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 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 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
|
