Lyrics
[instrumental into]
(Verse 1 - Singing)
Yo, check it out, I'm waitin' on my lil' man to come through,
Every night I pray, hopin' he'll be healthy and true,
Got dreams of teachin' him the game, makin' him strong,
Wanna show him right from wrong, keep him where he belong.
(Pre-Chorus - Singing)
His mama lookin' fine, glowin' every day,
Soon we'll hear his cry, and my life gon' change,
Gotta hustle harder now, make sure he got it all,
Gonna be the best dad, standin' tall, never fall.
(Chorus - Singing)
My lil' man, my pride and joy,
Gonna raise him up, my baby boy,
From the hood to the stars, we gon' shine,
Together forever, til the end of time.
(Rap Verse)
Yeah, listen up, I'm 'bout to spit it real,
Gonna give my son the love he can feel,
Teach him 'bout life, teach him 'bout respect,
In this world so cold, gotta protect.
Gonna be his role model, show him how to grind,
Keep his head up high, never leave behind,
Through the struggles and the pain, we gon' rise above,
My lil' man, my heart, my endless love.
Teach him 'bout honor, teach him 'bout grace,
In this crazy world, gotta find his place,
Teach him to be brave, teach him to be kind,
No matter what comes, he gon' shine.
(Bridge - Singing)
Late nights, talkin' to his mama 'bout our plans,
Holdin' her close, feelin' blessed, holdin' her hands,
Countin' down the days 'til he's in my arms,
Gonna keep him safe, away from harm.
(Chorus - Singing)
My lil' man, my pride and joy,
Gonna raise him up, my baby boy,
From the hood to the stars, we gon' shine,
Together forever, til the end of time.
(Rap Verse)
I'll teach him 'bout the streets, keep him wise,
But also show him dreams beyond the lies,
He'll learn to navigate the ups and downs,
Never back down, always holdin' his ground.
Teach him to hustle, teach him to strive,
In this life, he gotta thrive,
With his mother by his side, we gon' guide,
My lil' man, destined to rise.
(Chorus - Finale)
My lil' man, my pride and joy,
Gonna raise him up, my baby boy,
From the hood to the stars, we gon' shine,
Together forever, til the end of time.
(Outro - Singing)
Yeah, this for my son, my future king,
Gonna give him everything, make his spirit sing,
In this life we livin', gotta stay strong,
My lil' man, my legacy, he gon' carry on.
