The Declaration of Independence
Think I could tell you that first sentence
But then I’m lost
I can't begin to count the theories
I've had pounded in my head
That I forgot
In a couple days, my family and I will be celebrating my father's birthday. I love my dad, he's strong, kind and generous. He has the best stories from when he was growing up that you would never believe. I still can believe some of the things he did growing up. My dad got into so much trouble when he was my age which makes sense to why he is so protective of me. Not just when it comes to boys but where I go, what I do, and who I'm with. I always check in with my dad, not just for my sake but for his sake.
I don't remember all that Spanish
Or the Gettysburg address
But there is one speech from high school
I'll never forget
I'm an only child, and I'm my parents proud and joy so they are very protective of me even though I am 22. I still let my parents know where I'm going and who I'm with. That's just in my nature and that is what they taught me to do. My parents have every right to worry about me especially since I hangout with so many guys but as long as they know who I'm with or where I am they have nothing to really worry about.
Come on in boy sit on down
And tell me about yourself
So you like my daughter do you now?
Yeah we think she's something else
She's her daddy's girl
Her momma's world
She deserves respect
That’s what she'll get
Ain’t it son?
Hey y'all run along and have some fun
I'll see you when you get back
Bet I’ll be up all night
Still cleanin' this gun
The men in my life, my dad especially, have always protected me. They've protected me in their own, unique way and I don't know what I would do without them. I don't know what I would do without my daddy and I hope I don't have to find out anytime soon because he's not just my father but also my best friend. We would watch WWE together and that was a bond no one could take away from us.
