Happy Birthday Brandon

This song says it all. . .

Just the Two of Us
[As sung by Will Smith]

From the first time the doctor placed you in my arms
I knew I'd meet death before I'd let you meet harm
Although questions arose in my mind, would I be good enough?
Against wrong, choose right and be standin up

From the hospital that first night
Took a hour just ta get the carseat in right
People drivin all fast, got me kinda upset
Got you home safe, placed you in your bassinette



That night I don't think one wink I slept
As I slipped out my bed, to your crib I crept
Touched your head gently, felt my heart melt
Cause I knew I loved you more than life itself

Then to my knees, and I begged the Lord please
Let me be a good mom, all he needs
Love, knowledge, discipline too
I pledge my life to you

 


Just the two of us, we can make it if we try
Just the two of us, (Just me and you)
Just the two of us, building castles in the sky
Just the two of us, you and I

 





Five years old, bringin comedy
Everytime I look at you I think man, a little me
Just like me
Wait an see gonna be tall
Makes me laugh cause you got your mom's smart mouth an all

 

 

 


Sometimes I wonder, what you gonna be


A General, a Doctor, maybe a MC Haha,


I wanna kiss you all the time


But I will test that butt when you cut outta line, trudat

 

 


Uh-uh-uh why you do dat?
I try to be a tough mom, but you be makin me laugh

 



Crazy joy, when I see the eyes of my baby boy
I pledge to you, I will always do
Everything I can
Show you how to be a man Dignity, integrity, honor an

An I don't mind if you lose, long as you came with it
An you can cry, ain't no shame it it
It didn't work out with me an your dad
But yo, push come to shove You was conceived in love

 


So if the world attacks, and you slide off track


Remember one fact, I got your back

 

 

 



Just the two of us, we can make it if we try
Just the two of us, (Just me and you)
Just the two of us, building castles in the sky
Just the two of us, you and I

 



It's a full-time job to be a good mom
You got so much more stuff than I had
I gotta study just to keep with the changin times
101 Dalmations on your CD-ROM

See me - I'm tryin to pretend I know
On my PC where that CD go
But yo, ain't nuthin promised, one day I'll be gone
Feel the strife but trust life does go on

 

 

 


But just in case
It's my place
To impart
One day some girl's gonna break your heart
And ooh ain't no pain like from the opposite sex
Gonna hurt bad, but don't take it out on the next, son

 

 



Throughout life people will make you mad


Disrespect you and treat you bad


Let God deal with the things they do
Cause hate in your heart will consume you too

 

 



Always tell the truth, say your prayers
Hold doors, pull out chairs, easy on the swears
You're living proof that dreams come true

I love you and I'm here for you

Just the two of us, we can make it if we try
Just the two of us, (Just me and you)
Just the two of us, building castles in the sky
Just the two of us, you and I

I love you. . . for the rest of your life.
