Linkin Park and Jay Lyrics

Let's do this for these babies
Let's make this song for our children, for their future and to inspire them.

Mercedes truck, fuck, houses on acres
We have luxurious cars and big houses, we're living life to the fullest.

Blatantly ballin' on HD
We're showing off our wealth and success in high definition.

Y'all need to step up y'all AV
You need to improve your audio-visual (AV) equipment to match our level of greatness.

Life changed again I was already taking off
My life was already going well and it got even better.

My flight changed again
My plans and goals have shifted once more.

Slight change of winds
There's a small but noticeable shift in the direction of my life's journey.

It's barely 12 noon and my wife changed again
My relationship is constantly fluctuating and my wife's moods are unpredictable.

Baby need Pampers
My child needs diapers.

Daddy need at least three weeks in the Hamptons
I need a vacation to relax and unwind.

Please don't judge me, only hugged the block
Don't criticize me for being involved in my neighborhood, it's all I had.

I thought my daddy didn't love me
I had doubts about my father's love for me.

My baby getting chubby
My child is growing and healthy.

Cue that Stevie Wonder music, aww isn't she lovely
My child is adorable, like the Stevie Wonder song.

Now I'm staring at praying that things don't get ugly
I'm anxious and worried that things will turn out badly.

And I'm stuck in that old cycle like wife leaves hubby
I'm caught in a repeating pattern of my spouse leaving me.

Fuck joint custody
I don't want to have to share custody of my child with my ex.

I need a joint right now
I need marijuana to relax and cope with my problems.

Just the thought alone fucks with me
The mere thought of my problems is overwhelming and affects me greatly.

High on life
I'm feeling great and ecstatic about my life.

I could die from the fall
I'm taking a big risk in my life and it could end badly.

Imagine if I hit the floor
Imagine if my risk-taking leads to me failing or even dying.

Apologies in order
I need to apologize for my actions or mistakes.

To Blue Ivy my daughter
Specifically, I need to apologize to my daughter Blue Ivy.

If it was up to me
If I had full control over the situation.

You would be with me
My daughter would be with me all the time.

Sort of like daddy dearest
Similar to the movie 'Mommie Dearest', but with me as the father figure.

Father never taught me how to be a father, treat a mother
My own father didn't show me how to be a good father or husband.

I don't wanna have to just repeat another leave another
I don't want to follow in my father's footsteps and abandon my family.

Baby with no daddy want no mama drama
Children without fathers don't want any added stress or drama in their lives.

I just wanna take her back to a time when everything was calmer
I want to give my child a peaceful and stable environment.

Out in Paris on a terrace watching the Eiffel Tower
I have dreams of traveling and seeing beautiful sights with my family.

And a Ferris wheel yet and still, nothing could prepare us
Even with all the excitement and adventure, we still may face unexpected challenges.

For the beauty that you be Blue be
My daughter Blue Ivy is beautiful and unique in her own way.

Looking in your eyes is like a mirror, have to face my fears
I see my own fears and insecurities reflected in my daughter's eyes, and it forces me to confront them.

Cheer up, why can't you just be happy
I want my daughter to be happy and carefree.

Without these back and forth thoughts, you too much like your daddy
I worry that my daughter may inherit my negative traits and tendencies.

Badly I just wanna spent more time with him
I desperately want to spend more time with my father.

Sadly life wouldn't let me get around with him
Unfortunately, life didn't allow me to spend more time with my father before he passed away.

Now I got my own daughter, taught her how to take her first steps
Now I have my own child and I'm teaching her important life skills.

Cut the cord watch her take her first breath
I was present for my child's birth and it was a transformative experience for me.

And I'm trying and I'm lying if I said I wasn't scared
I'm doing my best as a parent but I'm still afraid of making mistakes or failing my child.

But in life and death if I ain't here
No matter what happens, I want my child to know that I love her and will always be with her in spirit.
