[Verse 1] Before the sun comes up, I'm already gone Back before you wake, the night stretches long You don't see the hours, you don't see the weight You just see the man who says no, who makes you wait And that's alright, little one, that's alright [Pre-Chorus] You see the rules I set, the push when you'd rather coast You don't see what I gave up, you don't see it — but it's you I love the most [Chorus] They don't see it yet, and that's okay I'm not doing this for the words you'll say I'm planting seeds in the ground you'll one day stand on Zuri Bee, this love was here before the dawn They don't see it yet — but they will They will [Verse 2] My father walked this road long before me I didn't understand him, I couldn't see 'Til life handed me everything he used to carry And every choice he made started making sense to me So I'll keep going, keep going [Pre-Chorus]
