[Verse 1] I used to think bein’ there was enough Just show up, work hard, that’s love But I see it different when I sit with my thoughts They don’t just hear me… they watch how I walk Every reaction, every word I say Teaches ‘em how to handle pain If I run from mine, what they gon’ do? I’m either breakin’ cycles… or passin’ ‘em through I ain’t grow up with all the tools in place Had to learn how to feel, not just be okay So if I change now, it ain’t just for me It’s for the eyes that are watchin’ me be [Pre-Chorus] I can’t fake this, they see through it all Every rise, every time that I fall [Chorus] They’re watching me… even when I don’t see Every choice I make becomes what they’ll be I ain’t tryna be perfect, just tryna be real Show ‘em how to grow, show ‘em how to heal They don’t need a hero, they don’t need a king They just need a man who can feel everything If I do the work, I set ‘em free They’re not just my kids… they’re watchin’ me [Verse 2] I used to react, now I take a breath Tryna choose growth instead of stress They gon’ learn love from how I give it And how I stand when life gets different I ain’t gotta hide when I feel weak I can show ‘em strength ain’t always peak Sometimes it’s sittin’ in the pain And still showin’ up the next day again [Bridge] Yeah… this bigger than me This legacy Not what I leave… but what they see [Outro] So I face myself when it gets hard Even when it leaves me scarred ‘Cause one day they gon’ understand I became better… so they can
