Fatherhood

Well there was once upon a time
Somewhere hidden in my mind
Where I find my peace and quiet
In times that lay behind
But it's gonna be allright
For a fact, it's better now
Got everything I want
Got a roof and running water
Got a girl I goddamn love her and I'm a bout to be a father
But there's something when you're younger
When the streets turn into jungle
Times where you could change the world around with pure imagination
Interstellar playgrounds, fly my skelter like a spaceship
I still remember that feeling
Just laying in my bed and I'm staring at the ceiling
There it is again, that tingeling feeling
Of becoming something more than just another human being
Live this life with a true meaning
Don't believe all that you're seeing
This life can be deceiving
Hold on strong and keep believing
A creature that's created by nothing but love
I'm going to make it worth it's while
Before I go up above
A responsibility, of an untold story
I'm here to lend a hand, there's some fatherhood for you
I can't even comprehend, life got everything but boring
You turned my life around
This one's for my little homie
Here to show you the ropes
Don't always do what you're told
Try to make your own decisions
Even dad can be wrong
I'm here to help you understand that's life's a path you walk alone
And try to learn from past mistakes, become a king of the road
That along the way, I pray you'll see the sun and find shade
Like Lee you'll be the water flowing subtle like waves
You kids keep following you heart
Don't fall for tricks of the brain
You may be proud of who you are
And stay as true as you can
Cause happiness ain't something
You could find in a safe
It's a combination of sense
Could be the smell of the rain
But it would never feel this good
Without the absence of pain
So charish all the moves you make
For they will be your memories
And it's okey to pray, but don't wait up for better days
Cause before you know it's over, times up, it's too late
And hold no one else responsible
If you wanna make a change
Whenever you feel vulnerable
Use love, avoid hate
I want you to have a life, that sounds good, but feels great
Maybe this is all to soon, but I don't want to be to late
I guess we'll talk about it when you're here and you're awake
Just to hold you in my arms will make the world a better place
Your safe
When I'm a father
Will I set foot on a promised land
With a son or a daughter
Am I only here to lend a hand
And is this it
Or does God still have a bigger plan
I won't wait up, I step up
It's time to be the bigger man
