I'm Here |
I’m here… And baby I ain’t going nowhere |
I’m there… Through the good and the bad ‘cause I care |
And you know… To my love nothing really compares |
As you grow… I'll make sure that you’re properly prepared |
I’m anything you need me to be at any moment |
Whatever you need it’s yours if I own it |
I’m a provider, protector, a mentor |
Your shelter, a warm fleece blanket in the winter |
A helper, your personal assistant, your trainer |
A nagger, your very own personal complainer |
Your counselor and the president of your fan club |
Never been a child more worthy of this man’s love |
Your life coach, sensai, teacher, si-fu |
Your very own griot, a king that’ll lead you |
On a righteous path as we ward off evil |
Haters, naysayers, and fake people |
Your co-creator and your go to guy |
Until you find someone to go with and hop that broom |
But not too soon little baby of mine |
You got so much to do take it a day at a time |
If it’s a baby let it grow that’s what my pops told me |
So she grew to be beautiful, so lovely |
Kind-hearted, young girl with good spirits |
Charisma is the reason I relate to these lyrics |
And fatherhood is like a unique challenge to stay on balance |
And exceed far beyond the average |
I can’t understand when the men do them abandonment issues |
And run away from children that miss you |
There’s no other thing that compares to this |
Being a daddy its, just like life at its simplest |
Children are the gift of a lifetime, they carry your lifeline |
I know you love your daughter, she like mine |
Or even if she not ‘cause she yours and that’s of course |
The greatest part, and that’s why we raise ‘em with a heart |
Damn right, life ain’t no crystal stair, there’ll be some mistakes there |
Can’t promise perfection but my best yeah |
Ummm, let me see, damn I can’t remember |
A time when I felt something like this feeling |
Like a renewed living, to change why I’m here |
Know you gotta eat so I’m definitely prepared |
Though the time took less than a year |
Every schedule in my lifetime cleared from the moment you appeared |
Like 2 months before you’ll be delivered |
Practicing my holding techniques in the mirror |
Mother laughing at me, keep saying I’m getting weirder |
Guess its ‘cause I’m livid, excited ‘bout meeting our new spirit |
Anything that you need, got a ticket |
Fly you in on everything I know, with the quickness |
Building wit your uncles, get a wind of the experience |
Just an idea of it, knowing nothing like, really living it |
But whatever’s required, I’m giving it |
The power of creation, it can redefine living… |
Listen… |
Poppa Large, big shot of the home coast |
Mr. Butter the bread that’s waffle and wheat toast |
Ego booster |
Your number one fan |
Stacking these bricks so on a foundation you stand |
Your main investor, your room inspector |
Mr. Look it up in the dictionary, ya' need a firm answer. |
Ya'… |
Shoulder to lean on, your band-aid for knee scrapes |
I’m here to wipe away the tears when your cheeks need a break |
A house in the storm, a light in the dark |
I’m trying to give you the tools love to build your own ark |
To… sail the seas and traverse this life |
I’ll show you how to use to use the compass young but I can’t drive |
Here to son you son on how to treat the opposite sex |
And Princess, what it means to be shown respect |
You’s a king and queen |
Your futures is bright |
It’s so much to do, take it a day at a time love |
Name | Year |
