VERSE 1
âItâs a manâs worldâ all about (him)
âCause, she cool but she not (him)
Ladies first only when she put there by (him)
Want her to take orders, never see her as a soldier
Hold up! Let me stop acting like Iâm not him
Like I never womanized or undermined (her)
Want her how I wanted, where I wanted when I wanted her
In a home she made being treated like a foreigner
Taught she only valuable if she got (him)
And if she can have a baby boy by (him)
Future male chauvinist just like (him)
Would you want him for your daughter, how we plan on moving forward
In order for us to grow gotta stop (him)/me
From thinking that weâre better than or we own (her)
Of course our destinies coincide
So I gotta do better in my daughterâs eyes
So you know you gotta...
HOOK (JSOUL & Substantial)
Keep growing, baby
Keep growing, baby
âCause this world is yours baby
Itâs your baby
Keep growing, baby
Keep growing, baby
âCause youâre so much more baby
Much more baby
VERSE 2
Had to raise a couple kids all without (him)
But employers never give her what they got (him)
Who get custody in most cases itâs not (him)
Forced to do it with less, always doing her best
But a good man, she lucky if she find (him)
Like the same donât apply the day he find (her)
Would you drop everything so you could lift her up
Like she did for you every time you had given up
But you talking like she lucky that she not (him)
Traumatized her for life, they just shot (him)
Forced to find the strength to carry on without (him)
Knowing your son could face the same and unbearable pain
âCause she know what this cruel world thinks of (him)
Whatâs sadder is the world thinks less of (her)
We all should be mortifiedâ¦
I pray we do better in our daughtersâ eyes
VERSE 3
Taught you couldnât do that âcause itâs for (him)
TV showing less real you more (him)
Got raped, your fault, shouldnât lure (him)
Like we ainât got self control, all playing a roll
In violence against her done by (him)
Sad âcause I ainât really care âtil I had (her)
A lot dudes complacent, âcause most are raising their sons
What winner care about the losers when theyâve already won
Whether we talking race or battle of the sexes
Walking in their shoes, most valuable of lessons
Seeing what my daughter gotta carry and itâs heavy
Being black and woman, know we gotta get her ready
Glad I got a Queen by my side to help lead her
Love her more than life but some things I canât teach her
Her foundation must be fortified
We plan to do right in our daughterâs eyes
