Ear To Ear - Brother Ali

I shed my ex-wife kept my son with me Now me smiling ear to ear now that’s something to see, shit

I said my life, and my God and my songs

Good Lord Ya’ll

I said my life, and my God and my songs

Man no question use to always know that I was crazy

Guess it’s safe to say I came a long way baby

Mama throwing dishes at my ex-wife bitching at me never did envision daddy could be this happy, shit

To me not broke is rich

Got a two bedroom a new sofa to sit

For the first time ain’t go to Good Will or St. Steven’s

But IKEA put that boy together last weekend

Out in NY I met a fly Puerto Rican

Dimed out sales girl Victoria’s Secret

Took her on a train to Pennsylvaina for a weekend

that’s eighteen months ago dog, guess where she been?

Frozen tundra chillin with boy wonder

Done discovered love like a mother fucker

I tried to warn my baby that the winters no joke

She said «Big dick daddy I’ll just get me your coat»

Goddamn

I said my life, and my God and my songs

Good Lord Ya’ll

I said my life, and my God and my songs

Good Lord Ya’ll

Said I’m gonna do it for you

I’m gonna do it for you

Feeling fly as hell right about now

I done pushed a whole heap of hell out of my house

Any orphanage will clove and feed a kid

but I raise my little man teach him to live

That’s why he’s 4 years old and can read like he was 6

Behave and recite the Qur’an in Arabic

Eat healthy, knows all the words to Laddy Daddy

Taught him to use the potty without his Mummy

It’s three years away I ain’t the least bit nervous

I feel like I’ma do it real big in my thirties

Honestly love everybody in my circle

Been with me since the scrimmage and the dress rehearsal

Oh let me tell you that my sweet potato pie

Will curl your toenails and bring tears to your eyes

And all corny bullshit aside

your boys smiling for real the first time in my life

I said my life, and my God and my songs

Good Lord Ya’ll

I said my life, my God and my songs

Good Lord Ya’ll

Said I’m gonna do it for you

I’m gonna do it for you
