- Substantial Dedicated and Driven 歌詞
- Substantial
- For the brotherhood of fatherhood
R.I.P. to Eric Powell. Rest well. Yeah
One time for the Babas on the front line. (Yeah)
Two times for the fathers on the weekends. (Yeah, yeah)
Three times for the ones that get the least shine. (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
The single fathers. Yall dont hear me, bring the beat in
Dedicated and driven, I'm not just making a livin'
They say life is what you make it so check it, we made some children
They giving me life and purpose. I'm giving them love and options (Yeah, yeah)
Live as free as can be and when needed please move with caution (Yeah, yeah)
Here to destroy all doubts if I'll always be there when needed
I was there for y'all first breath and I'm here when my last is leaving
Your daddy's always devoted to moving our family forward
Willing to play the back, y'all could lead us at any moment
Word to my girls, it's yall world, how will you shape it
When they square up, best step up, make it or break it
This for y'all and all the daddies that didn't have one at home
Swore they'd be better at it once blessed with kids of their own
Plus you DWB. That mean “Daddyin' while black”
A struggle to raise'em free when a target is on your back
It's hard to raise'em as peaceful when systems over police you
People speak to your children but treat you like that don't see you
Hold Up!
One time for the Babas on the front line. (Yeah)
Two times for the fathers on the weekends. (Yeah, yeah)
Three times for the ones that get the least shine. (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
The single fathers. Yall dont hear me, bring the beat in
Hard to keep peace of mind when there's evil trying to disturb it
Die protecting your babies and treated like you deserve it
Black fathers under attack, plus underappreciated
Underserved, underrepresented and we're underrated
Under a rock and a hard place holdin' it up with God grace
Shinin' 'cause there's a bright mind beyond that dark face
All the ties and world's greatest dad mugs we're given
Big piece of chicken or vegan burger with all the fixins'
Still dedicated and driven no matter how they reward us
Aint about what they give us we're servin' our sons and daughters
Those that dont handle business them bammas aint about nothing
I dont speak on no dead beats unless its killer production (Yeah)
Dedicated and driven your daddy is a provider
Got your back til the ending 'cause your daddy's a rider
Dedicated and driven by love and responsibility
This is for all the babas, that serve with honor and dignity
Yeah!
One time for the Babas on the front line. (Yeah)
Two times for the fathers on the weekends. (Yeah, yeah)
Three times for the ones that get the least shine. (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
The single fathers. Yall dont hear me, bring the beat in
One time for the Babas on the front line. (Yeah)
Two times for the fathers on the weekends. (Yeah, yeah)
Three times for the ones that get the least shine. (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
The single fathers. Yall dont hear me, bring the beat in
Dedicated and driven, made lemonade out of lemon
Made miracles with pennies cuz most us aint seen a million
Salute to all our women we celebrating you too
Wouldnt be the father I am if it werent for you
