[Intro]
Boots on the floor, head held high
Taught me how to rise, not just how to try
His silence hit louder than a crowd
When he nodded, I stood proud
[Verse 1]
He said, “Don’t flinch when the world gets mean”
Made of calloused hands and gasoline
Watched me fall just to see me climb
Never rushed me, just gave me time
Kept it solid through every storm
He was built where the tough are born
Didn’t need to preach, didn’t have to shout
I figured his love out without a doubt
[Chorus]
That’s my dad, strong as steel
Hard to read but always real
Taught me fightin’ without fear
Even when the end looked near
He’s the bass in my heart, the pulse in my track
The reason I never turn my back
In every win I ever had
Yeah, that’s my dad
[Verse 2]
Let me slip, let me make that choice
He believed more in action than voice
Didn’t save me when I wrecked the ride
But he was there when I swallowed pride
Never gave me gold, just grit
Made me hustle, never quit
Every scar became a badge
Every “no” a reason to grab
[Chorus]
That’s my dad, strong as steel
Hard to read but always real
Taught me fightin’ without fear
Even when the end looked near
He’s the bass in my heart, the pulse in my track
The reason I never turn my back
In every win I ever had
Yeah, that’s my dad
[Bridge]
No trophy, no fame
But I carry his name
Every beat, every step
Every bar, every rep
[Verse 3]
Now I’m standin’ where he stood
Tryna raise mine just as good
Using his voice when I speak
Got his fire when I’m weak
Passed me strength without the words
Raised me right without the herd
The code he lived I still repeat
Solid love that moves your feet
[Final Chorus + Outro]
That’s my dad, strong as steel
Hard to read but always real
Taught me fightin’ without fear
Even when the end looked near
He’s the bass in my heart, the pulse in my track
The reason I never turn my back
In every win I ever had
Yeah, that’s my dad
Yeah, that’s my dad
