Nas - Daughters lyrics
Check it out I call it Yeah Yeah Yeah, Yeah I call it sh** for n***as with Daughters I call this sh** for n***as with Daughters I call this sh** for n***as with Daughters I call this sh** for n***as with Daughters [Verse 1] 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 Im on stage I cant leave her defenseless Plus shes seen me switching women, pops was on some pimp sh** She heard stories of her daddy thuggin So if her husband is a gangster cant be mad, I love her Never, for her I want better, homie in jail- dead that Wait till he come home, you can see where his heads at n***as got game, they be tryna live He seen your mama crib, plus Im sure he know who your father is Although you real, plus a honest kid Dont think Im slow, I know you probably had that chronic lit You 17, I got a problem with it She looked at me like Im not the cleanest father figure but she rocking with it This for n***as wit daughters I call this, sh** for n***as wit daughters Yo, not sayin that our sons are less important sh** for n***as wit daughters I call this, sh** for n***as wit daughters I call it, not sayin that our sons are less important [Verse 2] This morning I got a call, nearly split my wig This social network said Nas go and get ya kid Shes on Twitter, I know she aint gon post no pic Of herself underdressed, no inappropriate sh**, right Her mother cried when she answered Said she dont know what got inside this childs mind, she planted A box of condoms on her dresser then she Instagrammed it At this point I realized I aint the strictest parent Im too loose, Im too cool with her Shoulda drove on time to school with her I thought I dropped enough j**els on her Took her from private school, so she can get a balance To public school, they too nurture teen talents They grow fast One day shes ya little princess, next day she talking 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 [Hook] [Verse 3] And I aint tryna mess ya thing up But I just wanna see you dream up I finally understand It aint 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 the sawed off Cuz we think no one is good enough for our daughters Love
