LYRICS GAME

Fill in the lyric gaps as you listen to the song
Me, I'm the kind of dad
A bit old-school
I met your mom
Before I had a life
I had a boy
But in my tradition
The real blessing
Is to have a girl
So, my princess
All it takes is you showing up
For time to stop
A kilometer around
God is infinite
And I thank Him
For having chosen me
To be your dad
Imany
Don't listen to fears
Or smooth talkers
Moralizers
Their hearts are tiny
They have this way
Of asking forgiveness
Forgiveness from God
And never from victims
We can love each other
Without always agreeing
We can help each other
Even if we barely know each other
If you've got kids
Teach them first
What you would've liked
Someone to teach you
Sometimes the time of justice
Is too long
Do good on Earth
Before talking about the skies
Some beliefs
Come straight from colonizers
You can sort through them
To get closer to God
It's not that serious
To make mistakes
What's serious
Is wanting to ignore them
The goal isn't
To be the best
The goal's to
Get better every day
Imany
You don't have to
Be some average girl
You don't have to
Be Michelle Obama
You don't have to
Want to be a mom
You don't have to
Want to be a queen
Don't listen to men
Don't listen to orders
Don't listen to codes
That spit bullsh*t
Keep learning
To love your body
To love your curves
To love yourself
We have our values
And our traditions
If your boyfriend
Takes you for a stroll
Tell him clearly it's him
Who'll pay the bill
Tell him it's the tax
On patriarchy
You idealize me
But even your daddy
Is paternalistic
You gotta forgive me
Tell these gentlemen
It's really pretentious
To teach life
To the ones who give it
Imany
Sometimes happiness
Has a bitter taste
Sometimes you're all alone
Especially when you climb
Sometimes to be at peace
With yourself
You'll be at war
Against the rest of the world
But whatever you do
I'll always be there
Even in the hereafter
Love wins at the end
Whether you're a boss
Whether you're a mom
Whether you're a baroness
Or all three at once
You know how your grandmas
Were grand
You know we miss them
But that they answer us
They were brave
Beautiful, elegant
That's why you wear
Proudly their names
As long as you can
You gotta defy laws
As long as you can
You gotta defy kings
And if they ask you
What your faith means
Just answer
That God is great
