A heartfelt soul-rap ballad that chronicles the journey of a single father raising his child against the odds. Blending an emotive, soaring vocal chorus with reflective, rhythmic hip-hop verses, the song captures both the everyday struggles of providing alone and the profound, unconditional love that makes it all worthwhile.
[Verse 1] Six AM, the morning light is creeping through the blinds I pour the juice, I pack the lunch, I leave my sleep behind You rub your eyes and look at me, a mirror of my face We navigate this quiet house, our little empty space I tie your shoes, I comb your hair, I try to get it right Sometimes I wonder if I'm strong enough to fight this fight But then you smile and grab my hand to walk down to the street And suddenly my heavy heart forgets to miss a beat [Chorus] I'm just a single father doing all I can Trying to build a castle from this shifting sand I'll be your mother and your father, be your guiding light I'll hold the world upon my shoulders just to hold you tight Yeah, it's just you and me against the turning tide But I will never leave your side [Verse 2] The years go by, you're growing tall, you're asking questions now About the way the world is built, and why, and when, and how You ask me why it's just us two sitting at the dinner table I swallow hard and tell the truth as best as I am able I say that love comes in all shapes and sometimes it's just two But every ounce of love I have is pouring into you I work the shifts, I pay the bills, I hide the overdue Because the only thing that matters is a better life for you [Chorus] I'm just a single father doing all I can Trying to build a castle from this shifting sand I'll be your mother and your father, be your guiding light I'll hold the world upon my shoulders just to hold you tight Yeah, it's just you and me against the turning tide But I will never leave your side [Bridge] (Oh, I won't let you fall) When the nightmares come, I'm the one who runs down the hall (I'll give you my all) I might not be perfect, but I'll answer every call They say it takes a village, but we built one of our own Right here in this home [Chorus] I'm just a single father doing all I can Trying to build a castle from this shifting sand I'll be your mother and your father, be your guiding light I'll hold the world upon my shoulders just to hold you tight Yeah, it's just you and me against the turning tide But I will never leave your side [Outro] Never leave your side Just a single father You and me, kid Just you and me
