Niyah's Lullaby - Pries

Dear Niyah, I know you young so you wanna understand

What it’s like to turn a kid into a man

'Cause lately daddy’s gone and he’s never ever home

And the only time you see him is on TV or the phone

But daddy’s working hard to get you and your momma in New York

I’d rather buy a new swing set than buy a new car

Get you what I never got, even if it hurts a lot

Even if I miss 100 times, at least I took the shot

See, me and your ma, we had our tough times

Daddy wasn’t in line, mommy argued more and daddy wasn’t in his right mind

Then you came along and changed the whole game up

So I changed my muse then 'cause real men do step up

My beautiful women, daddy’s been missing

I know it’s hard and daddy’s wishing they were listening

And all this will pay off

Hopefully a rainbow passed us and when it does

Then you know it’s greener pastures, until then hush

Now hush little baby, don’t say a word

Daddy’s gonna buy you a mocking bird

And if that mockingbird don’t sing

Daddy’s gonna buy you a dream

This your lullaby

This will be your lullaby

This will be your lullaby

This will be your lullaby

You see, I, I just wanna make you proud

Give you something to remember, what’s a throne without the crown

Princess Niyah for now I’m tryna figure out

How to make your visions come true when your B days come around

See, two years ago, daddy was homeless, feeling low, feeling hopeless

Never had no money and mommy had her own life persona

Something nice never been told her, I guess that’s what I did

Chasing shooting stars seem to far, you was getting older

Daddy couldn’t find a job, at least now we could pay

So I died to stay the music way till people knew our name

Things ain’t been the same since, it’s a trip

'Cause fans know your name out in Spain and Madrid

I can’t forget how the feeling felt when you came along

My guardian angel, now every single album I’m on

Read sir Niyah B, sir Niyah B

This is just my way to thank you for saving me

Now hush little baby, don’t say a word

Daddy’s gonna buy you a mocking bird

And if that mockingbird don’t sing

Daddy’s gonna buy you a dream

This your lullaby

This will be your lullaby

This will be your lullaby

This will be your lullaby

And if you can’t sleep, play this song

Won’t be long till daddy comes home

Won’t be long till daddy comes home

Won’t be long till daddy comes home

If you can’t sleep, play this song

Won’t be long till daddy comes home

Won’t be long till daddy comes home

Won’t be long till daddy comes home
