[Verse 1] Clock out of work, Race home, Stuck in traffic again When the work day ends, that’s when the real work begins Tryin’a beat them home, but I haven’t done it yet Cuz the traffic’s getting worse and misery loves a set Heavy traffic plus impatience means I’m getting home real late I just hope that my wife remembers to set an extra plate And put it in the microwave for me For when I get home. I’m getting sick and tired of eating dinner alone [Pre chorus] Driveway sighs when it hear me pull in But the kids demand the Dad shift just begins Change into the husband suit, formal enough for her More than tired but the family must come first [chorus] Man of the house and king of the castle The hustle and bustle, the chaos the hassle But they need me, just like, I’m in need of them That’s why when I get off of work… The real work begins [Verse 2] The kids scream and they run, all through the house But they young and having fun, still tryna figure this life out But with their Momma by my side, I can make it through the day Even with this crazy life, her playful smile’s all she has to say [prechorus] When the bedtime mayhem is finally underway And they teeth is brushed and we done bartered our way To them staying in bed and gave their extra book That’s when Momma gives Daddy that, come and get me look [chorus] Man of the house and king of the castle The hustle and bustle, the chaos the hassle But they need me, just like, I’m in need of them That’s why when I get off of work… The real work begins [Verse 3] It’s an honest days work and a life that works for me But every now and then I wonder what it be like if I were free If I could genie in a bottle, if he could only let me see I’d see that I need them more than they know And more they I could say And that’s enough for me to make it to another day [Bridge] Honestly I don’t know how we have the time To get the things done, but somehow we find A way to keep it together, to keep our life intact Despite the large amount of sleep that we both lack [chorus] Man of the house and king of the castle The hustle and bustle, the chaos the hassle But they need me, just like, I’m in need of them That’s why when I get off of work… The real work begins [chorus] Man of the house and king of the castle The hustle and bustle, the chaos the hassle But they need me, just like, I’m in need of them That’s why when I get off of work… The real work begins [outro-spoken] Hey momma I just put them down Won’t you come give daddy a kiss
