[Verse 1: Kobie Dee]
Keep thinking shit gon' get better
Had to make it through the rain 'cause life don't stop for the weather
Had to change my life around 'cause I forgot my endeavours
If I ain't do this for my daughter, what the fuck would I tell her?
Huh, I kiss her hair when she asleep
Think about the times when I was down and I was weak
When she was just a newborn, I was out here in these streets
I was consuming anything that made me feel like I was free
But I was hurt and I was empty, I was dead inside
Couldn't count how many days I made her mother cry
We was young and full of problems we ain't put aside
Dealing with some trauma, we forgot that she was on the ride
I finally understand this was the same for my mum and my dad
I was twenty-one, but they was even younger than that
Mum was sixteen and pregnant when she finally had
Her first born and my father would finally become a dad
Unaware of what it takes, shit, he was only a kid
I couldn't blame him for the things that he eventually did
As I get older, I can see through all the cracks that he slipped
And it's a shame but it is what it is and I'ma keep on singing
[Chorus: Stan Walker]
If you can see it through my eyes (If you can see it through my eyes)
Then you can see how hard I try, yeah (Then you can see how hard I try)
Feels like around and 'round we go
And we won't stop 'til I say so
So come and take a look inside
These father's eyes
Keep thinking shit gon' get better
Had to make it through the rain 'cause life don't stop for the weather
Had to change my life around 'cause I forgot my endeavours
If I ain't do this for my daughter, what the fuck would I tell her?
Huh, I kiss her hair when she asleep
Think about the times when I was down and I was weak
When she was just a newborn, I was out here in these streets
I was consuming anything that made me feel like I was free
But I was hurt and I was empty, I was dead inside
Couldn't count how many days I made her mother cry
We was young and full of problems we ain't put aside
Dealing with some trauma, we forgot that she was on the ride
I finally understand this was the same for my mum and my dad
I was twenty-one, but they was even younger than that
Mum was sixteen and pregnant when she finally had
Her first born and my father would finally become a dad
Unaware of what it takes, shit, he was only a kid

So come and take a look inside
