Just like dad

Verse 1

Up with the sun, yeah he’s already gone

Work boots on, coffee strong

Whole world heavy but he carried it light

Smile on his face like everything’s alright

If you called, he’d slide through quick

Didn’t matter what time, didn’t matter what it is

Never asked for thanks, never kept score

Just gave and gave and gave some more

Pre-Chorus (build with claps)

Oh — that’s the way I’m wired

Heart on fire, never tired

Chorus (big + super catchy)

I’m just like my dad — hands up, heart wide

Love too big, got no place to hide

My way, strong faith, won’t back down

If you need me now, yeah I’m pulling up now

Give more, live more, that’s the plan

No “too busy” in who I am

If you see that light when I stand —

Yeah that’s me… I’m just like my dad

Verse 2

Stubborn mind but my soul stay soft

Pick people up when they feeling lost

Forgive fast, never hold no grudge

Too much love in my blood to judge

Time don’t stop but I make the time

For every friend, every cousin, every line

They say “why you care so much?”

‘Cause he showed me how — that’s just us

Pre-Chorus

Oh — built from that old-school strength

Work all day, still give what’s left

Chorus (bigger)

I’m just like my dad — hands up, heart wide

Love too big, got no place to hide

My way, strong faith, won’t back down

If you need me now, yeah I’m pulling up now

Give more, live more, that’s the plan

No “too busy” in who I am

If you see that light when I stand —

Yeah that’s me… I’m just like my dad

Rap Bridge (fast, fun bounce)

Yeah — grind mode, still got grace

Smile strong even stress in my face

Ten toes down, never switch sides

Whole lotta love, got nothin’ to hide

Help first, me last, that’s facts

Built tough, heart gold, can’t cap that

If you ask where I learned that from

Look back — yeah you know that’s him

Break (crowd chant)

Like my dad! (hey!)

Like my dad! (hey!)

Hands high — heart wide — live like that!

Final Chorus (choir/gang vocals layered)

I’m just like my dad — loud and proud

Shine that love, gonna say it out loud

Always there, always around

Even when life tries weighing me down

More love, more time, more hands

That’s the code that made this man

Every step, every plan —

I’m my father’s son… yeah I’m just like my dad

Outro

Hey — like my dad

Wouldn’t trade that for the world
