Daughters |
Check it out |
I call it, yeah, yeah |
For my brothers with daughters, I call this |
For my brothers with daughters, I call this |
For my brothers with daughters, I call this |
For my brothers with daughters |
I saw my daughter send a letter to some boy her age |
Who locked up, first I regretted it, then caught my rage |
Like, how could I not protect her from this awful phase? |
Never tried to hide who I was, she was taught and raised |
Like a princess, but while I’m on stage I can’t leave her defenseless |
Plus she’s seen me switchin' women, Pops was on some pimp shit |
She heard stories of her daddy thuggin' |
So if her husband is a gangster, can’t be mad, I’ll love him |
Never, for her I want better, homie in jail — dead that |
Wait 'til he come home, you can see where his head’s at |
Niggas got game, they be tryna live |
He seen your Mama crib, plus I’m sure he know who your father is |
Although you real, plus a honest kid |
Don’t think I’m slow, I know you probably had that chronic lit |
You seventeen, I got a problem with it |
She looked at me like I’m not the cleanest father figure |
But she rockin' with it |
For my brothers with daughters, I call this |
For my brothers with daughters, I call this |
Not sayin' that our sons are less important |
For my brothers with daughters, I call this |
For my brothers with daughters, I call this |
Not sayin' that our sons are less important |
This morning I got a call, nearly split my wig |
This social network said: «Nas, go and get your kid!» |
She’s on Twitter, I know she ain’t gon' post no pic |
Of herself underdressed — no inappropriate shit, right? |
Her mother cried when she answered |
Said she don’t know what got inside this child’s mind, she planted |
A box of condoms on her dresser, then she Instagram’d it |
At this point I realized I ain’t the strictest parent |
I’m too loose, I’m too cool with her |
Should’ve drove more time to school with her |
I thought I dropped enough jewels on her |
Took her from private school, so she can get a balance |
To public school, they’re too nurture teen talents |
They grow fast, one day she’s your little princess |
Next day she’s talkin' boy business — what is this? |
They say the coolest playas and foulest heart breakers in the world |
God gets us back, he makes us have precious little girls |
For my brothers with daughters, I call this |
For my brothers with daughters, I call this |
Not sayin' that our sons are less important |
For my brothers with daughters, I call this |
For my brothers with daughters, I call this |
Not sayin' that our sons are less important |
And I ain’t tryin' to mess your thing up |
But I just wanna see you dream up |
I finally understand |
It ain’t easy to raise a girl as a single man |
Nah, the way mothers feel for they sons |
How fathers feel for they daughters |
When he date, he straight, chip off his own papa |
When she date, we wait behind the door with a sawed-off |
‘Cause we think no one is good enough for our daughters |
Love |
