 (Ayo, let me hear that KF)
 Might be the realest shit I ever quote (you're so LayZ)
 Yeah
 Letter to my daughter (yeah, yeah)
 I'm just tryna be your father (yeah)

 Ayy
 In the back of the Rolls-Royce, you can't enter with your shoes on
 Finna cop a Rolls-Royce car seat for my newborn
 Baby girl, you're blessed because I know some kids in group home
 Ain't seen you since the week that you was born, miss you in my arms
 Mom be on some complicated shit so I don't see you
 She put the police on me, at the end of the day, it hurt you
 Kinda hurt me too, never let life lessons break you
 Evaluate the mistake and just wait on your breakthrough
 All for you Clover, I turned over a new leaf
 But I get the type of treatment that belong to a deadbeat
 Know that God and the universe be workin' for me
 Seeing you growing up from afar tends to scare me
 Even though shit got rough, I'm still prayin' for your mama
 Hope you get the chance to see my grandpa and my grandma
 'Cause they getting kinda old, and grandpa been getting sick
 So Mariah, if you hear this, can you please complete the wish?
 Please, no pity for a G
 I know I got a daughter that I barely get to see
 It haven't been a couple hours, it's been since the first week
 And lately, I been losing sleep and it's been hard for me to eat
 Last time I tried to see you, went to jail on that same day
 Fightin' two felonies 'bout you and I got another case
 If I shoot in the house that you in, take my breath away
 I never put my hands on no woman, wasn't raised that way
 Ayy, I wanted a child, just to have something to live for
 Now I'm dyin', just to see you, something that I'd kill for
 Tryna be a co-parent turned me into a no-parent
 Feeling like I'm transparent, what I tell your grandparents?
 I'd cut my feet off just to see your first steps
 Bad enough I wasn't in town to see your first breaths
 Might not hear your first words and it's hurtin' me to death
 Every time I try to do right, I get played to the left
 Never take it for granted, shit like changing your Pampers
 You're nothing less than a goddess
 You better not lower your standards
 A nigga call you somethin' else, bet I correct his grammar
 Any question that you got, I promise, I got the answer
 'Nother nigga playing a role that I was given
 The feeling she might be calling him daddy
 Got me the sickest, so I'm trippin'
 If I slid on that boy and got the blicky, yeah, I'm trippin'
 Gotta separate my pride from my feelings
 Please, no pity for a G
 I know I got a daughter that I barely get to see
 It haven't been a couple hours, it's been since the first week
 And lately, I been losing sleep and it's been hard for me to eat
 I can't really call it pain 'cause I know this shit a process
 God give us challenges and see us make some progress
 Ain't nothing from this situation I can say I regret
 Wouldn't even hit a reset, learn something life ain't teach yet
 The walls start to close and this room gettin' smaller
 Laying in this room mama designed for my daughter
 Playing this tune that I designed for the fathers
 That's good fucking hearted but distant from they toddler
 Read books until you go to sleep
 Wake up, cook you something to eat
 Mold you to a baby G, just like your daddy
 Hope that you remember me, 'cause Brylie, you my mini-me
 Your mama my worst enemy, I'm praying she forgive a G
 Tryin' to put me on child support, all the child need is support
 Would've gave you more than child support could ever afford
 Long-term relations from short-term greed
 Just be careful what you pick when you the one that's in need
 Such a big miracle in such a little girl
 Never let them break your spirit in this physical world
 'Cause you make the diamonds shine, more unique than a pearl
 And I knew that you was mine from your smile and your curls
 Letter to my daughter
 I'm just tryna be your father

 They say Black fathers don't matter, they say Black fathers don't care
 But more than anything, I'll always be there
 I love you
