Gangster Hero

[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.
