Lyrics

(Gerald Talking)
You know sometimes we can seem to take things for granted
Especially the things that are there all the time
But sometimes you gotta sit back and realize that
Some people aren’t so fortunate
You know they aren’t so blessed to have someone they can talk to
Somebody they can sit with and say
I’ll always be there for you
I love you, I got your back
First Verse
(Eddie Singing)
I know you have those days when it seems like the whole worlds
Against you nobody’s with you
You know the days when it seems like you woke up on the
Wrong side of the bed and you wish you were dead
But I’m the one to pick you up when you’re down
Help you get your feet firmly on the ground
See I’m your friend when you’re rich or poor
See you’ll never be alone
(Chorus)
I got your back
And I’ll go to the war for you
I got your back
And I will take the fall for you
I got your back
I’ll remember everything you do
You got it like that (like that)
Like that (like that)
You know it’s true I’m here for you
(Gerald Singing)
I’m the one you can call when you’re in pain
Or when you’re hurting
I’ll never be a burden
And I’ll understand those times
That you don’t want to be bothered
I love you my father so
Just know I’m here
When you need somebody to talk to
I’ll come running
Say you got it like that and I
(Chorus)
I got your back
And I’ll go to the war for you
I got your back
And I will take the fall for you
I got your back
I’ll remember everything you do
You got it like that (like that)
Like that (like that)
You know it’s true I’m here for you
(Bridge)
Oh, take me to the bridge
Want you to know that I appreciate you for being here
You are my shoulder when nobody seems to care
When you did not have to go out your way
I could call on your words of wisdom everyday
So I take the time to thank you for being you
Understanding everything I was going through
You see daddy
My son
Together see we are as one
Oh I’m down
I’m down
All the way down for you
Yeah, yeah
I’ve got your back
I’ve got your back Daddy
Say I’m down
You can’t do no wrong
You can’t do no wrong
In my eyes
And you got it like that
Said you got it like that
I know you’re got it oh, oh
(Chorus) x2
I got your back
And I’ll go to the war for you
I got your back
And I will take the fall for you
I got your back
I’ll remember everything you do
You got it like that (like that)
Like that (like that)
You know it’s true I’m here for you
