Daddy's Little Girl

No matter how much things are pullin' me

Promise to never stray and on my worst day

You gon' make it feel like everything's okay

Things will get blurry in this world, but don't worry

We'll find a way

I be damned if they disrespect you, they know your daddy don't play

Got a problem, we'll figure it out together, my pleasure

I'll treasure every single last moment we spend together

The thought of you smilin' at me will clear up the bad weather

Summer time or mid-winter with matching leathers

Gotta change my life around immediately, no more pleading with me

I don't got the time for y'all, God called, can't believe he picked me

Hope you don't want the life I chose, spend all these years fame dodging

Five in the morning, thinkin' 'bout you scribbling down name options

Sure to get everything you want, can't wait to go game shoppin'

And even in the moment you may think I'm not, I'm watchin'

Everything that was blurry is makin' sense to me

Ask myself what I have to live for and then it was sent to me

Anybody can see you're special

If you should ever fall, I catch you

You'll always be my baby girl

Don't let this world affect you

You know how much I love you

I hug you, and I don't feel no pain at all

Always be there for you if you should call

I ain't know where my life was goin', you came to me and changed it all

One time for my baby girl

Uh, harder contractions, now I'm shook for real

My temperature's rising, heart's poundin', too excited to keep the look concealed

All that I hoped for revealed

My mind is racin' forward

Tryna hold everything together as I cut the cord

Felt like a sword hearing your first cry

Emotions ran heavy, too quick to curve mine

Much needed rehearse time

Thanking the Lord as I applaud him

And I know your grandad is still lookin' down 'cause you were born the day before him

Spittin' image of your pops from his face to his style to match me

Vivid clip plays in my mind when I spoke and you looked right at me

Been through so much but as long as you're here, I'm happy

Everything's coming together how I envisioned exactly

Promise to keep your protector and with you for every part

Knew I would have a baby girl at nineteen, broke way too many hearts

Won't lose my light again 'cause your eyes will light up the dark

Soon as my fire went low, God provided my biggest spark, uh

Anybody can see you're special

If you should ever fall, I catch you

You'll always be my baby girl

Don't let this world affect you

You know how much I love you

I hug you, and I don't feel no pain at all

Always be there for you if you should call

I ain't know where my life was goin', you came to me and changed it all

One time for my baby girl

Came in my life right as it broke me up, gradually doin' bad

My only wish is to become the best dad you can ever have

Scared of the day you get mad at me, just relax

I'm speakin' to you from experience, these are nothing but facts

The world will change you, and for me to get relief, I reflect

SID paranoia, couldn't even go to sleep while you slept

Family is here, when people ain't, my job's to keep it in check

Shoot for the stars, don't just settle for a dream you can catch

I even dreamt about you before the day that you were conceived

Crazy you gave me life, you gave me mine back hearin' you breathe

Hope you don't hear none of stories about me, I had to freeze

Cold-blooded, you can't control who you fall in love with, believe

If you just put your mind to something, you can will it

You remind me of your great grandmother, I feel her spirit

Keepin' your picture on my phone keeps me grounded when I'm not home

Countin' the hours down to hug you

Please don't rush to be grown, uh

Anybody can see you're special

If you should ever fall, I catch you

You'll always be my baby girl

Don't let this world affect you

You know how much I love you

I hug you, and I don't feel no pain at all

Always be there for you if you should call

I ain't know where my life was goin'

You came to me and changed it all

One time for my baby girl
