Little Girl

[Chorus]
Momma run away
No way I could do the same
Oh no no child
Daddy's gotta break the cycle
And I'mma pay for our summer holiday
Just to see you smile
Oh my dear child

[Verse 1]
Little girl
Two years you been in the world
Don't want you to wonder why I writ this now
If there's one thing that I learnt in this life of mine
It's to fight for yours
Because life is short
And can become a living hell
Little girl
Don't let 'em tell you that your daddy isn't well
He's threatening to kill himself
He's the villain and the criminal
I ain't innocent but I ain't in a cell
I done some toxic shit, your mother did as well
And if that's one thing I learnt from her
Never put another person first
Only person that you need to protect, is yourself
It's not selfish, the world is
Little girl
Listen up
This your song in case I ain't around to get in touch
In case you down, I'll set you up
You got me, and bless your mum
'Cus I got you, I'm begging ya
Never let anyone, get the better of ya
Be the best and watch the blessings come
That's lesson one
This book has never been closed
You will never be alone
'Cus I'll never leave no
You were seven weeks old
Three deep in a bedsit on Etherley Road
Just know I tried to fix a broken home
And it broke me so

[Chorus]
Momma run away
No way I could do the same
Oh no no child
Daddy's gotta break the cycle
And I'mma pay for our summer holiday
Just to see you smile
Oh my dear child

I'll never leave you lonely
Never leave you I'll
Never leave you lonely
I'll never leave you lonely
I'll never leave you no
Never leave you lonely

[Verse 2]
I ain't gonna lie, I miss your mum
The little mug just split us up
We had a run and it was fun
Apart from all the kicking off
And getting locked out
As she doesn't give a shit o'clock
And now I got a little girl
But got a lot of women problems
What is it I'm gonna tell her
When her fella is a wrong 'un
Know you like to see from one side
When something goes rotten
When you look at it from outside
It genuinely wasn't
Putting something dead in a box
Essentially it's a coffin
When something's out of date
Chuck the fruit away
I was only your age
My mother moved away
Before that we saw so many stupid fights
She had to do what's right
But I couldn't do the same
Not to you
Not when I been through the pain
My little girl
My baby in fact
Daddies little lady and that
You made me a man
Who knows baby
Maybe mum and dad will learn to forgive
Maybe one day we could chat
But that ain't any time soon
So I'm facing the facts
And just in case I don't make it to see another day
I'm making this track
Basically saying no matter what
I ain't changing even though
This ain't what I planned
God made me a dad
And I'm taking a stand
I'm raising you any way that I can
Over phones there's nothing they could do
'Cus they got no control
I tried to fix a broken home
But it broke me so

[Chorus]
Momma run away
No way I could do the same
Oh no no child
Daddy's gotta break the cycle
And I'mma pay for our summer holiday
Just to see you smile
Oh my dear child

I'll never leave you lonely
Never leave you I'll
Never leave you lonely
I'll never leave you lonely
I'll never leave you no
Never leave you lonely

[Talking]
True say it's a miserable world, and I want you to know no matter
What happens to me, I always love you and no matter what you'll
Always have yourself, so you'll never be alone, and I will
Always be a part of you, trust, I love you
