Shai Afeni - Cordae

All my daydreams have suddenly come true

I made a wish and there you are (Hush, baby, come on)

And now I know just what it means to be in love (Shh, shh, it's okay, baby, it's alright)

And every night, I thank my lucky star (Dada got you)

Uh

Seen my daughter for the first time, I couldn't describe

This feelin' of joy, this feelin' of pride

That feelin' of not knowin' exactly what you feelin' inside

And I see a piece of me when I look in your eyes

Instillin' everything I learned in you 'cause I believe in you

Worldwide shows, it hurts when I'm leavin' you

You got me cryin' on this tour bus

You got me cryin', you got me yearnin' for your love, it's unmatched

And I hope to make you proud to say I'm your dad

But don't forget to wipe your shoes on the floor mat

And my advice when your faith feels slim

Sing a hymn when your day's lookin' grim

I'm blowin' up, sure, I'm right on the brim

And you my light when it's dim (Ayy, you my light, baby)

Me and your mom close as ever, man, we tight like a Skim

A bad day at work, won't bring it back home

You wanna play, I won't say, "Leave me alone"

Take you to London and we goin' for scones

Trips to Greece, this whole world, we gon' roam

Although it's certain things I will not condone

I'm still your father, you know

But I'm so proud from watchin' you grow

I wrote this song when you was two weeks old, ayy

All my daydreams have suddenly come true (I do it all to make you smile)

All my daydreams have suddenly come true (I hope I make you proud)

And now I know just what it means to be in love (For real)

And every night, I thank my lucky star

As I write in this journal just so my words are eternal

I'll leave this time capsule for you so that you can return to

Whenever you got questions about your dad, about his present and past

I'll leave these pages all for you to just have

Learn from mistakes that I made and create your own path

Learn from my life firsthand and all the gems that I grabbed

Number one, God is first, keep your faith strong

And honor your mom and dad so your days long

No pressure, you don't gotta be a baller or make songs

But I beg you, please avoid niggas like Trey Songz

Sorry, Trigga, don't ever fuck with sorry niggas

In business, don't burn bridges

And every loss, you make sure you learn with it (Uh)

There's gon' be a time when things don't always go your way

There's gon' always be some people with some shit to say

There's gon' always be adversity throughout this life

But just remember, everything gon' be alright, yeah

Ooh, and what I feel is ecstasy every time you're next to me

Keep it coming, yeah (Keep it coming)

Uh, yeah

Don't you start, baby

Oh, keep it coming

Oh, oh (Keep it coming)
