[Verse 1] You up before the sun Packing little bags Tying little shoes Calling out each name Like a prayer you already knew Siaha laughing in the kitchen Jr on your shoulders Reaching high London Logan Jayden watching Like you hung the whole blue sky [Chorus] They so blessed to have you Baby The way you love on them It shows Every hug Every “you okay?” You planting roots so deep they’ll grow You carry all that weight so gentle Still you’re joking Still you smile I thank God for the way you love them I could watch you all my life [Verse 2] You don’t brag about your battles You just clock in Clock out Then come home Quiet strength in the doorway Kissing foreheads Never on your phone Dreams tucked in your back pocket But you share ‘em when the house is still Ambition in your soft whispers “I’ll give them more than what I feel” [Chorus] They so blessed to have you Baby The way you love on them It shows Every hug Every “you okay?” You planting roots so deep they’ll grow You carry all that weight so gentle Still you’re joking Still you smile I thank God for the way you love them I could watch you all my life [Bridge] Thirty-five on the horizon (oh) I can’t wait to see you then Lines from laughing with our babies Stories sitting in your skin I swear I’ve known you forever Like we danced this dance before Our people whispered your name to me From a thousand years or more [Verse 3] When you’re tired in the silence I still see a king at rest Head bowed Hands folded Talking to the ones who left I feel your grandma in your patience Your granddad in how you stand We connected through the ancestors They been guiding both our hands [Chorus] They so blessed to have you Baby The way you love on them It shows Every hug Every “you okay?” You planting roots so deep they’ll grow You carry all that weight so gentle Still you’re joking Still you smile I thank God for the way you love them I could watch you all my life [Outro] Johntay My love My anchor (yeah) Father Lover Trusted friend I’ll be right here watching proudly As you grow and grow again When you turn that corner Thirty-five I’ll say “Look what you’ve become” But in my eyes Through all these lifetimes You been that man since day one
