Daddy-Daughter Dance: A Heart's Symphony of Fatherhood
Lyrics
Jack Dawkins. Rap Athlete, Life Surfer
Introduction of the artist as a passionate individual with a busy life.
Workaholic, I'm feverish with fervor
Expressing intense dedication and enthusiasm for work.
My passion was all I could nurture
Highlighting the nurturing of passion as a central focus in life.
But my life turned upside down after your first word
Life changing after the birth of the daughter, turning things upside down.
You came into the picture, now it's a new movie
Describing the daughter's arrival as the beginning of a new phase or story.
Your hugs melt me down, they make my legs woozy
Expressing the emotional impact of the daughter's affection.
Try to be a father like water, I channel Bruce Lee
Aspiring to be a father with qualities akin to the legendary Bruce Lee.
Got a wisdom in your eyes, like you see through me
Acknowledging the wisdom reflected in the daughter's eyes.
She's my life enhanced, helped my love expand
Emphasizing the daughter's positive influence on the artist's life.
When she's older we'll explore the sprawl of all of France
Anticipating future adventures with the daughter, particularly in France.
Trying to be gentle but also strong in stance
Striving to balance gentleness and strength in parenting.
I'm just out here doing that daddy-daughter dance
Expressing the artist's engagement in the special bond of the daddy-daughter dance.
Rather be her Daddy than any CEO
Preferring the role of a father over a corporate executive.
She makes me anxious, robotic like I'm C3PO
Describing the anxiety and robotic feelings caused by the daughter's impact.
Share a language cuz we only speak in secret code
Highlighting the unique, secret communication shared between father and daughter.
Kid's got a smile she can steal the whole damn show
Acknowledging the daughter's captivating smile.
Parenting is hard, I wasn't predisposed
Expressing the challenges of parenting, not naturally inclined for it.
What do I teach her, like, what does she need to know?
Pondering on what values and knowledge to impart to the daughter.
She makes the hardness of my heart start to decompose
Highlighting the daughter's positive impact on softening the artist's heart.
I'm at my best when I let myself just feel the flow
Finding personal fulfillment by going with the flow of life.
Why am I the teacher when I'm still out here learning?
Reflecting on the paradox of teaching while still learning.
I wanna go slow but my inner fire's burning
Expressing the internal conflict between the desire to go slow and the burning inner fire.
Mind is churning, fear is lurking, water's turgid, heart is bursting
Describing the mental and emotional turmoil faced by the artist.
Everything I want isn't made to be her burden
Rejecting the notion of burdening the daughter with the artist's desires.
I try to say less to be more observant
Emphasizing the importance of observation over excessive speech.
I just want her to be happy, be a whole person
Expressing the primary wish for the daughter to be happy and whole.
Your kid is like your heart walking around outside you
Comparing the child to the artist's heart walking outside of the body.
Share your light with the world, love, there's no one like you
Encouraging the daughter to share her unique qualities with the world.
She's my life enhanced, helped my love expand
