Courtney Antipas - Little Man lyrics

[Interlude] (Baby crying) Hi, boy Hi Hi, boy Hi Its daddy Its daddy [Intro] You may not understand What I'm about to tell you right now One day you will [Verse 1] Listen My little man, my mini me For you a better man is what I'm tryna be I can't explain the type of love your father has for you You brought new purpose into my life Your smile is magical The first day I saw you See I was taken back Tryna measure my palm against your little hand In the hospital bed you lay kicking Made my mind life a better life to give you be my mission Never walk away from you and your moms I'm here to stay I'm ain't tryna be like all them other boys who run away Gotta be an example to you everything I preach Coz you will follow my actions not only what I speak so I'm just letting you know your daddy loves you Reach for the stars ain't no obstacles above you No matter what they say keep chasing your dreams You my champion In my eyes you always win [Chorus] My little man you my mini me For you a better man is what I'm tryna be My little man you my mini me For you a better man is what I'm tryna be My little man you my mini me For you a better man is what I'm tryna be My little man you my mini me For you a better man is what I'm tryna be [Verse 2] I thank God that he changed my path Because if he didn't I don't know if it be you I have My biggest blessing I can't, measure your worth Over my own life it's you who comes first Just know that everything I do is for your good Only tryna raise like a good father should I know I make mistakes Fail from time to time But deep inside my heart I just want to see you shine Tryna shape you into a man of integrity Never follow the crowd but treat women respectively Let you know a real man is not afraid to cry And feel pain for people who ain't the same as ya And lastly I don't want you to see color We are all the same Made in his image we all brothers This world is going I know But you can lead them into the right path So let your light glow [Chorus] My little man you my mini me For you a better man is what I'm tryna be My little man you my mini me For you a better man is what I'm tryna be My little man you my mini me For you a better man is what I'm tryna be My little man you my mini me For you a better man is what I'm tryna be [Interlude] I just figured out I let it ride out Ain't got nothing to rhyme anymore I'mma just talk from my heart Right now is nothing more important to me like my family Having my boy, having a son Being a man, there is lots of responsibility that come with it Now you gotta watch your actions Gotta watch would you say You start thinking At the end of the day you just want to be a better person for your kid You know what I'm saying So, pretty much that's my state of mind right now you know I just to be the best I can be for my son I wanna see him winning in life I know I'm not gonna be perfect I know I'm not perfect I will fail but like everything that I do is to see him win This is to you Zeeke I love you so much No one can take away that love Now I understand what it means to love a child
