Why You Wanna Keep Me From My Baby

[Intro: Aaron Hall & Teddy Riley]
My first son
Isn't he beautiful?
I'm not gonna let nothin'
I mean nothin' come between me and him
God, I thank you for my seed
And for that, I'll raise him right, forever
Representin' for the fathers that can't see they seeds
Don't worry about it
Trust it'll be alright, nah'mean? (Wanna see my baby)
Ya feel me? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Listen up

[Verse 1: Aaron Hall]
Seems like only yesterday when I first held my baby
I remember just the feeling of joy
Well, taken there in an instant
I tried my best to fight against it
Just to face the fact she don't want me around
After ten long years, I refuse to believe
How could this woman take my baby and run? Oh, no
No matter what, I'm his father
Have every right to encounter
I wanna spend some time with my baby boy, you know
So tell me

[Chorus: Guy & Aaron Hall]
Why you wanna keep me from my baby? (Why?)
Sittin' here drivin' me crazy (Never done nothin' wrong)
I never did nothin' wrong to my child (Oh, yeah)
You say you wanna keep it straight business (Say you wanna keep it straight business)
Tell me, girl, what is this? (What's wrong?)
I know I did my half for my child (I gave you everything I had)

[Verse 2: Aaron Hall & Guy]
As I look into the mirror, so many times I would dream of
Waking up and standing at your front door, oh, yeah
Just as I was about to knock, something in me said, "Stop
You need to walk away and it will work out"
And I cried, I cried
Lord knows I tried to be the bigger man
Not let myself do something wrong
The pain I feel to be prolonged
And I'm still shocked, how could you be so cruel?
If you were me, what would you do?
Don't you think he has the right to find out
That his daddy loves him too?

[Chorus: Guy & Aaron Hall]
Why you wanna keep me from my baby? (Why?)
Sittin' here drivin' me crazy (Crazy)
I never did nothin' wrong to my child (I've never done nothin' wrong to my child)
You say you wanna keep it straight business (Say)
Tell me, girl, what is this? (What is this?)
I know I did my half for my child (I know)

[Bridge: Aaron Hall]
Why do this to me? What did I ever do to you?
Now I don't care, I'm gonna be there
I wanna know my child
So tell me

[Chorus: Guy & Aaron Hall]
Why you wanna keep me from my baby? (Why? Why? Why? Why?)
Sittin' here drivin' me crazy (Ooh)
I never did nothin' wrong to my child (I never did nothin' wrong to my child)
You say you wanna keep it straight business (Say-ay-ay)
Tell me, girl, what is this? (What is this?)
I know I did my half for my child (I know deep in my heart)
Why you wanna keep me from my baby? (Why?)
Sittin' here drivin' me crazy (You wanna make a grown man cry)
I never did nothin' wrong to my child (I just wanna be with my baby boy)
You say you wanna keep it straight business (Say-ay-ay-ay-ay)
Tell me, girl, what is this? (What is this?)
I know I did my half for my child (I know I did my half for my child)

[Outro: Aaron Hall]
Yo, son, I just want you to know
That I don't care what's goin' on in your mother's personal life
All I care about is you, and I love you
And I will love you 'til the day I die
And just remember one thing, I'm your father
