[Mr. Lif] Baby boy, girl Daddy loves you with a world of strength But my thoughts of holdin you in my arms remain at arms length See I was raised with romanticism, around a tradition Which states a man should have some children with his wisdom And your suspected mommy to be More beautiful than any woman I could wish to see standin next to me Intelligent, wise, beautiful eyes helps my intellect rise Through lows and highs, makes me love bein alive Ive been dreamin bout your life since early teenage years Durin a haze of beer and blunts I envisioned you once Immaculate black skin, me providin what youre lackin Us coolin out, watchin flicks, laughin Then your image disappeared, in a cloud of my fear Youre not here, but Ive got some things I want you to hear Im scared I cant provide or survive on my own Let alone build you a solid home where loves shown Please allow me private moments as I gather this poem May this pen commit to paper my emotions and zones Im on the highway in Montana and its 742 And daddy wrote a rhyme just for you [Hook One Mr. Lif] If theres one thing in this life that I do hope to achieve Its to give you all my love and make you strong before I leave Just for you you just for you you Just for you... [Mr. Lif] What can I say next? In 81 I wore a pair of gray specs In 86 I started pumpin rap up in my tape deck A younger music, then MCs would recommend Knowledge of self, to help uplift and wed ascend So I send similar, messages to my listeners Beyond perimeters, they advance to the rhythm of A kick, snare, and hi hat the masses wont buy that Its drug sales and gun claps, so less loots what I stack I know the flow of cash aint all that it would take For you and I to form a bond so strong itd never break But I couldnt stand havin nothin in my hand in the time of your need Its understood so shall I proceed? Indeed theres many other factors that do come into play That make me hesitate to bring you to this world of today See theres a sense of desperation from miseducation Which leaves our highest aimin far below required expectations To play a plain hand is, the usage of language Powers locked in codes so most misunderstand it Major corporations plan to dwarf the layman Our presidents a profit margin greed is growin strong and Its just a mental death condition spawned by logo recognition Dollar signs squalor minds, the prisons beyond our visions I identify a piece and write it down on a page Pray to God and hope for strength to practice healthier ways Please pardon if I ramble through the course of this poem May this pen commit to paper my emotions and zones Im on the highway out in Cali, its 1142 And daddy wrote a rhyme just for you [Hook One] [Hook Two Mr. Lif] But youre not here because I fear whats in the future I perceive Got me shakin so I made a little song Im gonna leave Just for you you just for you you Just for you... [Mr. Lif] I had to take a long hiatus from writin this song Thought of you while I was gone Though my feelings vary, yes Ill carry on Larry, Sean, Diana, Dawn shit Ill leave it up to Mom No idle title vital, strong strength to help you move along Healthy selfesteem without a selfish dream Who got you thinkin wealth is green, I see you starin at that screen Well its a black hole, its used to extract soul Thought it was neat, kept the receipt and Im bout to take it back though My mind roams through burnin homes, worldwide war zones Cremation of the last generation before clones If you should run into yourself on the street Lie then press delete, dye your hair and change your physique Unique survival pack words, when life walks backwards A rocky road that doesnt lack curves meant to rack nerves True, humankind has made life a disgrace But theres one thing that may keep you alive in this place Love may be found if your feet are on the ground Follow your heart but stop and start to take a look around Swear thats all that keeps me goin, love of flowin Love of family plus GOD, all seein and all knowin Pardon if Im psycho when Im writin alone May this pen commit to paper my emotions and zones Im in Mexico, chillin with an oceanfront view And daddy wrote a song just for you [Hook One] [Hook Two] [Michelle Shaprow repeat 2X] Baby boy, your life should fulfill your dreams Just follow your heart and youll get what you want every moment Always gon be there, there for you, you, you Baby girl, your life should fulfill your dreams Just do what you love and youll love what you do every moment
