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)

My Daughter, i love u
