[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 switchin women, Pops was on some pimp shit
~#**************#~
She heard stories of her daddy thuggin
~#**************#~
So if her husband is a gangster, cant be mad, Ill love him
~#**************#~
Never, for her I want better, homie in jail – dead that
~#**************#~
Wait til he come home, you can see where his heads at
~#**************#~
Niggas 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 seventeen, I got a problem with it
~#**************#~
She looked at me like Im not the cleanest father figure
~#**************#~
But she rockin with it
~#**************#~

[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
This morning I got a call, nearly split my wig
~#**************#~
This social network said: “Nas, go and get your kid!”
~#**************#~
Shes on Twitter, I know she aint gon post no pic
~#**************#~
Of herself underdressed – no inappropriate shit, 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 Instagramd it
~#**************#~
At this point I realized I aint the strictest parent
~#**************#~
Im too loose, Im too cool with her
~#**************#~
Shouldve 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, theyre too nurture teen talents
~#**************#~
They grow fast, one day shes your little princess
~#**************#~
Next day shes 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
~#**************#~

[Verse 3]
~#**************#~
And I aint tryin to mess your 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 a sawed-off
~#**************#~
‘Cause we think no one is good enough for our daughters
~#**************#~
Love
