Hard to Be a Daddy

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Southern beat, let’s talk truth

Listen up now

Daddy tryna be there, got dreams in his eyes

Want to see his baby girl rise, no disguise

But the road gets rocky, obstacles in the way

Trying to hold it down, every single day

Why they gotta make it so, so hard?

Is it love or just scars?

Trying to break through the maze

Daddy’s fightin’ through the haze

Girls, they need love, daddy’s the right man

Workin’ from the soul, do the best he can

But it’s a struggle sometimes, yeah, it’s a factual

He’s just tryin’ to be that daddy, so practical

Mothers got their reasons, history runs deep

But a father’s heart, man, it ain’t cheap

He wants to be present, be the anchor, be the guide

But some walls keep him out, he can’t turn the tide

Why they gotta make it so, so hard?

Is it love or just scars?

Trying to break through the maze

Daddy’s fightin’ through the haze

Girls, they need love, daddy’s the right man

Workin’ from the soul, do the best he can

But it’s a struggle sometimes, yeah, it’s a factual

He’s just tryin’ to be that daddy, so practical

Every tear, every prayer, a hope for better days

Daddy’s fight, mother’s love, in so many ways

Unity, we need that bridge, break down the wall

Love for the children, gotta stand tall

Southern beat, tell the world, it’s a fight for love

Daddy’s steady pushin’ from below, dreamin’ of

A future where it’s easy, no more hard times

Just love and peace, yeah, that’s the real rhyme
