Yessir
Shoutout Trae Tha Truth
Rest in peace to Kobe Bryant and his daughter, Gianna Bryant
See, I saw this lady on ESPN the other day
Talking bout a conversation she had with Kobe
Talking bout 'girl dads'
Saying she was having a little girl, and she asked Kobe
Kobe said having a little girl is great, you know?
He has four girls, I have three girls
So, I'm a girl dad
You never know when this shit lasts so cherish em
[Verse 1]
September 21st was the best day of my life
It was 2014 and I was resting with my wife
In the hospital room, waiting for your birth
Coming fresh out the womb, take a breath on this earth
I remember vividly being nervous of the dangers
Not knowing my kid will be this perfect little angel
Was I ready to be a dad? I'll admit I was scared
Of doing really bad because I never was prepared
I would reminisce how I doubted, thinking we couldn't have children
You came out 6 pounds 5 ounces, eighteen and a half inches
You were the prettiest thing that my eyes have ever seen
And I knew right then that you were my everything
Your hair would barely curl, but you're my baby girl
I couldn't wait to show you off cause you was ready for the world
You came to my rescue from the boy I was before
To make a man is something special, kick the old-me out the door
I'll give my all to protect you, I never will neglect you
Cause I know it may affect you. so it's you I pay respect to
I never did expect to have my flesh and blood
Apply some added pressure but that added pressure's good
[Verse 2]
Now its December 21st, year is 2016
It was my second daughter's birth, a beautiful mixed queen
19 inches, 3 quarters, 7 pounds and 1 ounce
In this life we need order, so just know your love counts
I heard your helpless cry with your first breath of air
We made another Texas life, no girl on Earth can compare
I stared into your precious eyes and a head full of hair
Anticipating restless nights, but for this test I was prepared
And hands down, that day was best of the year
Nothing less can compare, I confess that I feared
That my pass would appear to make mess interfere
When something special is near because depression is weird
Strikes my chest like a spear, I learned my lesson, it's clear
To leave my stress in the rear, evil thoughts were in my mind
It's voice rested in my ear but I will not leave you behind
I won't oppress or disappear, it's hard to measure how we're-
Gonna pressure our peers through rest of the years
Cause what's next is unclear, to suppress is too severe
I make a gesture of cheer, I might express it with tears
Cause you're so precious, my dear
I'm just so blessed that you're here
[Verse 3]
It was just last year, 2019, May 17th
You were born with biggest smile I could say I ever seen
Just gums, no teeth, so young, so sweet
No one competes, I go numb, I go weak on the knees
Every time I get to look you in your eyes
I think that we can go the distance, our only limit is the sky
6 pounds 3 ounces, then start to analyse
You were your birth year in inches
19 was the perfect size, I promise I won't act surprised
If you're attracting all the guys, after all, you are beautiful
Just know the facts from all the lies, but you have to realise
That the actual prize is to have self worth
Wtch your back and be wise
I just ask and advise cause these jackers on the rise
In a mask, in a disguise to distract and devise
A plan to take all you got and leave you left with nothing
The things I was never taught, that's why we're having this discussion
You're a baby now, you can't talk and I guess that that is fine
Cause I know that this song will withstand the test of time
As for right now, I'm chilling
But to the top, I expect to climb
With my wife and my children
Knowing we're all the next to shine
