Intro — heartbeat drums, soft piano keys, light wind sounds like distant spirits)
Yeah…
If you’re hearing this, son…
It means my time’s run out.
But my love?
My love never will.
Bayli’s up there now…
And Tank too…
Watching you for me.

Verse 1
I ain’t scared of dying, but I hate leaving you alone,
I spent my life building you a path you can own.
Son — you were my light when my world went black,
My reason to fight, my compass when I lost track.
Bayli watches now, high up in that sky,
Her smile shines down every time you cry.
Tank’s big ol' paws run those fields of gold,
Still guarding you, boy, like when you were small and bold.
When this world broke me, you kept me alive,
You and your sister — my reason to survive.
Now it’s you walking these roads we paved,
But you ain’t alone — heaven’s got your back every day.

Hook 1
If I don’t wake to see your grown man days,
Know I left my blood in the roots we laid.
You carry my name — hold it like a king,
Walk tall, stand firm, let ‘em feel my ring.
When the wind hits your face and the stars shine above,
That’s Bayli and Tank sending you love.
---
Verse 2
This world’ll smile fake just to watch you fall,
But don’t let envy make you small.
Keep your mind sharp like your granddad’s blade,
Brains over fists win longer games.
Read faces — mouths lie, eyes never do,
Energy speaks the truth when words move through.
Son — don’t flex for crowds, flex for peace,
Silent power lasts while loud men cease.
Bayli’s watching proud, Tank guards your trail,
Their spirits right behind you if your steps derail.
And me? I’m in every breath you take,
In your wins, in your tears, in the risks you make.
---
Hook 2
If I’m gone before your children take breath,
Know I prayed for their souls ‘til my last breath.
The streets tried to break me — I flipped that pain,
Turned scars to lessons you now sustain.
If they speak on my name, let the words fall dead,
You are my legacy — my living thread.
---
Verse 3
Never trust fast hands, fast love, fast gold,
Fast fades quick — slow turns old.
Earn your respect, don’t beg, don’t borrow,
What you plant today feeds you tomorrow.
Love a woman who’ll pray for your rise,
Who’ll stand beside you when the storm clouds cry.
Be a father that your kids can lean on,
Break my chains so their path stays strong.
Son — be soft when needed, steel when called,
Wisdom ain’t loud — it listens through it all.
And when you feel weak, just look to the sky,
Bayli and Tank got you — I ain’t far behind.
---
Hook 3 (Final Words)
If this is my last breath slipping away,
Know you were my reason every single day.
Every heartbeat I owned belonged to your fight,
My son, my king, my eternal light.
Bayli’s eyes watch you, Tank runs near,
And your old man’s voice — always right here.
---
outro — final breath, whispering truth
If you feel lost...
