Daddy's Girl

Since you been home mommy and dad ain’t been resting But I ain't complaining cause I know that God sent a blessing It seems like yesterday when we found out your mom was pregnant We were excited but she was nervous to tell her parents Cause we didn’t know how they’ll react But in fact, they were just as happy so that was that The first person I told about you was your Uncle Mac Then I told your aunt and your grandma right after that I remember going to those visits Hoping you’ll finally show your face but you never did it But who we're kidding, you your father's child You move at your own pace, run in your own race Explore in your own space, eat from your own plate Remember being at the reveal wearing that blue But deep down in my heart when that ball dropped I always hoped for you I must be the luckiest man because it came true Damn I'm thanking God it came true I won’t make a promise to you I can’t keep Won’t box in your mind to the point you can’t dream Won’t let you feel like there’s somethin' you can’t reach I promise to show you the things they can’t teach I promise to treat your mother like she’s a queen Promise to keep our fam together cause we built a team Now your daddy ain’t perfect, not by any means But through my flaws, I can still promise you those things And as you get older and I can’t hold you And your favorite transportation no longer my shoulders You want a Range Rover, your friends staying over When you turn 18 and finally the wait is over When your heart breaks and you think that the game is over And then you learn super quick that it really ain’t over When you go off to school and life hit you with a boulder Just always remember what daddy always told you I’m always here, I’m always near I made that clear, so don’t you fear No matter how things appear You’re forever my little girl, my princess in our little world I’ll be working to give you the world and I mean that Wish your great-grandma was here to see that You have her name so she’ll always be exactly where we at They say I'm overprotective, I’ll be that Knowing you good is where I get my peace at Believe that, yea But they might not understand I raised you but you help this boy grow into a man for real I won’t make a promise to you I can’t keep Won’t box in your mind to the point you can’t dream Won’t let you feel like there’s somethin' you can’t reach I promise to show you the things they can’t teach I promise to treat your mother like she’s a queen Promise to keep our fam together cause we built a team Now your daddy ain’t perfect, not by any means But through my flaws, I can still promise you those things
