Lyrics

First Hero
(Father’s Day Hip-Hop Song – From a Daughter to Her Dad)

Intro – Spoken Over Beat
Yeah… This one’s for my first hero.
My first love. My first protector.
Dad, this one’s for you.

Hook – Melodic & Catchy
You were my first hero, my first safe place
The one who showed me love, the one who gave me grace
Taught me how to stand, taught me how to fight
And I thank you, Daddy, every day and night.

(Ad-libs: "Yeah, yeah!" "For you, for you!")

Verse 1 – Rap
Remember Sunday drives, you played my favorite song
Hands on the wheel, but still, you sang along
Told me, "Keep your head up, don’t let ‘em dim your light,"
"Baby girl, you a queen, go and claim your right."

From scraped-up knees to prom night tears,
You wiped ‘em all, showed no fear.
Told me, "A man should treat you like you’re worth the world,"
That’s why I know my value—I’m Daddy’s girl.

Pre-Hook – Soft Melodic Vocals
You gave me time, you gave me love
Taught me to rise, never give up
Said, “Always stand tall, don’t let ‘em change your name,”
And that’s why I shine, I carry your flame.

Hook – Big Energy with Ad-Libs
You were my first hero, my first safe place
The one who showed me love, the one who gave me grace
Taught me how to stand, taught me how to fight
And I thank you, Daddy, every day and night.

(Ad-libs: "Real ones only!" "Blessed to have you!")

Verse 2 – Rap Storytelling
I see you now, every sacrifice made,
Every overtime shift, every bill you paid.
You never let me see the struggle, kept me in the light,
Taught me how to hustle, taught me wrong from right.

Now I’m out here, building my dreams,
But I still hear your voice in between the scenes.
"Stay strong, stay smart, don’t let ‘em take your crown,"
"Daughter, you’re a warrior, never back down!"

Bridge – Emotional Moment, Soft Vocals
Now I stand tall, I hope you know
That everything you taught me helped me grow
Through every lesson, through every mile
You’re still my hero, still my smile.

(Ad-libs: “Ooooh, I love you!” “You my day one!” “Forever my guide!”)

Hook – Big Finale with Choir Harmonies
You were my first hero, my first safe place
The one who showed me love, the one who gave me grace
Taught me how to stand, taught me how to fight
And I thank you, Daddy, every day and night.

Outro – Spoken with Beat Fade
Ayy, this for the fathers who held it down…
For every hug, every lesson, every sacrifice.
I love you, Dad. You my first hero.
Happy Father’s Day… One love.
(Ad-libs: “Forever grateful!” “Love you, Daddy!” “Day ones only!”)
