Aquarius and Gemini combine to create a Cancer/
Birth a world of questions, but you can't create the answers/
Born on July 12th, she's the shining princess/
A future queen in my eyes, re-defining interest/
A reawakening, just helped me to refine the senses/
Saw her head crowning, I replay it every time and instance/
The doctor brought her up and said here's your baby girl/
And in my mind I'm thinking this one's gonna save the world/
And at the time, sh** her mother was my favorite girl/
Staring in her eyes, thinking me and her could face the world/
Just watching you sleep/
Your little hands and feet/
Your precious face just glows, it put us both at peace/
The circle of life complete/ at times, could barely speak/ your mother displayed strength, one that I just couldn't reach/
Thank God you arrived on time and fully healthy/
I held you in my arms, just praying like "Lord Help Me"/
Chorus-(Sung)
Hush little baby, don't you cry..../
One day I'll explain all the reasons why....../
I know things have changed since you were born...../
But forever I'll keep you safe and warm...../
To be honest/
For the first month, I was f**ing up, and wasn't keeping my promise/
Annoyed with your mother and every one of her comments/
I even yelled at you once, I look back so astonished/
sh**, you were only two weeks old/
I can't believe myself, fighting a battle, that needs to be told/
I saw love and innocence through her two week soul/
But never knew in two weeks, that love would decompose/
Cause two weeks later, I'm at odds with your mom/
And that's my fault, some harmless flirting, done turned into a bomb/
I spent time trying to fix it, but in essence it's gone/
But you were made out of love, just know it's presence is strong/
And I wish I could repair, give you this family life/
But it feels like I failed, you understanding me right?/
We set goals for this sh**, man those plans were so tight/
But it fell apart so fast, could barely stand up and fight/
And I apologize/ I never touched another woman, just a lot of lies/
But sh** your momma wouldn't hear it, sh** a lot of pride/
So I explain through these lyrics, couldn't try to hide/
Cause I felt it in my spirit, everytime I cried/
And I just hope you never feel it, in my mind I tried/
And so reflect I do often/then karma came around same time you started walking/
But truthfully your momma put the nail in this coffin/
Chorus-
You can be what you want, bear a goddess aura/
A future superstar, a doctor or successful lawyer/
I love you more than life, I'll give up mine to see you shine/
Can't describe the feeling cause it's something that can't be defined/
We had babysitters for you, that's unbearable/
We both working, they in the house treating you terrible/
And I felt to blame for it, truly my mistake/
So in turn I quit my job just to watch you and be safe/
And I could never turn my back like my father did/
Lead by example, so I show you what a father is/
Supply wisdom, love, everything a father gives/
I wonder how these so-called men abandon all they kids?/
I just wanna watch you grow, and cherish every moment/
Already 1, it's crazy, time flies dont it?/
I can't express how much I love you, for you I exist/
And I thank God everyday for such a precious gift/
Chorus
