Daddy Daughter Dance Lyrics

Jack Dawkins. Rap Athlete, Life Surfer

Workaholic, I'm feverish with fervor

My passion was all I could nurture

But my life turned upside down after your first word

You came into the picture, now it's a new movie

Your hugs melt me down, they make my legs woozy

Try to be a father like water, I channel Bruce Lee

Got a wisdom in your eyes, like you see through me

She's my life enhanced, helped my love expand

When she's older we'll explore the sprawl of all of France

Trying to be gentle but also strong in stance

I'm just out here doing that daddy-daughter dance

Rather be her Daddy than any CEO

She makes me anxious, robotic like I'm C3PO

Share a language cuz we only speak in secret code

Kid's got a smile she can steal the whole damn show

Parenting is hard, I wasn't predisposed

What do I teach her, like, what does she need to know?

She makes the hardness of my heart start to decompose

I'm at my best when I let myself just feel the flow

Why am I the teacher when I'm still out here learning?

I wanna go slow but my inner fire's burning

Mind is churning, fear is lurking, water's turgid, heart is bursting

Everything I want isn't made to be her burden

I try to say less to be more observant

I just want her to be happy, be a whole person

Your kid is like your heart walking around outside you

Share your light with the world, love, there's no one like you

She's my life enhanced, helped my love expand

When she's older we'll explore the sprawl of all of France

Trying to be gentle but also strong in stance

I'm just out doing that daddy-daughter dance

Rather be her Daddy than any CEO

She makes me anxious, robotic like I'm C3PO

Share a language cuz we only speak in secret code

She's got a smile that can steal the whole damn show

Parenting is hard as shit, I wasn't predisposed

What do I teach her, like, what does she need to know?

Put the world on notice, she's gonna seize her throne

My heart will shatter when I tell her "Sax, you're free to go."
