My daughter

(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)
