[Verse 1: Beleaf Melanin]
Theo, you're my little boy, my lil chocolate, coconut, almond joy
You're like my sequel
Me plus your mom minus prophylactic equals - mini melanin
What Isaac is to Abraham you'll see the relevance
I'm saying, our life was altered when we found we were pregnant
Was a ram up in the thicket we were blessed by the presence just to be able to sacrifice
'Cos I want you to know Jesus right now 'cos it's sweeter in the after life
There's nothing sweeter than to watch my son lay with my wife
While I go off to work 'cos I know that our God will hold you tight
And I'm the type to hold a grudge tighter than I grip the mic
And as you hold my finger I notice that you and I are alike
I pray the apple of my eye falls from the tree
And rose farther than preceding father was to be
That's why I chose not to name you after me
'Cos you're original - That would be blasphemy
And I don't want you to inherit all my atrophy
And I don't want you to settle for satisfactory
That would be agony
But to hold you to a standard I don't hold myself to is a catastrophe
And God is changing me now as your example
[Hook: Beleaf Melanin]
Theo you got a gift
Theo you gotta give it
Theo you got a gift
Oh you're God given
Theo you got a gift
Theo you gotta give it
Theo you got a gift
[Verse 2: Beleaf Melanin]
Just to let you know you're getting real good genes
You're getting true religion
But God don't have no grandkids this is your relation-ship
You setting sail with the Author of creation don't forget to check your mail
You got 66 letters, a Saviour that we nailed to a cross
And he lead us
Rose from the grave, paid the price, well invested is our Saviour, Lord the Christ
My son
Please don't stray away from your father's advice
How come
I love you so much just 'cos you're looking just like your mom
Even if I never blow up she will still be the bomb-diggity
Uh, you have a friend in me
We are a team, I am the coach, and your mom's the MVP
That makes you next up my young 'un
You're gonna change the world
No pressure, no pressure, no pressure
Pushing hard, overcoming
And I'm 'ma show you love
Interrupt my rhymes just to give papa a hug
[Hook]
