Dear Oliver lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dear Oliver, it's your dad speakin'
I'm out in Cape Town, makin' magic, in this hat, reachin'
For a rabbit or maybe a parakeet
You give me drive like I toss you a pair of keys
I thought before I'd have you, I would've asked your mama to marry me
But here I am with this ringless finger and no dirt on my knee
A month away 'til you breathe the air that I breathe
It's 5AM in this booth and I will not leave
Until I— Yeah, 'til I finish this letter and rap it to Ebenez
Let him record it and make sure it sounded heavenly
I've been workin' on things so you could meet the better me
I put my hand on your mother's tummy and fall asleep
I'm just hopin' you kick your way into your father's dreams
I got the rompers waitin' for you, you just wait and see
Split me how you want with your mama, y'all get all of me
Yeah, I've never been so f*ckin' nervous in my whole life
I flew back home to tell my dad I made a whole life
Got some advice and took some time to get my dome right
I paid your granny the traditional way
Zulu man, so it only became official that day
Yabo? Bro
When I get to hold you, I'll come back to this mic and I'll tell you some more

[Interlude]
Cool
Well done, Sammie
[Verse 2]
Ayy, June 25, you arrived
I have to be the happiest man alive
Thankful to the big guy in the sky, you survived
All praises to the most High
When I heard your first cry the first time, you heard mine
I couldn't even hold it in, it just escaped me
Looked at bae like, "We just made a baby, this is crazy"
Used to wanna die young, now I wanna touch eighty
And these Pampers ain't cheap, so if you owe me, better pay me
Yeah, I'm such a lucky guy, I can't lie
I bought your crib for nothing, you sleep in my arms fine
I thought before I'd have you, I'd live to see cars fly
But here I am in this traffic, hopin' I make it on time
Calculatin' ETA with the midwife on the line
And this IvySon sh*t my religion, still saved by the Son, but now it's one I call mine
My boy
Yeah, and it's been about a month since you touched down
This was meant to be, I feel it in my gut now
Son, you've given me a whole new reason to conquer
If anybody touch you, I swear I'll show them a monster
Rip them apart and turn them red, do a man like lobster
Your mother named you after Yoshi, the purest soul I've ever met, an angel in the form of a rock star
May he rest in eternal peace
I'm not privy to God's plans, but I know that he's earned a seat
And I'm confident certainly
[Outro]
Yeah
