[Hook: Pudgee Tha Phat Bastard]
For all
The shorties growing to be the mothers of men, we wanna
Let you know we’re with you from beginning to end. In my
Opinion, couldn’t picture this world without baby girls
Men running wild? Huh, that’d be a crazy world

[Verse 1: Pudgee Tha Phat Bastard]
Ayyo
I be the father of a reason to live. And breaking
Out on your kids? There ain’t no reason you could give. In dwelling
In my neighborhood, there’s lots of single parenthood
Going on, realizing that a blessing was born. The other
Eighty-Five need to proceed with caution. If they
Would have took precautions, there would be no abortions
Opened up her eyes May 6th, 1995
Something in her eyes said, “Daddy, I will survive,” so I
Help her understand ‘bout the struggle and things
Kirk Franklin’s family, she’s the reason “Why I Sing”
“Bring Me Joy” like Mary, and I hope it don’t stop. I thank God
For my child like Shirley Murdock
And the kids that she date probably won’t be able to stand me, but
I’ma be your “Best Friend” just like Brandy, so
You must be out your mind. I’d swim the ocean, cross
The desert, walk across the water, cross the border for
My daughter

[Verse 2: Pudgee Tha Phat Bastard]
I give
My baby books to read so that she be intelligent
Skip the details, be the first female president. She
Brightens my life with her smile. You can’t understand
I’m “A Father To My Child” Ed O.G. style
I sacrifice to fulfill all her wishes
So she ain’t got to ask nobody ‘cause this world is vicious
Raising her so she can survive on her own
When God takes me home, hope that I don’t leave her all alone
It’s your world, baby girl. Anything for you
For realer. Like Caron Wheeler, “I Adore You,” and, yes
I will protect you from the people and stress, God willing
Can’t wait to see you in your Sweet Sixteen dress, won’t rest
‘Til you see success. I’m on your side, baby
I get the truth from you, then I’m with you all the way. I say
You must be out your mind. I’d swim an ocean, cross
The desert, walk across the water, cross the border for
My daughter

[Verse 3: Pudgee Tha Phat Bastard]
So to my little love, I’ll always tell the truth
When you’re ready, we could talk about sex like Dr. Ruth
Explain the rules of the game and how to play to win ‘cause
It’s ridiculous to be promiscuous. Number One:
Tell her never ever to let no man use you
Love ain’t easy to find. Don’t let no man abuse you. Two:
Make sure she knows relationships are more than sex
Trust, love, honestly, and also respect
Yes, giving you love times love. Yes, love, love
You more than the Lord above loves us—trust
Put somebody in their grave for honey I helped create
Every minute I’m ‘wake, I hope there never comes a day
Every father that’s a father knows the way that I feel. You people
Got mothers and sisters, you should know how we feel. It’s real
You must be out your mind. I’d swim an ocean, cross
The desert, walk across the water, cross the border for
My daughter
