Proud

[Chorus]
And one day you say
I wanna be just like you
And one day you say
I wanna walk just like you
And one day you say
That man look like me
And one day you say
I'd be so proud to be my daddy

[Verse 1]
I remember you be in the womb I had some butterflies bad
I remember thinkin' "man I'm so proud to be a dad"
I wanna see your first smile, nurture every tip
Perfect love cast fears, supporting dreams of every year
Now every day you're gettin' bigger
Hard to think that you was one
And wantin' nothin' else but to lay right in my arms
They used to say, "can't deny that one look like you all the way"
Well in my heart you'll always stay
I thank the lord and bless the day
I know your heart gonna choose a lie
I know the world's gonna wear you down
My child remember what I told you
On your head I place the crown
You a king made in his image
You was his before you mine
And just know I love you
Just know he loves you more than I

[Chorus]
And one day you say
I wanna be just like you
And one day you say
I wanna walk just like you
And one day you say
That man look like me
And one day you say
I'd be so proud to be my daddy

[Verse 2]
Always treat your mother good
Treat your wife even better
Never talk down on your kids
They give us the love hold and cherish
And when you get to high school remember
God, Family, Books
And if you're ever in a jam, perseverance all it took
Now child look, God's gonna give you things the world won't understand
And if they try to knock your footing
Just remember where you stand
Remember, God's always there and he'll never let you down
Remember, never quit and never let 'em hold you down
Now I'm just thinkin' out loud, you make your father so proud
And if the Lord take me home, I know you gonna hold it down
Just keep God first, draw first all the time
And, I know you will, you'll be a better man than I

[Chorus]
And one day you say
I wanna be just like you
And one day you say
I wanna walk just like you
And one day you say
That man look like me
And one day you say
I'd be so proud to be my daddy
And one day you say
I wanna be just like you
And one day you say
I wanna walk just like you
And one day you say
That man look like me
And one day you say
I'd be so proud to be my daddy
