JK-47 dedicates this song and its title to his son, Zuriel. He shares his journey with his son and explains that while his touring means he’s away more than he’d like, he’s doing it in the best interests of their family.
[Verse: JK-47]
I swear that I can't help
But smile, each time I look into your eyes, I see a better me
And that's somethin' I thought I'd never see
Got me thinkin' back to when I'd look at happy families filled with jealousy
Not knowin' that God's plan for me, bigger than I've ever dreamed
Before I knew your mother, I just made a mess of things
Never thought I'd be the one to give my girl a wedding ring
Then she fell pregnant, that's when she became my everything
Now, everything I do, I do in search of hope and better things
And I'm just here to help you grow and succeed
Let you know you can have anything you hope to achieve
Felt like I was broken, hardly opened up, but now I'm closer to peace
And happiness is way more close than it seemed
Now they bookin' daddy's shows because my flow is unique
And I know you hate to see me go, but I'll be home in a week
As a young'un, I was dumb, only lookin' at the surface
Little did I know the lows I went through served a bigger purpose
Now I'm learnin' from my worst at times, never wanna put you through
What I've been through, and I'ma do my best to keep you from a life
Of strugglin', tryna break this cycle of dysfunction
I don't wanna be my dad, I ain't tryna come home drunk
I never wanna let you down, son, that shit made my heart hurt
And tryna go this narrow road, you know it's hard work
But I'ma stay strong, never takin' days off
Workin' on my craft until I earn enough to quit my day job
Until the day I'm gone, I put my faith in God like "Praise the Lord"
Because he blessed me with a baby boy, so now I gotta stay on course
I ain't goin' back to the way it was
My family depend on me, so I can't even take a loss
Instead, I took the brakes off, and I pushed to the limit
I'ma stay on that real shit till I'm finished, I know they hate 'cause I'm winnin'
But I'm only tryna change how I'm livin'
And be able to say I'm makin' a difference
[Interlude: Zuriel Paulson, Lauren Paulson]
We love you
Have a good day
Have a good day
Good luck tonight
Good luck tonight
You're gonna do really well
You'll do real well
Love you
Love you
Bye-bye, papa
Bye-bye, papa
Bye-bye, baby
Bye-bye, baby
Love you
Love you
Bye
Bye
[Chorus: Hannah Sands]
How I'm supposed to be
Makin' a difference
All I do is dream
Of bein' in your presence
Though you don't want me to leave
I'm makin' decisions
That are bigger than just me
[Outro: Hannah Sands & Emily Wurramara]
So we can be
So we can be
So we can be
So we can be
So we can be
So we can be
So we can be
So we can be
So we can be
So we can be
