[Intro] I think this sh*t might be the realest sh*t I ever wrote (Ayo, let me hear that KF) Might be the realest sh*t I ever quote (You're so LayZ) Yeah Letter to my daughter (Yeah, yeah) I'm just trying to be your father (Yeah) Ayy [Verse 1] In the back of the Rolls Royce, you can't enter with your shoes on Finna cop a Rolls Royce car seat for my newborn Baby girl, you blessed because I know some kids in group home Ain't seen you sincе the week that you was born, miss you in my arms Mom be on some complicatеd sh*t, so I don't see you She put the police on me, at the end of the day, it hurt you Kind of hurt me too, never let life lessons break you Evaluate the mistake and just wait on your breakthrough All for you, Clover, I turned over a new leaf But I get the type of treatment that belong to a deadbeat Know that God and the universe be working for me Seeing you growing up from afar tends to scare me Even though sh*t got rough, I'm still praying for your mama Hope you get the chance to see my grandpa and my grandma 'Cause they getting kind of old, and grandpa been getting sick So Mariah, if you hear this, can you please complete the wish? [Chorus] Please, no pity for a G I know I got a daughter that I barely get to see It haven't been a couple hours, it's been since the first week And lately, I've been losing sleep and it's been hard for me to eat [Verse 2] Last time I tried to see you, went to jail on that same day Fightin' two felonies 'bout you and I got another case If I shoot in the house that you in, take my breath away I never put my hands on no woman, wasn't raised that way Ayy, I wanted a child just to have something to live for Now I'm dying just to see you, something that I'd kill for Trying to be a co-parent turned me to a no-parent Feeling like a transparent, what'd I tell your grandparent? I'd cut my feet off just to see your first steps Bad enough I wasn't in town to see your first breaths Might not hear your first words and it's hurtin' me to death Every time I try to do right, I get played to the left Never take it for granted, sh*t like changing your Pampers You nothing less than a goddess, you better not lower your standards A ni**a call your somethin' else, bet I correct his grammar Any question that you got, I promise I got the answers 'Nother ni**a playing a role that I was given The feeling she might be calling him daddy got me the sickest, so I'm trippin' If I slid on that boy and got the blicky, yeah, I'm trippin' Gotta separate my pride from my feelings [Chorus] Please, no pity for a G I know I got a daughter that I barely get to see It haven't been a couple hours, it's been since the first week And lately, I've been losing sleep and it's been hard for me to eat [Verse 3] I can't really call it pain 'cause I know this sh*t a process God give us challenges to see us make some progress Ain't nothing from the situation I can say I regret Wouldn't even hit a reset, learned something life ain't teach yet The walls start to close and this room gettin' smaller Laying in this room mama designed for my daughter Playing this tune that I designed for the fathers that's good fu*king hearted, but distant from they toddler Read books until you go to sleep Wake up, cook you something to eat Mold you to a baby G, just like your daddy Hope that you remember me, 'cause Brylie, you my mini-me Your mama my worst enemy, I'm praying she forgive a G Tryin' to put me on child support, all the child need is support Would've gave you more than child support could ever afford Long-term relations from short-term greed Just be careful what you pick when you the one that's in need Such a big miracle in such a little girl Never let them break your spirit in this physical world 'Cause you make the diamonds shine more unique than a pearl And I knew that you was mine from your smile and your curl [Bridge] Letter to my daughter I'm just trying to be your father Letter to my daughter [Chorus] Please, no pity for a G I know I got a daughter that I barely get to see It haven't been a couple hours, it's been since the first week And lately, I've been losing sleep and it's been hard for me to eat Please, no pity for a G I know I got a daughter that I barely get to see It haven't been a couple hours, it's been since the first week And lately, I've been losing sleep and it's been hard for me to eat [Outro] They say Black fathers don't matter I'll be back, Clover They say Black fathers don't care But more than anything, I'll always be there I love you
