[Intro] (Dark sliding 808s, haunting piano chords rolling in) Yeah... for my daughter Look... listen up [Verse 1] Life can be a movie, but this path can be unfair Wherever you go, whatever you face, I'm right there I ain't claimin' I'm a saint, I make mistakes on the daily Say the wrong thing sometimes, but my love don't fade, baby I ain't the perfect dad, but I'll step up on the frontline Defend you through the dark times, protect you 'til the sun shines [Pre Chorus] If I could give you just one gift in this life It's letting you see yourself through my eyes Your beauty, your kindness, the way that you glow Perhaps then you'd finally know... [Chorus] WHO WILL LOVE AND PROTECT YOU WITH EVERYTHING I HAVE I WILL ALWAYS BE YOUR BIGGEST FAN, THAT'S A FACT I WILL ALWAYS BE THERE, STANDIN' IN YOUR CORNER GUARDIN' YOUR HEART, MY LITTLE DAUGHTER [Verse 2] I won't always have the fix when your heart's breakin' down Won't always have the words when you're feelin' 'downbound' But nothing and nobody, not even time itself Could ever take my place or put us on the shelf Always have been, always will be in your zone You're never walkin' this road alone [Bridge] You make me happy in so many ways I'm proud of your steps through the nights and the days Being your dad is the core of who I am Never forget how much I love you, understand? [Chorus] WHO WILL LOVE AND PROTECT YOU WITH EVERYTHING I HAVE I WILL ALWAYS BE YOUR BIGGEST FAN, THAT'S A FACT I WILL ALWAYS BE THERE, STANDIN' IN YOUR CORNER GUARDIN' YOUR HEART, MY LITTLE DAUGHTER [Outro] (Sliding 808s fading out, ambient piano) Never forget... Always have been. Always will be. (Beat cuts)
