One Hell of a Dad

The heart of a warrior forged in strife
The price of your honor may cost your life
Masked by resolve are your fears and pain
This is the way

Listen, kid, I'm not one to sing
I don't do the whole lullaby thing
But I guess if you're under my wing
I might as well tell you 'bout the fire I bring
I'm a gun-for-hire, with the surest shot
Props to my home planet Mandalore, I got
A lot of bounties I'm huntin' but I'm unorthodox
Anyone wanna see eye-to-eye? Of course we're not
Because you can call me Mando, oughtta call me daddy
Think I couldn't handle starting up a family?
While pullin' 9 to 5, I don't even need a nanny
Got the entire empire twistin' up their panties
Even the guild wants to kill me too
But I think I'm hangin' on to this lil green dude
Don't touch him 'cuz I'm quick with my gun
I was trained to maintain a consistent income
So if you're a single parent, put your hands up
Got a kid dependin' on you? Better man up
Doesn't matter if he ain't yours, raise him
Train him, burp him, and learn how to change him
Woohoo, lightspeed, hit the hyperdrive
'Cuz I need to restock our diaper supply
I'm a full-time father, don't get in my way
When I'm homeschooling, because this is the way
I'm the best in my class, valedictorian
Did it with a child while proudly supporting him
If you try to swipe him, look out, I'll be soaring in
'Cuz I'm flyer than Marty - I put the Man in DeLorean
I'm a star-hoppin' martial arts master
No one faster on the draw with a blaster
And this kid's gonna follow suit-
'Cuz if you find a foundling, you know what to do

All my daddies, holla where you at?
(Can you hold a family down?)
Tell your nannies, go on and pack your bags
('Cuz we got it handled now)
I never wanted a partner in crime
'Til I set my sights on this little one now I'm
A single daddy
And I'm prepared for that
('Cuz I'm one hell of a dad)
(I'm one hell of a dad)

(Ha, take notes little guy!)

Anybody with debts, better hit the jets hard
'Cuz our targets won't ever get far
Forget the Fetts, we got the best bars
And I don't just mean Beskar
Take in the fresh air, while you can still smell it
Because when you come of age I gotta get you a helmet
And I think we're gonna really need to customize
No offense buddy, but your head's an awkward size
If you're ever feelin' down I got my rocket boost
If you behave well I'll give you a frog to chew
And if you get drowsy, I got some Jawa juice
Because we never stop runnin', got a lot to do
So hum a tune while ya work like a whistlin' bird
And don't you ever use the Force because it is for nerds
Wait?! How did you do that, dude you used it?
To be honest I dunno if I can fully approve it
But you saved my ass from a Mudhorn
And gave us a clantag that I'll adorn
Nonetheless, if I have a say in your career
A space wizard ain't it, 'cuz the Jedi are weird
This is a hell of a dilemma, and by now it's apparent
That I really need a guidebook on how I should parent
At the least, I can keep a roof over his head
So much as look at him wrong, and you're gonna be dead

All my daddies, holla where you at?
(Can you hold a family down?)
Tell your nannies, go on and pack your bags
('Cuz we got it handled now)
I never wanted a partner in crime
'Til I set my sights on this little one now I'm
A single daddy
And I'm prepared for that
('Cuz I'm one hell of a dad)

I don't need no mama's help
I can do it by myself
I don't need no mama's help
I can do it by myself
I don't need no mama's help
I can do it by myself
I don't need no mama's help
I can do it by myself

All my daddies, holla where you at?
(Can you hold a family down?)
Tell your nannies, go on and pack your bags
('Cuz we got it handled now)
I never wanted a partner in crime
'Til I set my sights on this little one now I'm
A single daddy
And I'm prepared for that
('Cuz I'm one hell of a dad)
