lirik lagu kobie dee - father's eyes (acoustic version)
[intro: stan walker]
hmm
[verse 1: kobie dee]
keep thinking it gon’ get better
had to make it through the rain ’cause life don’t stop for the weather
had to change my life around ’cause i forgot my endeavours
if i ain’t do this for my daughter, what the h~ll would i tell her?
huh, i kiss her hair when she asleep
think about the times when i was down and i was weak
when she was just a newborn, i was out here in these streets
i was consuming anything that made me feel like i was free
but i was hurt, and i was empty, i was dead inside (hmm)
couldn’t count how many days i made her mother cry (shayy)
we was young and full of problems we ain’t put aside
dealing with some trauma, we forgot that she was on the ride
i finally understand this was the same for my mum and my dad
i was twenty~one, but they was even younger than that
mum was sixteen and pregnant when she finally had
her first born and my father would finally become a dad
unaware of what it takes, sh~t, he was only a kid
i couldn’t blame him for the things that he eventually did
as i get older, i can see through all the cracks that he slipped
and it’s a shame, but it is what it is, and i’ma keep on singing
[chorus: stan walker]
if you can see it through my eyes
then you can see how hard i try, yeah
feels like around and ’round we go
and it won’t stop till i say so
so come and take a look inside
these father’s eyes
[verse 2: kobie dee]
i’ve seen the world through my father’s eyes
and through the lies, it took a lot of time to realise
everybody got they struggles in this game of life
i did the same things, so really, who am i to criticise?
i changed my life and went a different route
found the strength through my daughter and finally made it out
so many parents never find the strength to make it out
we’re focused on ourselves, but the seeds we planted have gotta sprout
so if you’re fortunate to make a life
then you owe it to that kid to really raise ’em right
’cause they ain’t asked to be born and shouldn’t have to fight
these battles that we fought ourselves through each and every night
it’s up to us to break these cycles now
learnt that all from my mother, she always made us proud
made sure we never went without
a father to my daughter, that’s my mother’s love without a doubt
[chorus: stan walker & kobie dee]
if you can see it through my eyes
then you can see how hard i try, yeah
feels like around and ’round we go
and it won’t stop till i say so
so come and take a look inside
these father’s eyes
[bridge: stan walker]
is it getting better?
or do you feel the same?
will it make it easy on you now?
you got someone to blame
one love, one life
one need tonight
one love, we get to share it
lift your baby if you don’t even care for it
one, one, yeah
[verse 3: kobie dee & stan walker]
so we just want to be great by any means in every part of our lives
i’m tryna get this right so we don’t get this twice (yeah)
a role model to these kids, i say, i fit that nice
that ain’t really how i feel at night (yeah)
up late thinking, “how can i be better for my daughter and son?”
in a panic in my head before this moment’s begun
thinking man, i got to make it while he’s still in his mum
i kiss her head, and feel the air in my lungs, and breathe out, now (yeah)
now take it back, and i see my daughter soaking in and watching all my actions (yeah)
so every step i take, i’m well aware of every fraction
controlling all my emotions so she never see me lacking (hmm)
i done made a few mistakes, but see, i came right back (yeah)
found therapy in music, that’s the reason i rap
all these rappers want a hit to put they name on the map (yeah)
but i’m just pouring my heart out on the track
and that’s the truth now
[chorus: stan walker]
if you can see it through my eyes
then you can see how hard i try
feels like around and ’round we go
and it won’t stop till i say so
so come and take a look inside
these father’s eyes
