inhale...exhale....im not doin so well
pressures of the world, like a living hell
the bills are due, the fridge is empty
you got phat pockets, please dont tempt me
lost in the dark, searchin for my guiding light
mischief round every corner, but im tryin to live right
my kids lookin up, and a real man is what they see
tears in my eyes, cuz i aint who they need me to be
struggling with life, wishin for better
my girl tries to help, too stubborn to let her
lookin at the world, wondering how to make it
all this bullshit, i just cant take it
frustrated as hell, i toss my hands in the air
fightin a losin battle, wonderin why i care
but then i see, them two angels lookin at me
eyes wide with thoughts of what is to be
i see their future rests upon my shoulders
a great responsibility, and as they get older
i can only hope that they will see
daddy wasnt perfect, but he was the best man he could be
