Dear Oliver
Dear Oliver, it's your dad speaking
I'm out in Cape Town makin' magic in this hat, reachin'
For a rabbit or maybe a parakeet
You gave me drive like I tossed you a pair of keys
I thought before I'd you I would've asked your mama to marry me
But here I am with this ringless finger and no dirt on my knee
A month away 'til you breathe the air that I breathe
It's 5AM in this booth and I will not leave until I
Yeah, 'til I finish this letter and rap it to Ebenez
Let him record it and ensure it sounded heavenly
I've been working on things so you could meet the better me
I put my hand on your mother's tummy and fall asleep
I just hopin' you kick your way into your father's dreams
I got the rompers waiting for you
You just wait and see
Split it how you want with your momma
Ya'll get all of me
Yeah, I've never been so fuckin nervous in my whole life
I flew back home to tell my dad I made a whole life
Got some advice and took some time to get my dome right
I paid your granny the traditional way
Zulu man, so it only became official that day
Yabo? Bo
When I get to hold you
I'll come back to this mike and tell you some more
Cool
Well done, Sammie
(Ayy) June 25, you arrived
I have to be the happiest man alive
Thankful to the big guy in the sky, you survived
All praises to the most High
When I heard your first cry the first time, you heard mine
I couldn't even hold it in, it just escaped me
Looked at bae like, "We just made a baby, this is crazy"
Used to wanna die young, now I wanna touch eighty
And these pampers ain't cheap, so if you owe me better pay me, yeah
I'm such a lucky guy, I can't lie
I bought your crib for nothing, you sleep in my arms fine
I thought before I'd have you I'd live to see cars fly
But here I am in this traffic hoping I make it on time
Calculating ETA with the midwife on the line
And this IvySon shit my religion
Still saved by the Son but there's one I call mine
My boy, yeah
And it's been about a month since you touched down
This was meant to be, I feel it in my gut now
Son, you've given me a whole new reason to conquer
If anybody touch you, I swear I'll show them a monster
Rip them apart and turn them red, do a mud like lobster
Your mother named you after Yoshi
The purest soul I've ever met, an angel in the form of a rock star
May he rest in eternal peace
I'm not privy to God's plans but I know that he's earned a seat
And I'm confident certainly, yeah
