lyrics

Struggling daily every day I'm struggling
Before I got married I was barely juggling
I'd rather be hustling sellin to customers and
Making what I make getting what I get then
I met your mom and my perspective flipped
This woman is perfect she can raise my kid
But it took pursuit of more than happiness
God says its holiness so I'm a happy mess
So happy for the challenge and the rewards too
Cuz I knew one day God would bless me with you
And I don't even know you yet. But I can bet
You will be as sassy as your mom and dad
Hopefully as beautiful as a person as well
This is the story I tell. I pray I won't fail.
One day I will play it when you can hear
You will see clear grinning ear to ear!

That I was made to. Raise you.
More than just praise you
I won't forsake you I'm thankful
You were made from me too
So I live my life for you
I will die for you!

We talk about you a lot as we make a plan
To be great parents a loving mom and dad
We'll be so glad when we finally meet you
can't wait to greet you teach you & preach fruit
Will we be prepared enough when the time comes
Will you be our daughter will you be our son
Lord knows. So for now we just pray
To do our best to make ends meet each day
No need to worry you will be blessed
You'll be the answer. The reward from the test
I'm looking forward to holding you to my chest
Theres a safe place for your head to rest
I will do my best. Your mom knows I'll try
Hopefully I'lll smile, even when I cry
I wont be sad. I'll be filled with joy
One day-down the road. We'll all enjoy

That I was made to. Raise you.
More than just praise you
I won't forsake you I'm thankful
You were made from me too
So I live my life for you
I will die for you!
