Artist: Nas Album: Life Is Good Song: Daughters Typed by: kirenamloh@msn.com [Intro] Check it out I call it.. Yeah, yeah.. I call it -- shit for niggaz with daughters I call this -- shit for niggaz with daughters I call this -- shit for niggaz with daughters I call this -- shit for niggaz with daughters [Nas] I saw my daughter send a letter to a boy her age who locked up First I regret it, then I caught my rage like "How could I not protect her from this awful phase?" Never try to hide who I was, she was taught and raised like a princess, but while I'm on stage, I can't leave her defenseless Plus she seen me switchin women, pops is on some pimp shit She heard stories of her daddy thuggin So if her husband is a gangsta, can't be mad, I'll love him - never! For her, I want better, homie in jail, dead that Wait 'til he come home, you can see where his head's at Niggaz got game, they be tryin ta live He seen ya mama crib, plus I'm SURE he know who your father is Although you real, PLUS an honest kid Don't think I'm slow, I know you probably had that chronic lit You seventeen, I got a problem with it She look at me like I'm not the cleanest father figure but she rockin with it [Chorus] This for niggaz with daughters I call this -- shit for niggaz with daughters Yo, not sayin that our sons are less important... Shit for niggaz with daughters I call this -- shit for niggaz with daughters I call it.. not sayin that our sons are less important... [Nas] This morning I got a call nearly split my wig The social network said, "Nas, go and get ya kid" She's on Twitter, I know she ain't gon' post no pic of herself underdressed, no inappropriate shit, right? Her mother cried when she answered Said she don't know what's got inside this child's mind She planted, a box of condoms on the dresser then she Instagrammed it At this point I realized I ain't the strictest parent I'm too loose, I'm too cool with her Shoulda drove on 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, they too nurture teen talents They grow fast, one day she's your little princess Next day, she's talkin boy business, what is this? They say the coolest playas and foulest heartbreakers in the world God gets us back, He make us have precious little girls Uh~! [Chorus] [Outro: Nas] And I ain't tryna mess your thing up But I just wanna see you dream up I finally understand It ain't 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
