Emma Zerella, my bella, my beautiful little girl
Haven't even met you yet, ready to give you the world
Need you to know I'm not perfect, I'm as flawed as they come
but i'll be sure to adore you, support with all of my love
Want to see your smiling face and if it looks like mine
Be safe, know there's no mountain worth being shook to climb
And childhood is precious tho the stresses will grow
Appreciate the things you have and the less you know
Don't be like your old man, always fighting his cause
but i'll teach you resiliency and to right your wrongs
and if your interested can show you how write some songs
Be sweet as corn like ya mom, with enlightened charm
Be Strong minded, and self assured, in the ways of ya dad
a little quick witted narcissism, it's okay to brag
and it's okay to succeed, but be aware of other's needs
be careful and carefree and daring enough to dream
Some people shoot for the stars
Dream upon dream
They long to go far
Chasing their rainbow so high
Wish upon wish
They'll reach for the sky
But I got one little dream
Emma Zerella, imma tell her everyday that I love her
Hope she have the mind of her pops, but the grace of her mother
A complimentary, combination of strength and features
Try to educate her but I know only experience teaches
But use your reason and discretion and embrace the lesson
Be confident in your knowledge but never afraid to question
I'm gonna wanna protect you, from all the harm and evil
But I can't, so we'll prepare you for the warmth of people
See the good not the badness, gladness over sadness
Think for yourself and imagine, and make the world your canvas
Keep a youthful passion, don't let your world turn stagnant
Bring da ruckus baby girl, and flip the world on its axis
Have compassion and mercy, don't hold grudges like me
It's not worth the aggravation, use better judgement than me
But be tough, stand up for yourself, do whatever you need
And take time to take chances so you can take on your dreams
