Lowkey - Baby Steps lyrics

Your children are not your children
They are sons and daughters of
Life's longing for it'self
They come through you but not from you
And though they are with you
They belong not to you

List the things I love, I couldn't ever begin
From the giggle when you're happy to
The smell of your skin
Every day you surprise me
With intelligent things
Ready for blessings and lessons
Your development brings
I learn more from you than you
Could ever learn from me
First stеp, first word
First time I heard you breathе
It's a feeling beyond comparison
Heartbeat sweeter than any song
That I'm rapping in in this life I want your
Happiness and nothing more
Feels like we were both born again
When we cut the cord
Our trauma from the past is
A factor in your present
But sacrifice our lives for yours
You'd have them in a second
Not feeling this close when you smile
Kiss and squeeze me food for the soul
Your beautiful spirit feeds me
Made us touch our scars again
That process isn't easy
My life instead of yours
I would smile and give it freely

Through your life I'll watch you grow
But there's one thing you must know
You can always lean on me
You can always lean on me my son
One day I'll have to let you go
But you must keep within your soul
You can always lean on me
You can always lean on me my son

As I watched your heart beating on the scan
I knew you'd be born into
Things you wouldn't understand
I hope I can prepare you for
The pain you will withstand
And always remember before a man inta insan
(you're a human) we are not perfect
Sometimes we'll get it wrong
Breaks my heart there's things in life
We just can't protect you from
See the difference between right and wrong
I pray that you can
Just know it's my heart that
You take in your hand
Every day I sit face to
Face with a walking miracle
Not a cord, umbilical
Connection more than physical
Whatever the weather
The sky is sunny when you smile
Wrote this for every parent sitting
Worried for their child
Your eyes are like stars to me
Voice is like heaven singing
Being with you is like the sweetest
Dream I've ever been in my moon and my son
That sentence isn't a metaphor
You're the beginning
Middle and the end we must be better for

Through your life I'll watch you grow
But there's one thing you must know
You can always lean on me
You can always lean on me my son
One day I'll have to let you go
But you must keep within your soul
You can always lean on me
You can always lean on me my son

There might be times when you need a hug
Times when you need an ear
Times when you need some love
Those times you will see me there
There might be times when you need a hug
Times when you need an ear
Times when you need some love
Those times you will see me here
There might be times when you need a hug
Times when you need an ear
Times when you need some love
Those times you will see me there
We never knew love like this
We never knew love like this
Until you blessed us
There might be times when you need a hug
Times when you need an ear
Times when you need some love
Those times you will see me here
We never knew love like this
We never knew love like this
Until you blessed us

Beautiful boy you're my beautiful boy
You're my beautiful boy
You're my beautiful boy
You're a beautiful boy
You're a beautiful boy
