(Intro - Soft piano, deep 808s building up) (Mmm, yeah, yeah, yeah...) Prayin’ every night, tryna get it right... Hope one day they see, what I gave my life...
(Chorus - Smooth melodic vocals, layered harmonies) I just wanna be a good dad (Yeah, yeah) / Give ‘em everything I ain’t had (Ayy, ayy) / Prayin’ that they see my heart, all the love I played my part / One day they gon’ look back and say, “Damn, he gave it all”
(Verse 1 - Rap flow, melodic—pain in the voice) Long nights, no sleep, tryna make it stretch / Every dollar that I get, man, I reinvest / Not in me, but in them, yeah, my lil' ones / ‘Cause I came from a place where we had none / I ain't tryna raise ‘em how the streets did me / Wanna show ‘em love, not let the pain breed / Tryna keep the light on in a dark place / Tryna leave a legacy, not just a name
(Chorus - Big drums drop, soulful harmonies in background) I just wanna be a good dad (Yeah, yeah) / Give ‘em everything I ain’t had (Ayy, ayy) / Prayin’ that they see my heart, all the love I played my part / One day they gon’ look back and say, “Damn, he gave it all”
(Verse 2 - Faster flow, raw emotion, 808s knockin’ harder) I remember days I ain’t have no role model / Now I’m pourin’ love in my babies like a bottle / Told ‘em life hard but you gotta stay solid / And if you ever fall, stand up, be about it / Made mistakes, yeah, I know I did / But I never ran out on my kids / Through the struggle, through the fights / I just pray they see I tried
(Verse 3 - Deep reflection, emotional build-up to final chorus) One day they gon’ have kids of their own / Hope they teach ‘em all the things that I’ve shown / If they ever feel lost, if they ever feel doubt / Just know I was right here, tryna figure it out / I ain’t perfect, but I gave my soul / Every hug, every tear, every hand I hold / If I leave today, hope my love remains / And they smile when they hear my name
(Bridge - Beat slows down, choir-like harmonies come in) They don’t know what I been through / They don’t see what I done lost / But I gave ‘em all my soul / I just hope they know the cost...
(Chorus - Final big chorus, emotional climax, drums and bass hit hard) I just wanna be a good dad (Yeah, yeah) / Give ‘em everything I ain’t had (Ayy, ayy) / Prayin’ that they see my heart, all the love I played my part / One day they gon’ look back and say, “Damn, he gave it all”
(Outro - Piano fades, deep breath, acapella harmony to close it out) Maybe one day... Maybe one day... They gon’ see... I did my best, yeah...
