Prompt / Lyrics
(Beat drops - heavy, distorted 808s, a melancholic piano melody weaving through) (Verse 1) Yo, lemme tell you somethin', ain't no metaphors or lies Just the truth spillin' out, starin' me dead in the eyes See, the world's a cesspool, overflowing with the sick And I'm just tryna keep my little girl away from the grit Tried to shield her from the chaos, the headlines and the hate But innocence is fragile, easy to suffocate Remember changin' diapers, singin' lullabies low Now she's lookin' at the TV, askin' questions I don't know How to answer without scarin' her, breakin' her belief In the good ol' Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, some relief From the monsters under the bed, the bullies at the school Damn, I feel like I'm failin', playin' the damn fool. (Chorus) 'Cause she's my everything, the reason I still breathe The only constant sunshine, even when I grieve This ain't a love song, this is raw, unfiltered fear Tryna raise a diamond in a world that's crystal clear Just wants to crush it, grind it down to dust and dirt Gotta be her shield, her sword, even if it hurts. (Verse 2) Used to rap about the demons, the women, and the drugs Now I'm scrubbin' bathroom floors, prayin' for the bugs To stay away from her, protect her tiny little feet From the roaches and the grime, the stink of this damn street I ain't Mr. Perfect, made mistakes, a million times But I swear to God, I'm fightin' for her, these are different crimes I'm comin' up against, the societal decay The pressure on her shoulders, weighs heavier each day. She wants to be a princess, a superhero bold But the algorithms whisperin' stories, already bought and sold Tellin' her she ain't enough, gotta change her every flaw This ain't the future I envisioned, standin' in the law Of nature, the right to protect, the instinct to survive I'll tear down every wall, keep her spirit alive. (Chorus) 'Cause she's my everything, the reason I still breathe The only constant sunshine, even when I grieve This ain't a love song, this is raw, unfiltered fear Tryna raise a diamond in a world that's crystal clear Just wants to crush it, grind it down to dust and dirt Gotta be her shield, her sword, even if it hurts. (Bridge) Yeah, people judge, they point and stare, they analyze my past Say I'm unfit, unstable, a shadow that won't last But they don't see the late nights, the homework by my side The sacrifices I make, swallowin' down my pride Just to give her a chance, a future she deserves To break the cycle of pain, mend the broken nerves. (Verse 3) So listen up, you haters, you critics and you trolls Stay the hell away from her, before I lose control I'm a goddamn hurricane, a force you can't deny I'll unleash a lyrical storm that'll leave you petrified This ain't a threat, it's a promise, etched in stone and blood I'll protect her with my life, misunderstood, But always loyal, always there, a father to the end My daughter, my inspiration, my confidant, my friend. (Outro) My Daughter, i love u
