days i sit and think
of things to say to you
will they make a difference
when u need them to?
im pretty sure they will
because i have been there
before with my father
like he was with his dad
my grandfather Will
your great grandfather
full of love and patience
with a family who fell into
a frenzy when our glue
Martha May met our maker

no worries for you my child
beautiful chocolate chip
made from the love of two
your gorgeous mother carried u
i cant wait till i can hold you
teach you and grow with you
like my father did with me
like his father did wit him
your grandfather
full of strength and kindness
humble and down to earth
can show you the world
he's just waiting for your birth
im already proud of you
my bouncing baby boy
years before your arrival
you mean the world to me
a foresight already seen
a legacy waiting to be written
i pray i can give you
a better life than your old dude
better lessons for you to
grow into a better man
than your father thinks u can
than your grandfather knows you will

things wont be easy
trust me my baby
there were times i wanted
just to call it off and
give it all up
but the Pritchett spirit
runs deep in our vains
quitting isnt an option so
i kept it pushing
making moves for the future
work now with a little play
just so that i wont go insane
so that one day i can play
with a young child born
half and half says biology
50 from the love of my life
50 from your handsome daddy
remember things will get tough
but never give up my son
thats not how this game is played
work till the end baby boy
i cant wait till its your day
