lyrics

You used to be daddy's girl
Why did you listen to the world
You used to be daddy's girl
When did you decide to rebel

I ain't here to disrespect you girl.
But I am here to change your world.
No not me. I'm talking bout my best friend.
So tell a friend to tell a friend we can be friends.

See. I'm just a wing man. I'm the bearer of the ring man.
It's a rap I'm not singing
You're precious. Yes, You are precious, see
It's good news I'm bringing. Best believe me.

You're not a black spider. Your a back slider
Drop those bad apples You need to lack cider
Drop those bad habits like a street fighter
Time to burn brighter stand up & reach higher

You can use your tippy toes like a ballerina
Stop being played by these boys like a galleria
You are not an arcade so know those in sin fall
Stop letting them hit it you are not a game of pinball

You dig yourself a hole then keep finding your pitfall
I understand your shovel mentality it's like football
You take what you're handed then you run with it
But I'm wondering what if you fumble and stumbling

When will you be done with it stop letting kids in
I pray you find patience and discover real wisdom
Yet you waste it all away because you used to pray
but god didn't answer your needs the way you needed that day

Why have you given up on true love
Why are you slave with black and blue hugs
You need a clean slate not a new plate
Don't you know your fine china make no mistake

I know you like the attention and enjoy the affection
You end up a victim when a thief is what you let in
Oh and did I mention you need to discern with suspicion
Most dudes be suspect stealing your heart without permission

As for that baby you know you wanted to keep
What do she do to deserve the trash heap
Yesterday's news turns into today's garbage
Why buckle under social pressure it's the hardest

Too many Xs watch the pinheads fall down
No need to be an alley cat prowling around town

You are still daddy's girl
Time to walk away from the world
You are still daddy's girl
Now is the time to rebuild
