Dad Life (f​.​/​Beefy)

lyrics

[BEEFY]
it's the dad life, aka the stressing out life
the you're not getting any tv till ya eat your brussel sprouts life
each and every day ya brighten
it's like we bottled lightnin
explain to me why it can be so frightnin
i just want what is best for ya, have a Barbie fest with ya
clean your mess and I won't be a pest to ya
maybe it is petty to complain about toys
but if she don't listen right now then she won't listen bout boys
[BENJAMIN BEAR]
i’m waking up at three o clock in the morning
guess who needs more food
babies up in here are just so rude
having conversations about their favorite cartoons
and more food
which of you is smellin like old poop
no dude
you can’t eat your fruit in the bathroom
eat cat food
knockin over the last juice
tryin to relax
then they both come and attack you
dad life
wouldnt trade it for a statue

now children don’t you worry
cuz your daddy’s here
gonna tuck you in
chase the bad dreams away
don’t be in such a hurry
cuz growing up ain’t all that fun
listen what ya daddy say

[BENJAMIN BEAR]
i know you’ll have a bad day
but i’m here cuz i’m your family
i’ll do the best i can to do the damn thing
i’m not perfect but i love you like you were my own
because you are
that’s why i keep you in my home
and i’m impressed with every step you ever learned to take
and every setback you have
feels like it’s mine to make
might be embarrassing but yo
i hope you understand
you’re the reason that your dad became a grown man
[BEEFY]
and the reason i get goofy as a little boy
you found a way to turn a blackened heart into a thing of joy
and when we don't get a party
well then i get annoyed
you and the dog are the only ones allowed to be so unemployed
best believe i may be raising a misfit
shoes up on the table eating cheetos for breakfast
try to discipline you but sometimes i get choked up
that's why your mother says your little fingers got me wrapped up

now children don’t you worry
cuz your daddy’s here
gonna tuck you in
chase the bad dreams away
don’t be in such a hurry
cuz growing up ain’t all that fun
listen what ya daddy say

In 1750, Benjamin Franklin was observed by over fifteen residents of Philadelphia as he branded an unidentified man with an Illuminati insignia. He was overheard telling one of his associates, “my work will be done once Benjamin Bear arrives to complete it.”

The reliability of these findings has been verified.

Benjamin Bear has arrived. ... more
