[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Rushing through maternity

We spent like 12 hours in this room

God damn, shit feels like an eternity

I keep asking are you out yet

I know your mama probably want to murder me

We told the nurse to close the curtains please

I keep peeking, I'm so impatient

I can't help it I just want to be the first to see

The little me or little you or little I

But I was no longer I

When I first heard you cry

Doctors took you away

We thought that you might die

All that I could think is I ain't even get to say goodbye

Looked your mama in the eye

She was so sad

She said go dad, shit was so bad

Facing the biggest fear that we both had

And this is what I scribbled in my notepad

I told you I would would spend all my life

[Chorus]

Baby I would spend all my life

Trying to do right by you

And I never leave you lone at night

I'll be there when you need me to

And even though I know you might

Miss me when I'm gone

I just hope you know

Know that I do it all for you

Yeah

(x4)

I do it all, I do it, I do it all

Do it all for you

[Verse 2]

You were just a couple weeks old

I used to wrap you in a blanket cause your feet cold

I would tell you how proud I was you made it through

Whisper to you cause your mama still asleep though

Every hour you would cry and I would feed you

And I would think about the things I want to teach you

I just want to be the dad that I never had

I wonder if you needed me like I need you

I used to love picking out your outfits

Then show you to your mama like how's this

I ain't have a job and I loved that

Cause every day you who I'm at the house with

And you your daddy's boy, like to laugh lots

And I would rather that you have more than have nots

So I got back on the music so could have lots

And this is what i scribbled in my laptop

I told you I would spend all my life

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

Right around your first birthday

I was going through it in the worst way

Music wasn't moving I was struggling

So every single night I had to work late

Fighting with your mom cause she don't see

That a lost cause what I won't be

And even though I know she got a 9 to 5

I still feel like all the pressure's on me

And you were too young, to really know what it meant

Daddy can't afford rent, cause daddy don't got a cent

So daddy had to leave, just know it hurt me a lot

To know I'd never get back the time I spent

I mean I left my little guy lone

And took away a shoulder you could cry on

And now I wish that I could fly home

So this is what I scribbled in my iPhone

I promised I would spend all my life

[Chorus]

[Outro]

Now I lay me down to sleep

I pray the lord my soul he keep

If I should die before I wake

I pray you always see your daddy's face

You were my heart when I was close to dying

My guiding light, all that I rely in

So when I'm weary I keep moving on

And I owe it all to Marley Ryan
