Dad and me

I like my mornings slow, hoodie on, chill mode

No rush, no schedule, no “you’re too old”

I see the world in quiet steps

Not a race — just a vibe, just do your best

I know you mean well, but I need space

Not every hill’s a hill to chase

You see a ladder, I see a tree

You climb fast — I just let it be

I wake up early, got things to do

I see time slipping and goals to pursue

I built my life one task at a time

While you’re dreamin’, son — I’m grindin’ mine

It ain’t about pressure, it’s about pride

I just want to see you walk with stride

I see the storm — you see the sky

I push ahead — you wonder why

We got different eyes, different ways to live

You slow it down, I push to give

You say peace, I say plan

You sit still, I move and stand

But in the middle of all these sides

I see you — and you see mine

We don’t agree, but we don’t need to fight

We’re just walkin’ life… with different eyes

You say “just do it,” I say “what’s the rush?”

I’m tryin’ to figure out what matters enough

I know you built this world from scratch

But I’m still learnin’ where I’m at

You call it lazy, I call it peace

You want full speed — I need release

I’m not you, and I don’t need to be

I just need you to believe in me

It’s not about bein’ tough or strong

I just want you to find what lasts long

I’ve seen what happens when time gets wasted

Dreams get dusty and chances faded

I ain’t mad — just scared sometimes

That the world’ll hit you harder than mine

But if you lead with heart and not just style

Then son, you’ll always make me proud… by miles

We got different eyes, different ways to see

But there’s love in every version of “me”

You move slow, I move fast

But both of us… we’re built to last

You see stars, I see signs

You dream wild, I draw lines

But side by side, we find the light

We’re just walkin’ life… with different eyes

Brady: I know I’m not wired like you…

Dad: And I don’t want you to be.

Just be better. Be you.

I’ll be here.
