Niyah's Lullaby

Dear Niyah, I know you young so you wanna understand
What it’s like to turn a kid into a man
'Cause lately daddy’s gone and he’s never ever home
And the only time you see him is on TV or the phone
But daddy’s working hard to get you and your momma in New York
I’d rather buy a new swing set than buy a new car
Get you what I never got, even if it hurts a lot
Even if I miss 100 times, at least I took the shot
See, me and your ma, we had our tough times
Daddy wasn’t in line, mommy argued more and daddy wasn’t in his right mind
Then you came along and changed the whole game up
So I changed my muse then 'cause real men do step up
My beautiful women, daddy’s been missing
I know it’s hard and daddy’s wishing they were listening
And all this will pay off
Hopefully a rainbow passed us and when it does
Then you know it’s greener pastures, until then hush
Now hush little baby, don’t say a word
Daddy’s gonna buy you a mocking bird
And if that mockingbird don’t sing
Daddy’s gonna buy you a dream
This your lullaby
This will be your lullaby
This will be your lullaby
This will be your lullaby
You see, I, I just wanna make you proud
Give you something to remember, what’s a throne without the crown
Princess Niyah for now I’m tryna figure out
How to make your visions come true when your B days come around
See, two years ago, daddy was homeless, feeling low, feeling hopeless
Never had no money and mommy had her own life persona
Something nice never been told her, I guess that’s what I did
Chasing shooting stars seem to far, you was getting older
Daddy couldn’t find a job, at least now we could pay
So I died to stay the music way till people knew our name
Things ain’t been the same since, it’s a trip
'Cause fans know your name out in Spain and Madrid
I can’t forget how the feeling felt when you came along
My guardian angel, now every single album I’m on
Read sir Niyah B, sir Niyah B
This is just my way to thank you for saving me
Now hush little baby, don’t say a word
Daddy’s gonna buy you a mocking bird
And if that mockingbird don’t sing
Daddy’s gonna buy you a dream
This your lullaby
This will be your lullaby
This will be your lullaby
This will be your lullaby
And if you can’t sleep, play this song
Won’t be long till daddy comes home
Won’t be long till daddy comes home
Won’t be long till daddy comes home
If you can’t sleep, play this song
Won’t be long till daddy comes home
Won’t be long till daddy comes home
Won’t be long till daddy comes home
