[Chorus 1]

We rally round the I

I will never wonder why

Nor will we say goodbye

That's why we rally round the I

[Verse 1]

Life's a battle of the network stars, it's a ? mentally scarred

I gambled on my destiny's cards

Acapulco gold, use a Colt, ?, youth unfold

? ahead of me, homes, I steadily grow

My heavenly soul control the deadliest chrome

But the life of a child is what God blessed me to mould

This is something I put before everything, every thought

Every bit of energy is focused on her every need

I don't give a fuck how gangster you think you are

When you witness the birth of your first child it hits hard

Speaking for myself I'm still speechless

But I owe it to her to put this into words

In case I'm not here when she peeps this

God forbid, I plan to be here until a hundred and five

Until my great grandchildren are alive

Till they listen to this rhyme and wonder why

We rally round the I

And so we never say goodbye, baby girl it's for you, Riva

[Chorus 2]

I want you to love me

I never ever worry

It doesn't matter anymore (no more)

It's time for us to rally round the I

Let's rally round the I

Rally round the I

We'll rally round the I

[Verse 2]

We named you after my mother's mother

She raised me now we raise you

When I look at you, praise due

Thank God for this beautiful life

Now everything makes sense, thank God for my beautiful wife

In Hindu, Riva's a singer, a beautiful voice

We could've stopped right there, what a beautiful choice

In Hebrew it means "joy", in Arabic it means "hope"

In Latin it means "queen", in Yiddish it means "rose"

To me it means kick down doors with four-fours

If grandma was still here she'd have given me the chrome

I don't rhyme for me no more, I grind for her

I don't live for me no more, I die for her

Human rights, we bringing the truth to the light

Bring the youth to the fight while we shoot through the night

This is dedicated to my wife and my baby girl

Riva May Braunstein, I give you my whole world

I love you

[Chorus 1]
