[Intro] Yeah This one for the man I called Dad This one for the days that changed me For the nights I stood in that booth And for the voices I raise now [Hook] Pressure hittin', I can't lie - world loud, and I'm tryin' not to fall from grace Old habits creepin' in my shadow - I'm fightin' ghosts I'd rather not face Nights I wonder if I'm built for this, if I'm strong enough to hold my place Fear whisperin' in my ear again - but my kids dream peaceful in their space Miami nights still call my name - old paths try to drag me back But then I see Mason's eyes, Hazel's laugh - that's my shield when the world attacks No handbook for this father life - every step's a test I retrace When doubt hits, I think of Dad - how he stood tall, never lost his pace [Verse 1 - Resolution, Tribute to Dad] Miami raised me wild, but Dad showed me grace He was calm in the storm, wisdom on his face He said, "Make your name count, never move in haste" Now I step with purpose, no time to waste I remember the first day - he rolled with me, proud To pick up studio gear, talkin' dreams out loud Said, "If you love this, then go make me proud" That moment echo every time I face a crowd He might've been a stepfather - but he took steps Stepped in when my world had nothin' left Stepped up when others would've fled Taught me the steps, now I teach them with each breath Now I'm steppin' up for Navayia, that's my test Show her how a real man moves with respect Then that day in the booth - my heart stopped cold Heard he passed, phone drop, couldn't hold control I was chasin' bars, but my anchor got stole Felt the dream shift - grief in every soul But I ain't break - I built in his name Flipped pain to purpose, transformed the flame He ain't here in flesh, but he's carved in my lane Every beat I lace got his voice in my brain They say a father's role is just to guide But he was my North Star and my pride Now I guide four, with him by my side Even if it's spirit that rides [Hook] Pressure hittin', I can't lie - world loud, and I'm tryin' not to fall from grace Old habits creepin' in my shadow - I'm fightin' ghosts I'd rather not face Nights I wonder if I'm built for this, if I'm strong enough to hold my place Fear whisperin' in my ear again - but my kids dream peaceful in their space Miami nights still call my name - old paths try to drag me back But then I see Mason's eyes, Hazel's laugh - that's my shield when the world attacks No handbook for this father life - every step's a test I retrace When doubt hits, I think of Dad - how he stood tall, never lost his pace [Verse 2] Some days I still sit in that same room Same mic, same booth, different truth Now I spit with weight in every line 'Cause I know I'm raisin' more than just mine Navayia the oldest, wise beyond her years She seen me hurt, seen me wipe those tears I told her, "Baby, Daddy fightin' fear" But I'll never leave, I'm always here Zach ask me, "How you learn to be a man?" I said, "From a man who walked without a plan Who showed up daily, gave what he can And stayed through the storm when others ran" Hazel got that fire, Mason got that drive They remind me why I grind, why I survive Every verse I write keep his name alive In the booth, in the crib - his legacy thrive He might've been a step, but he led with soul Took every broken piece and made me whole Taught me how to step through the highs and lows Now I'm passin' that strength where my children grow I ain't perfect, I'm still learnin' my way Still got battles I fight every day But I rise like the heat in my city's waves 'Cause my Dad raised a man that don't cave [Outro Hook] Pressure hittin', I can't lie - world loud, and I'm holdin' down this space But now when doubt knocks, I let my love replace I got four reasons, I see 'em in their face And a father in heaven helpin' me keep pace Miami nights still call my name - but I don't drift, I stay intact I built a home from pain, not scraps - and I ain't lookin' back No handbook for this father life - but I still embrace What he gave me, what I give now - legacy, love, and grace
