about

I wrote this song when my wife was 5 months pregnant, and now my daughter is about to be 6 months old. It explores my concerns and feers about raising a child in this crazy world, and being damaged myself. This song articulates my willingness to do absolutely anything to keep my baby girl safe and happy. It also explores my fears about passing on my traumas. This one is very important to me.

lyrics

Hook:
I'd do anything that I need to. Take a life if I need to. Lose my life if I need to. Yea, I'd do life just to keep you. Aight, Aight? OK.  Just to keep you aight, OK. Nothin' bad gonna come your way as long as I can help it, aight? OK 

Verse 1:
Aimless just running through life, feeling out of place except when I'm in front of the mic, amidst the craziness at least I met the love of my life, and she puts up with me even when I'm wanting to fight.  Past trauma ain't gonna last longer, trying to shield myself with bad armor, wish I could make it better, but I couldn't understand mama, still don't, but now I'm toxic too I gotta have drama, making things harder with this bad karma, curses generational, yea they stopping right here cuz I'm breakin through, gotta hold what you love near, ain't no telling when they takin you, but nobody's ever taking you, it's your life, you decide where to take it to, I put my faith in you, I'm just here to keep it safe and true, my masterpiece, hands down, was makin you. 

Verse 2:
The reason I was scared to have you is cuz when I was little it was chaos and bad you, never gonna carry what I had to, never be a bag lady like Badu.  Nothing's guaranteed, but I swear I breathe for ya, and I'll never leave. No matter what the weather be, you make me wanna be a better me, Imma let go of the past and be forever free, new destiny, cuz it's you who's blessing me, no more insignificant things stressing me, and if you cross me and mine, you gon know what the lesson be, ain't no messing with my legacy. Cuz it's no longer shootin the breeze, yeah, it's me and mine planting some seeds, growing some trees, making my roots, spreading my wings, living my truth, bring the drama you'll be meeting my boots.
