KaeDee - Good In Me Lyrics

I guess I would've never guessed
I saw you as the one and thought you Heaven sent
And really to this day I think I still do
Regardless how I acted in my older years
Thinking I had levelled up on everything like rah i'm so intelligent
I'm way beyond that bird's nest
Can't wait to cut that tether quick

It's a feeling that I built to
Some layers had to peel back
For how it is to spill through

Now some days I'm wishing I had never left
Especially on days when I'm unsettled it's
A blessing you were there for me
And cared to be just like us
When even now I'm tryna be just like you
Who I define as righteous
And being as, real as I can
I wrote on "Typical Man", i'm not the right dude

And I know that you're not perfect but
Really as the man to be you're who I've got my sights on cuz my dude
From the days of driving round and playing Michael
To now when I play Stevie and my inner vision's zooming out into the bigger picture
See the world upon the bluest cloud
Who never let me down I think of no one
Nah I think I know one
Your name is never brought up in that conversation
When I talk of confirmation bias
When defining who your idols are
Nah, cuz all throughout my life you've been the brightest spark
Brother thus far

The Michael to the J 5
The type that I can say's mine
With pride and that remains high
I'm lucky that I had you
And for time I couldn't state why
Sacrifice and late nights
You'd then decide to make right

Never forced on me that do what I say
Cuz I'm a man and i'll be damned
If you don't do what I say
Cuz some of these men around us played the stupidest games
But with you, as my figurehead
Who could complain?

It's funny that when I became my own man
I really did forget about my old man
Without him would I be here? That's a no fam
All the good you see in me, that's just my old man

I'm lucky that I have you in the first place
Said I'm a spitting image on my birthday
A little less now but really deep within
When you feel the good in me
That's when you're seeing him

It's funny that when I became my own man
I really did forget about my old man
Without him would I be here? That's a no fam
All the good you see in me, that's just my old man

I'm lucky that I have you in the first place
Said I'm a spitting image on my birthday
A little less now but really deep within
When you feel the good in me
That's when you're seeing him

I remember days when you were wavey with your friends
Spraying jokes and you would blatantly pretend
That you were sober but I'd see it on your face and mate your grin
Would give away your state and once in Luton when you looked at me and oh my brain would spin
Thinking fam, there's gotta be a time when
We would say goodbye, spent
Many of my nights then
Thinking would I grow into the right type to ever take your place
What if I couldn't live up to that pressure and I never do it right, men
Have come and gone before but you're the man who
Inspired and created maybe half how I'm wired and
All the things I can do
I strived to make reality because of how you managed me, the mad truth
Idolised you to the point I'd find it mad you had a dad too
Forgive me for the times that I would snap, that was me, I was a damn fool
It wasn't you, if I ever have my own then I deserve a couple handfuls

It's funny that when I became my own man
I really did forget about my old man
Without him would I be here? That's a no fam
All the good you see in me, that's just my old man

I'm lucky that I have you in the first place
Said I'm a spitting image on my birthday
A little less now but really deep within
When you feel the good in me
That's when you're seeing him
