essential

I'm essential
I'm essential
I'm essential
Well I'm essential too
Not taken nothing away from you
But I was essential before being essential was coo
And just because I don't do what you do
Doesn't make me any less as essential than you
I may not work a traditional gig like you
But you can't put a price tag on what I do
I show up everyday thru and thru
No sick leave, paid time off, or vacations for few
So dont you dare tell me that I'm less qualified
Or not as essential as you
Because I'm a father and you can't put a price
Tag on what I do
Which is take all the odds that are against me
To ensure you that she wants for nothing
So just because I don't punch a clock
And adhere to what others tell me
Doesnt mean your any more essential than me
Because what I do no job can ever give me
Which is the validation that I'm doing everything that she needs from me
So pardon me....if I don't feel that your anymore
As essential as me
Because being a great daddy is what's essential to me
Not just something I can say your acceptance of me
