Daughters

Check it out

I call it

Yeah, yeah

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 see me switching women, pops is 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 till he come home, you can see where his head's at

**** got game, they be tryna live

He seen your momma crib, plus I'm sure he know who your father is

Although you real, plus an 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 asked her

Said she don't know what got inside this child's mind, she planted

A box of condoms on her dresser, then she Instagrammed it

At this point I realized, I ain't the strictest parent

I'm too loose, I'm too cool with her, shoulda drove more times 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 too nurture teen talents

They drove fast, one day, she's your little princess

Next day, she talking boy business, what is this?

They say the coolest players 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 tryna 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, our fathers feel for they daughters

When he date, he straight, chip off his own poppa

When she date, we wait behind the door with a sawed-off

'Cause we think no one is good enough for our daughters

Love
