Yo
I can't sing it
I feel like singin
I wanna fucking sing
Cos i'm happy
Yeh, i'm happy
HaHa
I got my baby back
Yo, check it out

Some days i sit, staring out the window
Watchin' this world pass me by
Sometimes i think there's nothing to live for
I almost break down and cry

Sometimes i think i'm crazy
I'm crazy, oh so crazy
Why am i here, am i just wasting my time?

But then i see my baby
Suddenly i'm not crazy
It all makes sense when i look into her eyes

Chorus
Somtimes it feels like the world's on my shoulders
Everyone's leaning on me
Cos sometimes it feels like the world's almost over
But then she comes back to me

My baby girl keeps gettin' older
I watch her grow up with pride
People make jokes, cuz they don't understand me
They just don't see my real side

I act like shit, dont phase me,
Inside it drives me crazy
My insecurities could eat me alive

But then i see my baby
Suddenly i'm not crazy
It all makes sense when i look into her eyes

Chorus

Yeh and if i could sing, i'd keep singing this song to my daughter
If i could hit the notes, i'd blow something as long as my father
To show her how i feel about her, how proud i am that i got 'er
God, i'm a daddy, i'm so glad that her mum didn't want her

Now you probaly get this picture from my public persona
That i'm a pistol-packing drug-addict who bags on his momma,
But i wanna just take this time out to be perfectly honest
Cuz there's a lot of shit i keep bottled that hurts deep inside o' my soul,
And just know that i grow colder the older i grow
This boulder on my shoulder that gets heavy and harder to hold
And this load is like the weight of the world
And i think my neck is breaking should i just give up
Or try to live up to these expectations? now look,
I love my daughter more than life in itself,
But i got a wife who's determined to make my life living hell
But i handle it well, given the circumstances i'm dealt
So many chances, man, it's too bad, coulda had someone else
But the years that i've wasted are nothing to the tears that ive tasted
So here's what im facin: 3 felonies, 6 years of probation
I've went to jail for this woman, i've been to bat for this woman
I've taken bastard peoples' backs bent over backwards for this woman
Man, i shoulda seen it comin, why'd i stick my penis uppin?
Woulda ripped the pre-nup up if i'd seen what she was fuckin
But fuck it, it's over, there's no more reason to cry no more
I got my baby, maybe the only lady that i adore, haley
So sayonara, try tomorra, nice to know ya
My baby's travelled back to the arms of her rightful owner
And suddenly it seems that my shoulder blades have just shifted
Its like the greatest gift you can get
The weight has been lifted

Chorus
And now it don't feel like the world's on my shoulders
Everyone's leaning on me
Cuz my baby knows that her daddy's a soldier
nothing can take her from me

Woow!
I told you, i can't sing.
Oh well, i tried
Haley, remember when i said
If you ever need anything, daddy will be right there?
Well guess what, daddy's here.
And i ain't goin nowhere baby
I love you

    General Comment:i love this song!
    i like how he has his sensitive side with just him singing then has to get all loud and angry before the chorus starts, it's awesome. and of chorus him topping it off with a rapped verse :) he is truly an amazing artist to combine so much feeling into one song and have it actually mean something.

    General Comment:damn i really like this song hopefully em sings on at least one song on relapse he sounds good in his own way


    and its supposed to say abort her but the label censored it even on the explicit versions like on "kim" with the verse ""There's a four year old little boy, laying dead with a slit throat!""

    General Comment:This is the other side of Eminem.

    He knows that when he wrote this song that he was on tour a lot and didn't see his baby as much as he wanted.

    He sings about what an impact his little girl has done to his life and how much of an impact she still does. All of the bullshit that he's been through, he know that his daughter can make it go away and make him smile and make him feel at home.
