Holding on the past, getting tired of fighting ghosts

Just want to be a dad, but that ain't how life goes

I'm focused in grind mode, I ain't got the time for

Anything that don't matter, I might aswell write a song

Instead of letting stress be what we doing the most

Reason for me to crash out, knowing I ain't wrong

But still, I want to try when I see the vibe gone

Cause right about now, need to be on my own, need to be on my own

I done lost so many people, let it bother my mental

Know it's hard talking to me, history that we been through

No more running from my problems, cause my father had issues

My motto is keep it moving, I ain't arguing with you

Our daughter is getting bigger, so that's small in the grand scheme

I got to make these moves, hit the street, keep my hands clean

Can't be getting distracted. Last thing that I need

Is you telling me as a woman what being a man means

Holding on the past, getting tired of fighting ghosts

Just want to be a dad, but that ain't how life goes

I'm focused in grind mode, I ain't got the time for

Anything that don't matter, I might as well write a song

Instead of letting stress be what we're doing the most

Reason for me to crash out, knowing I ain't wrong

But still I want to try when I see the vibe gone

Cause right about now, need to be on my own, need to be on my own

I'm bad at this co parenting, I ain't for the theatrics

I don't get nothing out of it, except for seeing my family

By that I'm meaning my kid, she asks when I'ma get married

One day I want to be a husband, now I'm a baby daddy

Ain't acting like I've been perfect. Attitude I'm adjusting

I'm happy when you come up. I want you to find love

So we both can stop settling still I'm there when it's tough

To help out, and not be a bum, but when is it enough

Holding on the past, getting tired of fighting ghosts

Just want to be a dad, but that ain't how life goes

I'm focused in grind mode, I ain't got the time for

Anything that don't matter, I might as well write a song

Instead of letting stress be what we're doing the most

Reason for me to crash out, knowing I ain't wrong

But still I want to try when I see the vibe gone

Cause right about now, need to be on my own, need to be on my own
