, for many.. ✌🏻
