    Lyrics:
    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 man 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 basonette
    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 know I loved you more than life itself
    Then to my knees, and I begged the Lord please
    Let me be a good daddy, 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 the two of us)
    Just the two of us, building castles in the sky
    Just the two of us, you and I

      "Why sample a song if it won't be "better"?"
      Well...because it takes a song about one kind of love and tells a story of another kind of love. And in much greater detail than you'd hear expressed in the kind of song the original is.
      There are aspects of the original that was sampled that even fit better with the theme of fathers and children, to be quite honest. But that's because the original gave the room for this kind of perspective. By design.

      This isn’t from an era when rappers could be understood. Will always did things a little differently. He always said he refused to make music he wouldn’t let his children listen to. He didn’t cuss or use fouls language or references that were not child appropriate. He kept his music and his public image clean and respectable so his children could be proud of him. This is something no other rapper has even bothered to attempt.

    Always loved this song as a kid and when I heard it as an adult parent it made me bawl my eyes out. I spent a few years as a single mom and dedicated this to my son. I’m married now and when I look back on the single mom years it was a rough time in my life but it still feels special that it was just the two of us. I’m not having anymore kids but my husband is in the picture now and I’m so grateful, now it’s always the 3 of us🥰. My son is graduating HS in a couple years and this song will definitely be played at his graduation party!

      He clearly let his anger manifest into rage at that moment but has always shown to be a positive and uplifting person. That's part of the story though. He built himself up to be seen as "regal" and "above the petty stuff". The "right way" a successful black public figure is supposed to act and for others to aspire to. If it was a "ratchet" actor like Mark Walberg or something then it would've have been a big deal in terms of his reputation being sullied. I compared it to the Tiger Woods situation in terms of reputation. Even though he got through that and is still playing golf till this day, we will never see him as the "good ol boy next door" inspirational character he built up over his career

    Lost my dad (and my mom) last summer. They were 73/74 years old, God bless them. I am 42 now. Throughout my childhood and early life, he really didn't do much good for me at all. He was rather the narcissistic type, and I still have big scars from that. But you know what. The last year when he was alive, I was in a great trouble and he finally came through and gave me a huge helping hand. I am so happy and thankful that I can have that experience to look back on now! 💖

    A big role model while growing up for me was my goofy but wonderful Uncle. As we grew up, he fell in love with a manipulative/mentally abusive woman that took everything from him - and he still waits on her and does anything she wants while she is with other men. Much of the way he acts reminds me of one of my favorite TV icons growing up, Will Smith. Its sad to see someone fall in love because you can't control it, and love can make terrible men great and great men terrible. I don't care either way, I am and adult now but still just want my Uncle back.

    Bill Withers version: The bond between lovers
    Will Smith version: The bond between father and son.
    Both versions: simply beautiful

      I honestly prefer this cover over the original version. The original song is about the love between two people, which is great and all, but song is about how even though Smith has remarried and has a new son on the way, he ALWAYS be there for his first son as well. Beautiful.

    I Love me some Will Smith. Grew up watching Fresh Prince and enjoyed his 90's music. I will never forget the 1st time I watched this video. At the end, when he looks directly into the camera and says "Daddy loves you, daddy loves you, for the rest of your life", I shed tears. I thought it was such a heart melting gesture, so sweet and loving.
