A song about my kids

Lyrics

Verse 1

Clean your room

Stack your shoes by the door

Got no room for your slackin anymore

Gotta be sharp

Gotta be ready

Hold your head up heavy

Four little faces lookin at mine

Hard lessons

Hard truths

All the time

Life is a beast without no cage

I am just preparing you for center stage

No easy outs

No shortcuts found

Keep your feet on the ground

Chorus

I do it cause I love you

Yeah I do it cause I love you

I am tough on my son

I am firm with my girls

Just to get you ready for a crazy world

It is heavy on my heart

But I do it cause I love you

Yeah I do it cause I love you

Hook

I am building up soldiers

Soldiers

Soldiers

Before the weather gets colder

Colder

Colder

Verse 2

Three princesses and one young prince

Haven't seen a soft moment since

Don't you cry

Don't you quit

Take the hit

Stand your ground

Speak up loud

Make your father proud

This map is messy and the road is long

Trying to make you tough

Trying to make you strong

I see the pout on your lip

But I cannot let the discipline slip

Survival is a craft

The math is simple

Calculated

Constant

I know you hate it

But the pavement is heartless

Chorus

I do it cause I love you

Yeah I do it cause I love you

I am tough on my son

I am firm with my girls

Just to get you ready for a crazy world

It is heavy on my heart

But I do it cause I love you

Yeah I do it cause I love you

Bridge

Maybe one day you will understand the weight

The way I handle your fate

The way I block the gate

Hard for a reason

Hard through the seasons

Checking every single move you make

Until your spirit don't break

Until your heart don't shake

Chorus

I do it cause I love you

Yeah I do it cause I love you

I am tough on my son

I am firm with my girls

Just to get you ready for a crazy world

It is heavy on my heart

But I do it cause I love you

Yeah I do it cause I love you

Outro

One boy

Three girls

My whole world

Eyes open

Back straight

Ready for it

I love you
