Check it outI call itYeahYeahYeah, YeahI call it “Shit for Niggas with Daughters”I call this “Shit for Niggas with Daughters”I call this “Shit for Niggas with Daughters”I call this “Shit for Niggas with Daughters”[Verse 1]I saw my daughter send a letter to some boy her ageWho locked up, first I regretted it then caught my rage, likeHow could I not protect her from this awful phase?Never tried to hide who I was, she was taught and raised likeA princess, but while I’m on stage I can’t leave her defenselessPlus she’s seen me switching women, pops was on some pimp shitShe heard stories of her daddy thuggin’So if her husband is a gangster can’t be mad, I love herNever, for her I want better, homie in jail- dead thatWait till he come home, you can see where his head’s atNiggas got game, they be tryna liveHe seen your mama crib, plus I’m sure he know who your father isAlthough you real, plus a honest kidDon’t think I’m slow, I know you probably had that chronic litYou 17, I got a problem with itShe looked at me like I’m not the cleanest father figure but she rocking with itThis for niggas wit’ daughtersI call this, shit for niggas wit’ daughtersYo, not sayin’ that our sons are less importantShit for niggas wit’ daughtersI call this, shit for niggas wit’ daughtersI call it, not sayin’ that our sons are less important[Verse 2]This morning I got a call, nearly split my wigThis social network said “Nas go and get ya kid”She’s on Twitter, I know she ain’t gon post no picOf herself underdressed, no inappropriate shit, rightHer mother cried when she answeredSaid she don’t know what got inside this child’s mind, she plantedA box of condoms on her dresser then she Instagrammed itAt this point I realized I ain’t the strictest parentI’m too loose, I’m too cool with herShoulda drove on time to school with herI thought I dropped enough jewels on herTook her from private school, so she can get a balanceTo public school, they too nurture teen talentsThey grow fastOne day she’s ya little princess, next day she talking boy businessWhat is this?They say the coolest playas and foulest heart breakers in the worldGod get’s us back, he makes us have precious little girls[Hook][Verse 3]And I ain’t tryna mess ya thing upBut I just wanna see you dream upI finally understandIt ain’t easy to raise a girl as a single manNah, the way mothers feel for they sons, how fathers feel for they daughtersWhen he date, he straight, chip off his own papaWhen she date, we wait behind the door with the sawed offCuz we think no one is good enough for our daughtersLove
