[Hook:]
I came from drugs, women, fast cash nights
Now I hear my baby laughing under soft night lights
From the streets to a life I understand
She calls me daddy, holding tight to my hand
From the block to the crib – who would've known?
Used to run from cops, now I jump at a baby’s moan
And she lays next to me, my peace, my path
From gangster to father – I’m done with the past
---
[Verse 1:]
My heart used to be cold like the ice in my drink
Pushed weight on the corner, didn’t have time to think
Every night a new face, every week a new crew
But no matter what I stacked, happiness never grew
Had friends who’d switch for ten bucks and a pack
And girls who vanished when the sky turned black
I was rich in problems, broke in my soul
Smiled through hell just to play that role

[Hook:]
I came from drugs, women, fast cash nights
Now I hear my baby laughing under soft night lights
From the streets to a life I understand
She calls me daddy, holding tight to my hand
From the block to the crib – who would've known?
Used to run from cops, now I jump at a baby’s moan
And she lays next to me, my peace, my path
From gangster to father – I’m done with the past
---
[Verse 2:]
Then she came – not loud, just real
Didn’t want my chains, just helped me heal
Took the gun from my hand, the weight from my chest
Showed me how to breathe and gave my soul rest
A year later came a gift with ten small toes
And I knew right then I had to let go
Saw my old life in her clear blue eyes
And made a vow to never tell more lies
---
[Bridge:]
Now I build with Legos, not powder stacks
I carry diapers, not packs in plastic wraps
I’m rich – not in cash, but in truth
A wife, a child – that’s living proof
---
[Final Hook – strong ending:]
I came from drugs, women, fast cash nights
Now I hear my baby laughing under soft night lights
From the streets to a life I understand
She calls me daddy, holding tight to my hand
From the block to the crib – who would've known?
Used to run from cops, now I jump at a baby’s moan
And she lays next to me, my peace, my path
From gangster to father – I’m done with the past
