Lyrics
[Verse 1]
From the streets where the shadows held me tight,
Hustlin’ hard, livin’ rough, every day and night,
Stackin’ paper, dodgin’ trouble, never slowin' my pace,
Had a life full of danger, it was a high-stakes race.
Used to flex with the crew, live life on the edge,
Had a million-dollar dream, but a shaky ledge,
Then came the day, got a call that I can't ignore,
My life was changin', got a little one to adore.
[Chorus]
From the block to the crib, I’m turnin’ the page,
From the streets to the school, it’s a new stage,
Now I’m rockin' that title, yeah, I’m shiftin’ gears,
Father of the Year, no more runnin' from fears.
[Verse 2]
Swapped the street for a stroller, now I'm pushin’ through,
Swapped the bling for bedtime stories, I got a brand-new view,
Used to be on guard, now I’m on bedtime patrol,
Ain’t no more danger, just protectin' my soul.
I traded in my past for a future so bright,
Ditchin' all the drama for a peaceful night,
Got a little one lookin' up with those innocent eyes,
I’m here to teach ‘em love, to reach for the skies.
[Chorus]
From the block to the crib, I’m turnin’ the page,
From the streets to the school, it’s a new stage,
Now I’m rockin' that title, yeah, I’m shiftin’ gears,
Father of the Year, no more runnin' from fears.
[Bridge]
I was lost in the chaos, now I’m found in the light,
From the struggle to the love, every day feels right,
It’s a different kind of hustle, but it’s worth the fight,
Building dreams with my kid, making everything bright.
[Chorus]
From the block to the crib, I’m turnin’ the page,
From the streets to the school, it’s a new stage,
Now I’m rockin' that title, yeah, I’m shiftin’ gears,
Father of the Year, no more runnin' from fears.
[Outro]
So here's to the journey, from the past to the now,
I’m a man reborn, and I’m takin' my bow,
From the gangster days to the father’s embrace,
I’m changin' the game, with a brand-new grace.
