Letra de If I Had a Daughter

[Hook 1: CJay]
Oh daughter of mine I say, oh daughter of mine I say
(You can change)
Oh daughter of mine I say (You can change)
Oh daughter of mine I say (You can change)
(Repeat)
[Verse 1: CJay]
If I had a daughter I would raise her right
Show her the way of life to make up for my father's mistake in life
Teach her right from wrong and I won't have to say it twice
And if I'm wrong and her moms wrong well I guess two wrongs don't make a right
I'd stay up late at night and ask her what her grades are like
Teach her to pray at night, tuck her in and say good night
I want you to have nice things so I'd work day and night
Ugh They wanna evict us and I haven't paid the lights
Ladies let me say this and I ain't asking you to take it light
But I don't like this generation and girls nowadays are like
Exactly less classy, dress trashy get nasty
Hoes they get happy to throw the sex at me
The men's mental mind wasn't meant for mine
My yute you a badman eeee? No one is a gentleman
I won't give away my daughter at the alter
Cuz men are stuck on sex and it sells; destined to fail
"I'm a bad bitch"—you see how they're addressing themselves?
Demand respect—do they even have respect for themselves
If only it took me an hour to understand pussy is power I would tell women distribute power wisely
The type to give it up cuz niggas blowing kisses at em
Address yourself as Mrs.—Madame with the rib from Adam
Knew she was a bitch and that was when she bit the apple
Eve, no disrespect intended that was precedented
Presented from the Old Testament
The King James Version I guess in life the good things ain't certain
You women should've acknowledged me but you wouldn't
I guess it's hard to find good quality in a woman
Daughter of mine I say oh daughter of mine I say
(You could change)
[Verse 2: CJay]
If you were my daughter I would try to uplift you
If you are willing to receive then I will give you
The insight to take you to a higher place; you took flight
You want the wrong look when you naturally look right
The type to make a brother double take; he have to look twice
Beautiful but you are worth more than what you look like
I'm not sexist, neither am I misogynist
Isn't it obvious gender hated ain't what the problem is
There ain't no positive role models when you should look up to a Clair Huxtable
Good luck to you
I value you, you're valuable, I'm reaching out to you
How could you walk the wrong path when there's a different route to choose
You see.. Women's intelligence level is a blessing from god
Treat you like the princess that you are
My women don't forget your history and what you been through
You know how to continue; what you put out is what you put in you
Knowledge apply to your mental; wisdom: making smart decisions
Think about the vulnerable women and the foster children
I have faith in you and two things to say to you
Praise the man above you and daddy loves you
[Hook 2: CJay]
Oh daughter of mine I say, oh daughter of mine I say
(You can change)
Oh daughter of mine I say (You can change)
Oh daughter of mine I say (You can change)
(Repeat)
[Hook 3: CJay]
Oh daughter of mine I say, oh daughter of mine I say
(You can change)
Oh daughter of mine I say (You can change)
Oh daughter of mine I say (You can change)
(Repeat)
