about

It is amazing to even be able to have a son, let alone be able to spend as much time as I do with him and to be able to share a love for music with him. My little man dances to all the music I play, including my own, so I am excited to see how he responds to the track I made for him.

For this beat, I actually sampled one of his toys... was a pretty rad day.

lyrics

V.1
Malakai, look me in the eyes and please savor this
your mom and I prayed for this
so glad to have and raise our kids
to know that the greatest gift
is in who the Savior is

this'll only take a minute
listen

mommy took a seat and then she gave me the news
she said that we were pregnant so glad that it was you
we cried and we laughed and we held each others' hands
we only did those things because we were so glad
that she would be your momma and I would be your dad
sad about the fact that it takes nine months
not sure that i could wait that long to meet my son
I chose your name when i was only in the eighth grade
So i guess that you could say
that i'd been waitin for this day
since I was just a boy
knowing that our bond would bring us so much joy
your a dream come true
content to keep dreaming as your mommy's belly grew

V. 2
Breathe baby breath
you don't need the epidural
you told me that when you break
i'd have to be strong

push baby push
i can see the baby's head

with tears in our eyes
you took your very first breath

and now youre almost two
and i just love holdin' you
just to be close to you
watching God molding you

Threw us
he knew us
and grew us
for you love
a new love was born

and now we cultivate the person you were made to be
watch you grow patiently
go for walks and play with leaves
listen to you saying trees
teach you truth from make believe

to tell the truth
i'm loving every minute

i get to work and can't wait for it to finish
i love coming home and going to the beach
bicycle rides with your mommy you and me
but most of all I hope to teach you to be free
