[Verse 1]
I`m writing you this letter just to let you know
even though through out the years my feeling never showed
You were just a little girl when I fought for mi clicka
I remember times I had no peace of mind
You see I had to hussle cause I couldn`t find work
I didn`t know that when I left that your feeling were hurt
daddy please don`t go the streets are bad
how could I explain that I had to be a man
risking all my vida every hour of the day
I always cruise around looking every single way
just to take you to the park I always said tomorrow but I said that every day
then I`ll kick it in the barrio mija understand daddy only wants the best
the day you were born I knew that I was blessed
Now I`m ready to change
I know it the only way
let me wipe your tears cause your daddy`s here to stay
[Chorus]
I got something that I want to say
daddy`s home and I`m here to stay
No need to cry cause I`m not going away
(I love you daddy) daddy`s home and I`m here to stay
[Verse 2]
It`s the rage of my god please don`t take me away
I want to be with my family but I killed a man yesterday
You saw `em coming up and your face showed fear
don`t take away my daddy and I couldn`t wipe your tear
They shoved me in the car mija please don`t cry
they were taking away your daddy and you didn`t know why
let me go I`m a man and I wana be free
found me guilty so they sent me to the crazy penitentiary
Now I never see you cause you hardly ever visit
You had your quincianera and I missed it
to many long years and I couldn`t see you grow
You`re the only one I love but you didn`t even know
I looked through my letters
to make me feel better
I could tell your little tears dried up on the letter
I miss you daddy cause now I`m grown
times are getting hard when your daddy`s never home
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
I`m sorry little mija that I chose this route
I didn`t realized what this life is all about
I waited for this moment for so long
I don`t know how I lasted feeling strong
Now I`m standing by your side and I`m here to stay
I`m never gona let anyone take you away
Forget what I did
cuz I was never there
cuz you just got to know that I`ll always care
I missed it all your first day at school
Every single birthday man I played a fool
How could I have been so blind
The love I was looking for was their all the time
I see your face and you cry I felt the swelling in my chest run deep inside
Querida your my angel the girl of my dream
Even though in the past I did some crazy things finally daddy`s here
To wipe your tears away put your head on my shoulder cause daddy`s here to stay
[Chorus]
I`m sorry mija
no need to cry cause I`m not going away
