Getting Things Together

from RetroSpek by Lefspek

/

about

A song I wrote to my first born son before he was born.

lyrics

This aint a story of surprise

We realized what we were doing

Me and your mom made a bond

So we could put you in-

Side a life that's wide and bright

With two people as guiding lights

Where Daddy is a husband and your mommy is a bride and wife

This here's a storey that's all about you

And to God I give the glory for what we're about to do

But it's testing me

I'm questioning

My life like its on trial

The pressure gets to pestering

And wrestling my smile

I dropped out of college to find my own wealth

I spent my 20s making money

But I spent it on myself

Wasn't thinking of you

Or the future I'd been making

I never thought I would care about how much money I could rake in

It's easy in the years when your peers are all broke

But now I'm here and I fear that I won't float the boat

So before it sinks

I'm gonna start swimming

Cuz now that we got you I think it's just the beginning

Of things getting better and life having meaning

I might sound a little streesesed

But baby I'm beaming

Cuz your coming out

In just a little more time

nd you belong to no one else

Just Mommy's and mine



I'm getting things together

Before you get here

Trying to it better than ever

And the best year

I've been

Making changes

Nothing's the same as befor

I'm steady getting' ready

For what's next in store



Your Mom is the bomb

And everybody knows

You've been going 'round with her

Everywhere she goes

It's your whole universe

Inside of her belly

And it's been spinning like hell

That's what she tells me

Even though she's eating right

She's not sleeping nights

She's got you in her

And in you you got some fight

It kinda' makes us crazy

Even though we were before

We spend our days lazy

With a mattress on the floor

We're in love little one

And I know that you can feel it

It's been going on so long

It's strong enough to heal it-

Self with the help of a little understanding

Hope your ready for this passion

To pass it on is what we're planning

So in turn you'll return

The loving that you've learned

To a world that needs you in whatever way you learned

Things that we like

Things that we hate

Things we try to stop

And things we create

In deciding what's what

I wanna participate

So when it's time to break out

Baby don't hesitate

Cuz your Moms will be there

And so will I

Totally prepared to take care of our little guy





If it's what you need I will do

Whatever I have to

But what some people have

Dad won't give it to you

It could be sums of money

Maybe tons of stuff

You can't always have it all

But you will always have enough

Cuz I pledge this young Hedges

To whatever end it's endless

As long as I'm alive

You will never descend friendless

Into hopelessness

I'll alwaqys hope for the best

Hold you close to my chest

And go for broke to invest

In you welfare

Well cared for you will be

Be the best I can be

Underneath the canopy

Of God's plan for me

And I hope it paves the way for you to stay and stand with me

How can it be

That someone so small

Could make a man feel his life is bigger than it all

Cuz life's been kicking me

But I feel you kicking back

And that's the kind of friend

I need to keep me on track

From hopeless to focused is how I feel I've switched

I'm standing at the plate in life

And you're the first pitch

My heart skips a beat as I'm poised for connection

I've been searching for myself

I think I found my reflection
