I remember the night when I looked into your eyes
Caught my heart off guard with a special surprise
I thought it'd be alright, I'd better keep it real
Raising a kid is not that hard, should be no big deal
Your skin was gleaming, burning with passion
I drank you up like a whiskey old-fashioned
I can't be dreaming cause I'm wide awake
Time's up, it's enough, daddy's had all that he can take
I planted the seed, gave the best of me
Nine months later, many me was set free
Did you lose your mind, did you regret the birth
Baby mama's hard to find, disappeared from earth
He was born a prince, under a star
Asking around just where you are
I'm a king, he's the dream
Mama or not, we can do this thing
I watched him walk, stumble and fail
The first time he talked, said his mother's in hell
He's the toast of the town, the apple of my queen's eye
It won't bring us down, and trust us, we never cry
He's got a lot to learn in such a short time
He's got cities to burn and lyrics to rile
He looks like me, it's easy to see
When he's hurt, he bleeds like me
He's a child, becoming a man
I'm a proud father, doing all I can
I planted the seed, gave the best of me
Nine months later, many me was set free
Did you lose your mind, did you regret the birth
Baby mama's hard to find, disappeared from earth
He was born a prince, under a star
Asking around just where you are
I'm a king, he's the dream
Mama or not, we can do this thing
You had your chance to put up or shut up
You did the dance, but it was never enough
You made your choice to put out and get out
Never even heard your voice, no one cared what you're about
He's a strong man, with a big heart
Being f*cked at birth, never tore us apart
He was the weak link, on a strong chain
He never even asked for your name
He stood tall, in a world of pain
Not once did he ever shed the blame
All that rain, never left to stay
But you, baby mama, you feel the shame
I planted the seed, gave the best of me
Nine months later, many me was set free
Did you lose your mind, did you regret the birth
Baby mama's hard to find, disappeared from earth
He was born a prince, under a star
Asking around just where you are
I'm a king, he's the dream
Mama or not, we can do this thing
It's no mystery, just a part of history
The day you left was the day I declared victory
We held our hands high, not once did we cry
And we didn't give a damn, he never said goodbye
That prince will become a king
His story, everyone will see
You're cold and lonely, selling the drama
You'll never be more than the baby's mama
You have your chance to put up or shut up
You did the dance, but it was never enough
You made your choice to put on, get out
Never even heard your voice, no one cares where you're from
He's a strong man, with a big heart
Being f*cked at first, never told us apart
He was the weak link, on a strong chain
You're never evil than the baby's mama
