Little Girl

[00:10.97] Momma run away
[00:13.35] No way I could do the same
[00:15.52] Oh no, no child
[00:18.12] Daddy's gotta break the cycle
[00:21.48] And I'ma pay for our summer holiday
[00:26.19] Just to see you smile
[00:28.70] Oh my dear child
[00:31.73] Little girl
[00:32.96] Two years you been in the world
[00:34.96] Don't want you to wonder why I writ this now
[00:36.89] If there's one thing that I learnt in this life of mine
[00:39.02] It's to fight for yours
[00:40.08] Because life is short
[00:41.08] And can become a living hell
[00:42.56] Little girl
[00:43.33] Don't let 'em tell you that your daddy isn't well
[00:45.43] He's threatening to kill himself
[00:46.94] He's the villain and the criminal
[00:48.87] I ain't innocent but I ain't in a cell
[00:50.75] I done some toxic shit, your mother did as well
[00:53.69] And if that's one thing I learnt from her
[00:55.78] Never put another person first
[00:57.73] Only person that you need to protect is yourself
[01:00.96] It's not selfish, the world is (trust)
[01:03.50] Little girl
[01:04.77] Listen up
[01:05.78] This your song in case I ain't around to get in touch
[01:08.82] In case you down, I'll set you up
[01:11.47] You got me, and bless your mum
[01:13.91] 'Cause I got you, I'm begging ya
[01:16.35] Never let anyone, get the better of ya
[01:19.04] Be the best and watch the blessings come
[01:21.06] That's lesson one
[01:22.07] This book has never been closed
[01:23.47] You will never be alone
[01:24.74] 'Cause I'll never leave no
[01:26.07] You were seven weeks old
[01:27.37] Three deep in a bedsit on Etherley Road
[01:30.18] Just know I tried to fix a broken home
[01:31.93] And it broke me so
[01:33.33] Momma run away
[01:35.58] No way I could do the same
[01:38.26] Oh no, no child
[01:40.92] Daddy's gotta break the cycle
[01:43.77] And I'ma pay for our summer holiday
[01:48.82] Just to see you smile
[01:50.76] Oh my dear child
[01:55.20] I'll never leave you lonely
[01:58.27] Never leave you I'll
[02:01.03] Never leave you lonely
[02:05.76] I'll never leave you lonely
[02:08.66] I'll never leave you no
[02:11.11] Never leave you lonely
[02:14.69] I ain't gonna lie, I miss your mum
[02:16.33] The little mug just split us up
[02:17.62] We had a runt and it was fun
[02:18.98] Apart from all the kicking off
[02:20.42] And getting locked out
[02:21.53] As she doesn't give a shit o'clock
[02:23.14] And now I got a little girl
[02:24.43] But got a lot of women problems
[02:25.89] What is it I'm gonna tell her
[02:26.99] When her fella is a wrong 'un?
[02:28.39] Know you like to see from one side
[02:29.96] When something goes rotten
[02:30.86] When you look at it from outside
[02:32.23] It genuinely wasn't
[02:33.34] Putting something dead in a box
[02:34.94] Essentially it's a coffin
[02:36.13] When something's out of date
[02:37.47] Chuck the fruit away
[02:38.68] I was only your age
[02:39.70] My mother moved away
[02:41.24] Before that we saw so many stupid fights
[02:43.40] She had to do what's right
[02:44.57] But I couldn't do the same
[02:46.16] Not to you
[02:47.17] Not when I been through the pain
[02:48.67] My little girl
[02:49.63] My baby of fat
[02:50.70] Daddies little lady and that
[02:52.23] You made me a man
[02:53.00] Who knows baby
[02:53.82] Maybe mum and dad will learn to forgive
[02:55.63] Maybe one day we could chat
[02:57.24] But that ain't any time soon
[02:58.34] So I'm facing the facts
[02:59.81] And just in case I don't make it to see another day
[03:01.86] I'm making this track
[03:02.68] Basically saying no matter what
[03:04.26] I ain't changing even though
[03:05.79] This ain't what I planned
[03:06.57] God made me a dad
[03:07.35] And I'm taking a stand
[03:09.98] I'm raising you any way that I can
[03:11.84] Over phones is something they could do
[03:13.42] 'Cause they got no control
[03:14.52] I tried to fix a broken home
[03:15.88] But it broke me so
[03:16.97] Momma run away
[03:19.14] No way I could do the same
[03:21.66] Oh no, no child
[03:23.95] Daddy's gotta break the cycle
[03:27.04] And I'ma pay for our summer holiday
[03:31.70] Just to see you smile
[03:34.56] Oh my dear child
[03:38.91] I'll never leave you lonely
[03:41.57] Never leave you I'll
[03:44.23] Never leave you lonely
[03:49.28] I'll never leave you lonely
[03:51.61] I'll never leave you no
[03:54.14] Never leave you lonely
[04:01.42] True say it's a miserable world, and I want you to know no matter what happens to me
[04:05.71] I'll always love you
[04:07.76] And no matter what you'll always have your soul
[04:10.76] So you'll never be alone
[04:12.35] And I'll always be a part of you, trust
[04:17.81] I love you
[04:19.97] I'll never leave you lonely
[04:23.02] Never leave you, I'll
[04:25.49] Never leave you lonely (lonley, no way)
[04:30.53] I'll never leave you lonely (never)
[04:33.02] I'll never leave you, no (ever)
[04:35.87] Never leave you lonely (aw gimme a kiss)
[04:39.79] (Gimme a kiss, ay, no, uh) daddy?
[04:43.40] I'll never leave you lonely
[04:46.02] Never leave you, I'll
[04:48.82] Never leave you lonely (she's the cutest)
[04:52.43] Not even tryin' it
[04:54.61] I know you're good with kids
[05:01.29] Get that on a sip (gimme a kiss)
[05:03.17]
