I want to apologize for makin you wait so long for the sequel

You ever been like

Let me talk to my daughter 

Daughter this is your poppa 

I know it's been a while 

We haven't talked

But daddy you've been gone 

And me and mom have been all alone 

It's been a struggle and you weren't there for us

[Wyclef Jean] 

Okay, when I called you 

She wouldn't put you on the phone 

She call the police, restrainin order 

50 feet, from my home 

I tried, I ain't lyin 

It's so sad that the heavens cryin, AYY~! 

Once a boy and twice a man 

I'm just tryin to do the best I can 

Give me a chance girl 

[Chorus: Wyclef] 

A grown man ain't supposed to cry 

So why does water fill my eyes when I hear your voice 

Everything gon' be alright 

Baby girl I'm by your side, dry your eyes

[Verse Two: Mary J. Blige] 

Let's talk this over 

Now see I heard everything that you told her 

But it's gon' take more than words 

for you to be a father, uh-huh 

Responsibilities of a man 

Like stayin faithful just for the fam' 

What if she knew that you chose 

another over her mother, aowwww! 

So you called her 

and I wouldn't put her on the phone 

I called the police yes, restrainin order 

50 feet, from my home 

I tried, I ain't lyin 

It's so sad that the heavens are cryin, yeahhh 

Once a girl, twice of a man 

And I'ma try to do the best I can 

I can't give you a chance noooo 

[Chorus: Blige] 

A woman ain't supposed to cry 

So why don't you just wipe your eyes, dry your eyes 

You've learned a house is not a home 

When you're living all alone, and you want back home 

[Verse Three: Wyclef] 

WAIT A MINUTE GIRL! You're my joy, happiness that you bring 

Turn the fall back to spring girl, you're my bling 

You a hip-hop song I heard for the first time time 

Studied all the words to the rhyme 

You're my life, without you there's no sun, there's no moon 

There's no stars, shinin in the ni-iight 

[Mary J. Blige] 

But if I give you a chance, would you show me you care 

Be a man, no matter what the circumstances 

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOW~! 

[Chorus: Wyclef] 

A grown man ain't supposed to cry 

So why does water fill my eyes when I hear your voice 

[Blige] 

You've learned a house is not a home 

When you're living all alone, and you want back home 

[Chorus: Wyclef] 

A grown man ain't supposed to cry 

So why does water fill my eyes when I hear your voice 

(What about the baby~! What about the baby~!) 

Everything gon' be alright 

Baby girl I'm by your side, I apologize! 

I cry, and I cry, I cry
