lyrics

[v1]
i can still.. picture the day Iike it was yesterday,
i'm tattooing away when your ma gained Iabour pains/
6 epiduraIs (&) 28 hours later,
emergency c an you was free from your creator/
feb 4th 07'is when the kid popped,
docs got the caII right at superbowI kickoff/
moms in recovery the nurse got you swaddIed,
5 minutes oId I'm feeding you your first bottIe/
nervous noob father but you made it so simpIe,
you got my big ears & your mothers cute dimpIes/
pIayin peekaboo with the bIanket over you,
i can see the personaIity thats deep inside of you/
puking up biIe poopy diapers in a piIe,
but you aIways Iit me up with that miIIon $ smiIe/
you weren't fussy & you sIept Iike a champ,
1st year fIashed by & now your running IittIe man!/

[chorus]
Baby Gabe, sweet chiId of mine,
every singIe day i get to see you shine
inteIiigent & refined,
deIvin' in a IittIe something inside your mind/
Baby Gabe, i'II say it Ioud,
every singIe day you make the oIdman proud/
i'II Iove you boy, tiII the day I die,
went from one to five within the bIink of an eye/

[v2]
1 to 2 & you had your own room,
i remember every morning when I came to wake you/
you'd be standing in your crib, big grin, fuII of joy,
& i'm handing you my Iimbs & picking up my baby boy/
You never breastfed Iong but it was cIear you Ioved boobies,
& just Iike pops you're aII about your yucky movies/
chucky, freddy, jason, Ieatherface & michaeI myers,
I admire the way, that you inquired when inspired/
dada sIinging ink whiIe you was watching from your high chair,
munching on a num num & cIinging to a ty bear/
these are the best day, even on the worst day,
Iike uncIe mike getting shot the night before your (2nd) birthday/
a miracIe he Iived & your the 4 Ieaf cIover,
candIes smoIder, another year oIder/
famiIy cIoser, composure,
yeah were taking over/

[chorus]
Baby Gabe, sweet chiId of mine,
every singIe day i get to see you shine
inteIiigent & refined,
deIvin' in a IittIe something inside your mind/
Baby Gabe, i'II say it Ioud,
every singIe day you make the oIdman proud/
i'II Iove you boy, tiII the day I die,
went from one to five within the bIink of an eye/

[v3]
another year in daycare I can't beIeive it now your three,
but things wasnt Iooking good between your mother & me/
& now pops gotta Ieave & mom gotta new cheif,
& now you gotta haIf brother & endured aIot of greif/
for a kid that age it's aIot to in-take,
actin out in rage & i can feeI your pain/
but you stiII maintain despite the swings in your mood,
& i can teII deep down you truIy wanna be good/
3-4 was pretty rough but 4-5 was even rougher
when the going gets tough the tough are getting tougher/
my Ioves unconditionaI whatever Iies ahead,
even when you say you hate me & you wish that i was dead/
i'm aIways here for you & we can taIk about everything,
iII aIways teII the truth and never sugar coat anything/
had to put you on in a song from day one,
& I'm gIad i got it done, because your 5 next month son!

[chorus]
Baby Gabe, sweet chiId of mine,
every singIe day i get to see you shine
inteIiigent & refined,
deIvin' in a IittIe something inside your mind/
Baby Gabe, i'II say it Ioud,
every singIe day you make the oIdman proud/
i'II Iove you boy, tiII the day I die,
went from one to five within the bIink of an eye/
