Tryna raise a daughter, but it's only getting harder
Put myself on child support, even though I know I support her
See my baby saved my life, I was suicidal before her
Never mind that, that's a story, I'll save it for when you older
Look I'm not playing victim, yes, I cut your mama good and deep
Just thinkin' 'bout if someone did the same to you, I couldn't sleep
I'm sorry baby, daddy had some secrets that he couldn't keep
Like you was 'bout to be a big sister at just a couple weeks
'Cause I was living selfishly
Fucked it all up, now I can't blame nobody else but me
Swear it keeps me up at night
I'm paying for it daily, see I shouldn't have to suffer twice
I gotta do much better in another life
No matter where you go
Don't ever listen to those lies
I will always be here, be here
Don't let them tell you otherwise (Oh yeah, yeah)
No I ain't always around, it feel
Don't always get to tell you good night
But I will always be here, be here
Don't let them tell you otherwise (Yeah, yeah)
(Ayy, look, look)
Look, I don't spend as much time with you as I like to
Mommy don't like me and she got every single right to
We probably could've worked it out, but we too prideful
It's hard to ever hate yo' mama, when she look just like you
Mostly all just daddy fault, 'cause daddy made mistakes
But, when it came to you, I promise I'm starting from blanks
So here we are, house and picket fence, dreams went down the drain
It's a little more complicated, one day I'll try to explain
'Til then, don't rush to grow up
You already turning two-years old, baby please slow up
You might be ready for the world, but they ain't ready for you
And I'ma kill 'em if he ever pulls a me on you
No matter where you go
Don't ever listen to those lies
I will always be here, be here
Don't let them tell you otherwise (Oh yeah, yeah)
No I ain't always around, it feel
Don't always get to tell you good night
But I will always be here, be here
Don't let them tell you otherwise (Yeah, yeah)
