Rise - Julia's Song lyrics

[Intro] Yeah, she's like a year and a half now [Hook] As long as I live and I'm holdin' my baby What else more can I use? As long as I love and I culture this lady What else more should I do? As long as I love and I'm holdin' my baby What else more can I use? As long as I live and I culture this lady What else more should I do? [Verse One] And now my boo boo's talkin' And runnin'/walkin' awkward Stompin' like her feet are heavy My little Julies talkin' And she like pressin' bu*tons Open and closin' doors Sometimes she laugh for nothin' And make me want to join And likes her bouncy ball She never gets enough She throws her food on the floor like, "n***a, pick it up." And claps when Dora claps And cats with singin' puppies And if she sees you sneezin' For some reason chuckles And mumbles Chinese, "Mea kouw lan" And when she's quiet It kinda makes me see how I am Her whole foot Isn't half the size of my hand Her little looks Really make my life worth a damn It's hip hop It's nothing of course for me and my Jules My life's grace Like Jesus ridin' in on a mule I got you And what's let to worry about? Your food, clothes, health and house What comes out your mouth Yo [Hook] [Verse Two] She says "bye bye" ten minutes after you leave Long hair The other babies say she got weave She grows fast For mad long she didn't have teeth And I remember in the sonogram she didn't have feet And now she'd rather use my cell phone than Sesame Street One day she'll have her own home and live with some creep I prep for it though I shop for shotguns Daddy's little girl I only got one And I ain't got sons Outside the rap game Says "Go" If you say "Ready, Set" and then she acts strange And then it gets excitin' She's like the Runnin' Rebel It sounds like wrestlers fightin' If you on lower levels In public As sure as she sit Ask her to count She'll say she doesn't do tricks A year and a half Act like she was here in the past For Jules my breath, I'll give you my last [Hook] [Verse Three] Yo, my little bah bah I call her a sheep amongst wolves My own papa Really tried to teach me the rules I learned some And those, what I'm teachin' to you I live life So you're gonna have to do what you do Don't be alarmed I'll always be your beam of support You need an arm There's no force, they're cuttin' mine off Watchin' her walk She balancin' She tryin' not to fall She's havin' problems with steps But aren't we all? To see the world from her eyes Where the tables are tall And to have to learn not to eat the paper no more Please remember being one Do your pappy a favor Reminiscin' on these moments that'll escape from you later She gets quiet Then as loud as can be She acts almost As childish as me And I gotta teach her boundaries And where to go pee And she'll be a strong founder of whatever you see [Hook]
