A Letter To You

[Intro]
I always knew that there would be times like this
Nights like this
Make me rhyme like this
Your personal photog
The past sixteen months just taking your pics
My favorite moment is the next one, so I can't pick

[Verse 1]
I always knew that there would be times like this
See nights like this make me write like this
Grateful to Allah in Heaven a blessing the size of Texas
We're so proud to be your parents
Mom and Daddy's favorite present
I find myself trying to write down everything I know
So I can provide a road map for everywhere you'll go
Dad kept his foot on the gas I regret not taking it slow
The speed of life's a beam of light if you don't learn to take control
Don't try to hit fast forward just to skip to the chorus
You'll dash past those in life best versed to pen your foreword
Feel the need then please just ease your foot off the pedal
Always tell Mommy the truth I promise I'll never meddle
Daddy knows now he lived his entire life just to meet you
Look in your eyes and see me there's just so much I want to teach you
As simple as ABCs or 123s
This Daddy's Hallmark card yeah my American Greeting
I'm writing this while you sleep it's just my thoughts this evening
Inspire me to grab the stars so I'm still reaching
Hustling hand over fist ma while I'm still breathing
If explanations are needed I hope this gives you the reason
