Yeah… This one ain’t about the streets. Ain’t about money. Ain’t about proving nothing to nobody. This is for the woman who stood beside me… My wife. [Verse 1] You met a man with some scars I was scared to reveal, I learned to hide all my pain, you taught me how to feel, And I know loving me sometimes probably came with a price, But you stayed through the darkness and kept bringing me light. We had arguments, tears, nights we barely would speak, Times I carried the world but was too stubborn and weak, You saw something inside me underneath all the pain, When I couldn’t see the sunshine, you stood with me through rain. I know I ain’t perfect, I got ways I regret, Probably owe you apologies I ain’t even said yet, But if I had another lifetime and they gave me a choice, I’d still search through the whole world just to hear your voice. [Hook] You’re my wife, you’re my home, you’re my peace when I’m lost, You’re the one that stayed beside me no matter the cost, When this life gets too heavy and I’m feeling exhausted, I look over and see you and remember why I fought it. And if everything disappeared—the money, cars, clothes— I’d still be rich with your hand inside mine to hold, ’Cause I learned what love means watching us both grow, And if I never said it enough… Baby, I need you to know. [Verse 2] I wanna grow old together, laugh about younger days, Tell our stories at the table while our hair turns gray, Look at everything we built and the family we made, And say, “Damn, we went through hell, but our love never changed.” And baby, if I’ve been distant when my mind wasn’t right, It was never you—I was fighting my own battles inside, Sometimes I don’t know the words for the things that I feel, But when I tell you “I love you,” understand that it’s real. You’re more than my woman, you’re the mother, the friend, The person I wanna come home to when the whole day ends, I don’t promise perfection, but I’ll promise you this: I’ll keep choosing our love as long as I exist. [Bridge] If tomorrow ain’t promised, Tonight I want it known: Of all the places I’ve been… You always felt like home. When everybody sees the strong me, You’ve seen the man underneath, And somehow through my hardest moments, You still believed in me. [Final Hook] You’re my wife, you’re my heart, you’re a piece of my soul, And I hope when we’re eighty, it’s still your hand that I hold, Through the good, through the bad, through the highs and the lows, There’s a million different roads… But you’re the one I chose. And when my story gets told and they ask what mattered most, It wasn’t money, wasn’t pride, wasn’t things I could own— It was waking up beside you and building our home. I love you, baby. More than I probably ever say. And if I had to live this life again… I’d still choose you. Every time.
