To The Kids That I Might Never Have Lyrics

[Chorus]
To my son
To my daughter
I’d love to hear you call me dad
But if I decide to take a pass
This is to the kids that I might never have

[Verse 1]
To Blake
That’s always been my favorite name for a girl
I think about you a lot
I think I could teach to be smart strong
Teach you how to love
But there’s a voice in my gut
It’s soft but it’s deep
And If I listen quietly
Past my own wants and needs
It’s cautioning me not to bring you into being
That we’re dealing with something larger than you and me
See
I would try to give you the world baby girl
Just like every dad tries
But I’m afraid of what lies ahead
I’m afraid of the planet we’rе leaving behind
Courtesy of mankind for you to inhеrit
See I’m afraid
That you’d life through pain
Repercussions of past generations living greedily
Abusing the planet
Taking water, animal, land for granted
There’s no way around it
We’re headed for changes
And It could be rough stated for a bit
Call me a pessimist
Call me a liberal dick
But I’m scared of bringing a child into this
Feels counterintuitive to give you breath
At a time when so much is dying
When we’re at war with the home that gave us life
God’s gift became a virus
Miraculous species
Left unchecked for too long
We become gods
We raped the heaven we landed on
And that’s not your fault that’s ours
Which makes it seem all the more selfish
To drop the responsibility into your palms
To deal with our problems
Long after we’re gone
It should be us made to suffer through what we’ve caused
Not our sons and daughters
Where does the buck stop?
Which is why I’m hesitant to bring you next to me
Not to say there won’t be love and beauty
But we’re headed for shifts humanity has never seen
So, excuse me
If I want to protect you from what could be
Disastrous and obscene
Look at me
You’re not even a being
And there goes my fatherly instincts
To protect you
I could be paranoid it’s true
Call me young, dumb when none of this comes to fruit
And I’d love to be wrong
I would love to be wrong
I’d love to see you
But these are my thoughts
Maybe they’ll change
In a decade or two
When I’m older, wiser
Have more to offer you
I don’t know
I guess we’ll wait and see

[Chorus]
To my son
To my daughter
I’d love to hear you call me dad
But if I decide to take a pass
This is to the kids that I might never have

[Verse 2]
Jaden, I feel like I owe you an explanation
For my decision making
I have no doubt
In your ability to be a difference maker
But I’ll be cut and dry big guy
The difference maker in our lives right now
Is less lives
Might sound cold
But these words come from my love
For all the world holds
I could say
“Fuck it I don’t care
A couple of kids won’t make a difference
Outta billions
No one else is gon’ make changes
Why should I
It’s my life
I should live the way I want
‘Cuz one day I’ma die
No one cares If I
Have on kid or five
It’s my right
Legacy is so important
My genes and my fortune
Must ensure my name survives”
Breeding for legacy will end us
Breeding for boredom will end us
If we don’t start thinking about
The impact a child has on the planet
We’ll be dust
When nothing exists to check us
Can we step up?
Hive mind has to exit
Small minds have to think big
This is more massive than right wing, left wing politics
Feels impossible to make a difference
But it’s worth a shot isn’t it?
A what point do we have the hard conversation
The biggest threat to us is us procreating
Jaden I’m not saying you wouldn’t be
A wonderful asset to me
But this isn’t about me
You’re still flesh and blood
A human being
Using resources like the rest of us
The world will inevitably feel your impact
Whether you’re the president or a monk
That’s not your fault
But the world is shouldering a lot
And the time it might be off
For me to come to your basketball game
And watch you hit the last shot
And that sucks
I’m not ruling it out son
The world could still be a hell of a lot of fun
But the Earths changing
And right now
It needs a little less of us

[Chorus]
To my son
To my daughter
I’d love to hear you call me dad
But if I decide to take a pass
This is to the kids that I might never have

[Verse 3]
Sometimes I think I should have you
Because I’d raise you better
You’d be kinder, smarter
Woke as fuck
A world trend setter
Little superheroes
Making the world greater than you left it
Beacons of light amidst the
Reckless fuckheads
Who don’t give to shits
Watch this family change the world
Like the Kennedy’s did
A record in history books and monuments
‘Cuz my genetics are the shit bruh
The world needs my seed more than some
Dumb redneck in Nebraska
Darwin says spread your semen
We need it idiocracy is happening
As might judge
Ignorant idiots poppin’ out kids
We need to balance the scale with intelligence
But I don’t think entering a baby making contest
With a family from east Texas is gonna solve this
Superiority complex makes for bad kids
And I’m not accounting for the fact you’d have minds of your own
Dreams that don’t coincide with my goals
A serial killer who doesn’t recycle
Wear cat’s faces as masks
Spend your life playing Warcraft
Nightshifts as a janitor
Grow up to be a Hitler
I can’t force you to be Ghandi
That shits out of my hands
Mostly changing the world shouldn’t be your responsibility
A burden you shouldn’t have to carry
That’s a choice you make
Not me
If I brought you here it’s ‘cuz I want you to live happily
That’s what makes me worry
There’s that pessimism again
Spoutin’ off about the end of humanity
I don’t think it’s the end
But it damn sure is a new beginning
