Elihu & Jefe - Be Your Own Daddy Lyrics

Once upon a time not long ago
People took responsibility
I know it sounds weird; I can't believe it myself
But it just might be what you need

Someone told me this years ago
And it's helped me in many ways
It sounds weird; it sounds strange
I don't care anyway
And I've been saying it every day

You gotta be your own daddy
You gotta be your own daddy
You gotta be your own daddy
Yeah you do

Losin' your job that you needed the most
And rent's comin' up next week
Now's not the time to sit and complain
It's time to get on your feet

Son of a bitch if it happens again
I swear I'm gonna find a bridge
You need to know that you're not alone
And you can try to do what I did

You gotta be your own daddy
You gotta be your own daddy
You gotta be your own daddy
Yeah you do

You gotta be your own daddy
You gotta be your own daddy
You gotta be your own daddy
Yeah you do

Sittin' here taking these photographs
So it looks like we're having fun
I can't stand livin' life through a tiny screen
It's a lot of what I've become

Take your time and embrace this life
Cause it's the only one that we've got
Live in the moment even when it's a pain
And smile until you drop

You gotta be your own daddy
You gotta be your own daddy
You gotta be your own daddy
Yeah you do

You gotta be your own daddy
You gotta be your own daddy
You gotta be your own daddy
Yeah you do
