Daddy Songtext
von Mia X

This song is dedicated to all the responsible brothers out there

Who show love and support to their children

I′d like to say thank you
Cause I have a very important man in my life
He means the world to me

He helped make me into the strong woman I am today

I'm talkin bout my daddy
I think back to the first time I messed up
You knew that I needed to be

But you couldn′t chastise me
Daddy's little girl


Most precious of all
Loved me more than anything
Your real live baby doll
Bounced me on your knee
Taught me how to throw my set up
Said you ain't got no brothers
Fight dirty don′t take nothin
Saw you bustin your butt
To keep the bills paid

Saw you hustlin for extras
For more pay
You made a way
And tried to keep us happy up in the house
Cause you wasn′t tryin to see your queen or your princess pout
Down and out sometimes
But you tried to hide your pain

And be a true playa in this white man's game
Never called my momma out of her name
Showed respect
Never put your hands on her
Even when she backed you in the corner
So I wanna say you are appreciated
And this love song is dedicated to my daddy


Thank you daddy
I know that I′m blessed
To have a father like you
Cause you done your best
Under so much stress
In this crazy world we got
Knows you tried
Even when they got your hands tied

Remember when I came home
Seventeen and pregnant
An unexpected blow
But your disappointment never did show
You looked me in my teary eyes
Then you smiled
Put your arms around me
Said my baby's givin me a grandchild

Showed my boyfriend love too
Didn′t come preachin or beefin
Just said you know what you gotta do

And when he didn't
You didn′t rub it in
You just did his part
And tried to heal my young broken heart
I thought the things you used to say way back for certain

Was just to try and keep me a virgin
But with all the hurtin and the drama I been through
I wish I woulda listened to you
Cause it was all true
Daddy
The man that loves me unconditionally

Through thick and thin
You'll always stand by me
Daddy
I love you with all my heart
You're my soldier
My hero
And my shining star
Thank you

I gotta give love to all the real strong brothers
Responsible daddies

Even if you′re not with your babies mothers
Your support
Your love
And your time
Helps keep your children in the right frame of mind
And to the single fathers out there

Much respect
I′m a single parent too
So I know where you're at
And where you′re comin from baby
But it's gon get better
Hold your head through the stormy weather
And stand your ground firm
And all my sisters with good men at your side

It sure feels good to see the royal family rise
I cried joyful tears
Happy as can be
To see man, woman, and child as one family

See the cards is stacked up against us y′all
So we gotta work it out
Can't let em see us fall
But most of all
Thank you God
Cause for years I had an example of what a real man is
My dad
