[Chorus]
For my brothers✦ with daughters,✦ I call this
For my brothers✦ with daughters,✦ I call this
Not sayin' that our sons are less important✦
For my brothers✦ with daughters,✦ I call this
For my brothers✦ with daughters,✦ I call this
Not sayin' that our sons are less important✦
[Verse 2]
This morning I got a call, nearly✦ split my wig
This social network said: "Nas, go and get your 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 got inside✦ this child's mind, she planted
A box of condoms on her dresser, then she Instagram'd it
At this point I realized I ain't the strictest parent
I'm too loose, I'm too cool with her
Should've 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, 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 heart breakers in the world
God gets us back, he makes✦ us have precious little girls, uh
[Chorus]
For my brothers✦ with daughters,✦ I call this
For my brothers✦ with daughters,✦ I call this
Not sayin' that our sons are less important✦
For my brothers✦ with daughters,✦ I call this
For my brothers✦ with daughters,✦ I call this
Not sayin' that our sons are less important✦
[Outro]
And I ain't tryin' to 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
