Letter To My Daughter

I said this shit might be the realest shit I ever wrote (ayo, let me hear that KF)

Might be the realest shit I ever quote (you're so lazy)

Yeah

Letter to my daughter (yeah, yeah)

I'm just tryna be your father (yeah)

Ayy

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're blessed because I know some kids in group homе

Ain't seen you since the week that you was born, miss you in my arms

Mom be on somе complicated shit so I don't see you

She put the police on me, at the end of the day, it hurt you

Kinda 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 workin' for me

Seeing you growing up from afar tends to scare me

Even though shit got rough, I'm still prayin' for your mama

Hope you get the chance to see my grandpa and my grandma

'Cause they getting kinda old, and grandpa been getting sick

So Mariah, if you hear this, can you please complete the wish?

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 been losing sleep and it's been hard for me to eat

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 dyin', just to see you, something that I'd kill for

Tryna be a co-parent turned me into a no-parent

Feeling like I'm transparent, what I tell your grandparents?

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, shit like changing your Pampers

You're nothing less than a goddess, you better not lower your standards

A nigga call your somethin' else, bet I correct his grammar

Any question that you got, I promise, I got the answer

'Nother nigga playing a role that I was given

A 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

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 been losing sleep and it's been hard for me to eat

I can't really call it pain 'cause I know this shit a process

God give us challenges and see us make some progress

Ain't nothing from this situation I can say I regret

Wouldn't even hit a reset, learn 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 fucking 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 relationships 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 curls

Letter to my daughter

I'm just tryna be your father

Letter to my daughter

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 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 been losing sleep and it's been hard for me to eat

They say Black fathers don't matter, they say Black fathers don't care

But more than anything, I'll always be there

I love you
