This is your song
Am7I just wEant you to know that I ain't scared
G7Whatever it takes to raise you, IF#dim'm prepared

This is your song
Verse 1
You'll be cAm7oming out of mommy's stomach soEon
I better do something qGuick if I'ma be able to sF#dimupport you
I can barFely support me, but as long as you're healthy
That's all that mEatters for the time being
But obviously, assuming you wAm7ill be, just thinking ahEead
I’ma make it if it kCmaj7ills me
Let’s see how far I can tDmake it with this music
I'm gEetting sick of chasing this illusion
Sorry for sloppy writing
The pen in my hand’s shaking, please excuse me
Dad's a liAm7ttle nervous, but at the G#dimsame time excited
If I uG7se this same energy while I'm sF#dimaying rhymes and write 'em
With the saFme passion and the same exact enthusiasm
As I’m usEming in this letter maybe they can feel me as I'm
Am7Trying to build these castles out of sG#dimand, baby girl
For yG7ou to sit on the throne, I got pF#dimlans, baby girl
FWelcome to mom and dad's crazy world
Love, daddy
EmMaple flavored kisses, buttered pancakes, and syrup

Verse 2
You got your mAm7omma's personality, G#dimsame eyes as I got
G7Her beautiful smile, but your eF#dimars are the same size as mFine are
Sorry for that, a little mGinor mishap
EBut you'll grow into 'em baby
I'm on the grAm7ind now
I'm doing little shows, open mEmics, all-nighters and studCios
While I'm tryna keep the liDmghts on
Why does it seem like I'm so close to this dream, yet so far?
I just keep sAmteering
I'm gonna turn into someone
I haven't the sligAm7htest clue what I'm gonna G#dimdo if it falls through
You tG7ook your first steps today, you'll prF#dimobably walk soon
My InfiFnite CD flopped, too many soft tunes
They're taEmlking bad about dad, it's ticking me off too
MAm7akes me feel like I don't belong or someEmthing, ooh
I tG7hink I might have just stumbled onto something new
Got a predFiction for the future, I'm hoping it's you
Open this enEmvelope when you're older and it holds true
Chorus

Verse 3
Now if you found these lAm7etters, I guess I better G#dimtry to explain
A lot's haG7ppened in between 'em, since I rF#dimised to this fame
I've said your nFame but always tried to hide your face
This gGame is crazy, EmI wanted to claim my love for you but damn
I never kAm7new it'd be like this
If I Emdid I wouldn't have done it
You ain't asCked for none of this shit
Now youDm're being punished?
Things that sEmhould've been private with me and your mother is public
I can't stomach, they can take this fame back, I don't want it
I'll put Am7out this last album then I'm dG#dimone with it
One-hundred pGercent finished
Fed up with it, I'm haF#dimnging it up, fuck it
FExcuse the cursing, baby, but just know
That I'm a gEmood person, though they portray me as cold
And, if things sAmhould worsen, don't take this leEmtter I wrote as a gGoodbye note
'Cause your dad's at the end of his rope
I'm sliding dFown a slippery slope
EmAnyways sweetie, I better go, I'm getting sleepy
Love dad
Shit, I don't know
