Smile for me (feat. just. w., Tyler S. & Yureck Borini)
Would you smile for me now
You know I'll grind out my best
Would you smile for me now
Never have to settle for less
Dear my beautiful babies
I hope that when you read this
Daddy's dreams are true and he's not cryin' into Kleenex
I'm grindin' every day to give you the life I never had
And your momma, she's an angel
She supported me on this path
If we made it, that's great
All my work paid off
And you'll be livin' lavish and won't worry about the cost
I did this 'cause I love you
I hope that you can see that
And when I'm far from home I'm sorry
And I hope you know I mean that
I didn't grow up poor, but for you I wanted more
Grandma and grandpa always did the best they could afford
So make sure you hug them too
'Cause they helped your dad a lot
And they love you very deeply
Care is somethin' they ain't forgot
I'm sorry for rambling on and for my really poor penmanship
These rapid waters of this life have made me shaky steerin' the ship
I'm writin' this at 19, y'all ain't even a thought yet
But even now, I love you and I hope you see my progress
Would you smile for me now
You know I'll grind out my best
Would you smile for me now
Never have to settle for less
Baby smile for me now
You know that I'll make you proud
Baby smile for me now
You know you always stand out in the crowd
I wanna apologize in advance just in case I haven't made it
The industry is cold and it's hard to get your name out
Just know I'm still tryin' and as long as we're sustainin'
That I'll always do the best that I can provide from these payouts
I know the world is cold but at home there is light
You can groan, you can cry
But just know we'll be alright
You are loved, you are cherished
We want you happy and alive
If you're gay, if you're straight, if you're trans or if you're bi
Our love is unconditional, we're here to stay
No matter all the hardships that come our way
I know my letter's probably hard to follow at this point
So I'mma close this out and let you know that I've enjoyed
Every single time that you've popped across my mind
I know that when you're born
I'll be so happy that you're mine
So when you read this
I hope you see good man
Sincerely yours, love dad
Please trust I've got a plan
Would you smile for me now
You know I'll grind out my best
Would you smile for me now
Never have to settle for less
Would you smile for me now
You know that I'll make you proud
Baby smile for me now
You know you always stand out in the crowd
Hey kids, it's dad
I hope you're doing well
I'm sure you know by now I've got one hell of a story to tell
I had no job, not a dollar to my name
But hey, that's life, it's like one big ass game
Like that one song that says you gotta write yourself a rifle
But the college came and went like a seven day free trial
But I always thought of you first, yeah
Even when I put my heart into this verse
Once I join the military, my plan is set in motion
To give you a life of comfort
And not one that's full of commotion
I know I'm only human
I'm flawed, that much is true
But I hope you know my love will only always lead to you
And with that being said, I hope you know I'm trying hard
To give you a life I never had
So you won't have these battle scars
And when I'm dead and gone
I want you to look up at the stars
To see me smiling down on you
I'll help when life gets hard
Would you smile for me now
You know I'll grind out my best
Would you smile for me now
Never have to settle for less
Would you smile for me now
You know that I'll make you proud
Baby smile for me now
You know you always stand out in the crowd
You know I'll grind out my best
Would you smile for me now
Never have to settle for less
