This is for my little girl,
my pride and joy.
This is dedicated to you,
seeing life through your eyes.
Had to put it down in words,
let the whole world know
how it feels
to see the sunshine.
You are my sunshine,
the reason I work hard and go the extra yard,
never live like Star.
The reason I stand firm is so you can
learn so you would never get burned.
You shine light and when it's darkest night,
making it all seem right.
The reason I stand,
I'm here to lend you a hand,
it's all part of the plan.
It was 5-28-99,
the first day that I finally saw my sunshine,
into the world, my little baby girl.
Now it's time for Razz to be a father,
even though mine's getting bothered.
I can never turn my back on an innocent child,
cause I wanna chase girls and act wild.
You come first,
so when I'm feeling the worst,
you just smile,
making everything worthwhile.
So much like me,
born to a mother that cares,
I was shook up but never ran scared.
I wanted you to know from day one,
that pops would be there,
no reason for you to be scared.
I'm here to protect and watch you grow up to be a lady,
and run off these dudes that act shady.
It might sound crazy,
the beautiful soul that just made me realize I found my pride.
You are my sunshine,
the reason I work hard and go the extra yard,
never live like Star.
You are my sunshine,
the reason I stand firm is so you can
learn so you would never get burned.
You are my sunshine,
you shine light and when it's darkest night,
making it all seem right.
You are my sunshine,
the reason I stand,
I'm here to lend you a hand,
it's all part of the plan.
I hope you know how much your daddy loves you,
I could never put no one above you.
You are my little bright star,
whenever times is cold you bring light.
And so it seems right,
upwriting these rhymes late night,
trying to make the best of all this mess,
that life has to give.
I want you to live with all of the best things your dad never had.
I wanna be there when you were high school rad,
through all the ups and downs,
beautiful and brown.
Your first words I heard,
I'm here just to serve you in all you do,
I speak words true.
I wanna be there for you your whole life through.
You are my sunshine,
the reason I work hard and go the extra yard,
never live like Star.
You are my sunshine,
the reason I stand firm is so you can
learn so you would never get burned.
You shine light and when it's darkest night,
making it all seem right.
You are my sunshine,
the reason I stand,
I'm here to lend you a hand,
it's all part of the plan.
Yeah,
to all the mothers and the fathers,
raising their kids the right way,
keep doing what you're doing.
I'm here for mine,
for real.
Love you.
