Verse 1: I got a daughter i support her open heartedly it bothers me how fathers be havin children irresponsibly how could i not nurture what i conceived or deprive her, shes my prophecy as i stare in her eyes theres no despair, deception or awareness, except when givin affection shes the water that purifies me more than likely wearing jordans like me as she grows ill expose her to all that ive seen like the island of saint croy where smile and she brings joy she the cover im the line of what survival is based on how i teach her to stay strong and live through wilderness if i instill in her the will to live shell get through it she my first seed, my genesis my last bit of innocence my understanding wisdom brings what knowledge is given i hope to surround her with prominent figures so she can grow to be a positive woman and never doubts that i love her
Chorus: Aint nothing like family, til they gone then u realize how much they meant to you, more than a friend'll do give em their roses while theyre still alive i know the world's understanding me go ahead show that love stop tryin to be a tough guy cuz when they gone youll be saying that you didnt get the chance to say you love em
and you have to live with that for the rest of my life

Chorus
You gave us life, it aint your fault the street corrupted us You raised us right, when them bullies used fuckin with us you made us fight, gave your heart or soul rich or poor, there would always be a pot on the stove you made sure we had a roof over our head and clothes for school and discipline soon as we opposed the rules a hard head made us soft but when we was comin up you gave us advice on what life would have in store for us
All you niggas runnin round out there all wild playin the streets like its goin outta style remember gotta take time out for those who love you they the only ones could live you like noone else could love you and if you think im bullshitting let that time pass let that ass get broke and see which love last blood is thicker than water just remember that and no matter what the problem know they always got my back, ya heard
