Die For You - Nelly

You dontcha know i'd die for ya

I'd lay out my life for ya i would die for

You dontcha know i'd die for ya

I'd lay out my life for ya i would die for you

I remember feburary 27 1994

Trying to make it to the hospital through 3 inches of snow

Somethings going wrong i can tell but i don't know

I got this feeling in my gut this ain't how it supposed 2 go

3 pounds 2 ounces and 2 months premature

To the incubator is she gon make it they ain't sure

Automatically i placed the blame on my health

Hell i'm a father mayne i placed the blame on myself

Was it something that i smoked did i eat or did i drink it

Or was it something i was doing that i did or did i think it

Watching her breathe through a hose in her nose

Whats this ckg machine wats this sh*t on her toes

This 94 i'm 85 so i'm spooked as can be

I'm praying and i'm asking why he do this to me

See i used to hold you in the palm of my hand

And jus to see you pull through

Sh*t i knew you'd pull through

You dontcha know i'd die for ya

I'd lay out my life for ya i would die for

You dontcha know i'd die for ya

I'd lay out my life for ya i would die for you

March the 2nd 1999

The yurrr and the date i got my little mine

I guess i felt how my father felt and his father felt

And his father must have felt to see hiself

It's like a lil me in the flesh

He got my blood and my heart in his chest

Needless to say man i love him to death

Teach him if he disrespect me i'm'a love him to death

Left to go outa town right after he was born

Got a record deal 3 months later daddy was gone

It's like i'm tryin to raise him over the phone

He barely kno my face when he see it but he know my tone

I'm up at night like do he know who his daddy is

I'm real close to saying f**k the showbiz

But when i hurr him call his daddy na

And when i hurr him tell his friends

I wanna be jus like my daddy na

Hope he forgive me for the sacrifice

So he can have a better life than i had

You dontcha know i'd die for ya

I'd lay out my life for ya i would die for

You dontcha know i'd die for ya

I'd lay out my life for ya i would die for

You dontcha know i'd die for ya

I'd lay out my life for ya i would die for

You dontcha know i'd die for ya

I'd lay out my life for ya i would die for you
