[Intro]
Oh, my
This generational curse is on me
But not mine, mmm, mmm-mmm
[Verse 1]
Dear Father, dear daddy
My oppa, my poppa, it’s me again, yeah
Another Tristian (No), another Brittany (No)
Another Kayla, I’m so through with women
I’m gettin’ tired of this thing called love
[Pre-Chorus]
Why am I good at making girls cry?
Go from a good to a bad guy
I’m sorry, yeah
One of these days, I’ma get mine
‘Cause karma’s not a girl
That shit can’t lie
I’m sorry (Oh), yeah
[Chorus]
So to my unborn son, I’ma pray for you
Listen to your daddy (Daddy)
So to my unborn son, I’ma pray for you
Listen to your daddy (Daddy)
Be better than me (Better than me)
Be faithful, be graceful, be thankful
And please bе better than me
Bе a real one, my son
Whatever you do, when you do
Be better than me (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
Please, be better than me (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
Listen
I wish my daddy would’ve sat me down
Talked it out, told me ‘bout his demons
He’d been fightin’ all his life (Life)
I love my daddy, but he wasn’t right
To my mom, that’s my queen
And I’m just like him, swear I wanna cry (Cry)
All of these curses in my DNA (DNA)
We must address, they just don’t go away (Go away)
My unborn son, yeah, he can be the change
What am I sayin’? It can start with me (Me)
[Bridge]
I’m doin’ away with the women
I’m doin’ away with the sinnin’ (Oh)
I’m changin’ the way that I think (Oh)
I’m changin’ the way that I drink (Oh)
I’m changin’ the way that I move (Move)
I gotta live right for You (You)
I gotta fight for You (Oh)
I’m goin’ to fight for You
[Pre-Chorus]
But why am I good at making girls cry?
Go from a good to a bad guy
I’m sorry (I’m so sorry, babe), yeah (Oh)
Knowin’ that one of these days
I’ma get mine (I’ma get mine)
‘Cause karma’s not a girl
That shit can’t lie
I’m sorry (I’m so sorry, babe), yeah (Oh, oh, oh)
[Chorus]
So to my unborn son, I’ma pray for you
Listen to your daddy (Daddy)
So to my unborn son, I’ma pray for you
Listen to your daddy (Hallelujah, hallelujah)
Be better than me (Better than me)
Be faithful, be graceful, be thankful
Please be better than me (Yeah)
Be a real one (Be a real one), my son (My son)
Whatever you do, when you do
Be better than me (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
I made some mistakes in my life, yeah, yeah, yeah
Please, be better than me
[Interlude]
But you don’t gotta do what I did (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
You don’t gotta do what I did (Oh)
Please, be better than me
Nah, nah, nah, nah (Yeah)
My son (My son)
I need you to be better than me, yeah (Oh-oh, oh-oh), ayy
Every night, we’ll read the Bible
Me and you and mommy, like a family
Teach you ‘bout respect and manners
Ethics and integrity
When you’re old enough to crush
I’ma keep it real with you
Women aren’t the ones to play
Remember that you came from one
So love on her right, right, my son (Oh)
Don’t play with their hearts, oh, my son (Oh)
When you’re blessed to find that one, son
[Outro]
Be better, be better
Please, be better than me
Be better, please, be better (Our Father who art in Heaven)
Be better, please, be better than me
(Our Father who art in Heaven)
Dear son
