As you grow up into a lady, it’s my job to teach you the right lessons
How to carry yourself in a respective direction & grow into perfection
I never had my father around, but you won’t know what that’s like
Cause I’m gonna be there way before you arrive & so those tears I won’t have to wipe
I want you to look at your mother, see what being a Woman really means
How to respect yourself & never let a man treat you like you don’t have any dignity
You’ll always be my baby girl, nothing in this world could ever replace that
Always look to the future, don’t you ever for a second look back
You’re gonna meet guys in your life that’s gonna try to break your heart
Do whatever they can to come around & tear you apart
But I’m gonna teach you how to stand strong when life tries to trip you
You’re amazing beyond measure, don’t let a man treat you like you’re see through
The only acceptance you need is from you, that's true indeed
Never let your crown tilt over & never let a man break what you inspire to be
Baby Girl you’re a blessing & I refuse to let a man treat you any less
You got your whole life ahead of you, don’t let these boys cause you any stress
I’m gonna direct in the right path so you’ll never be misleaded
Teach you how to read the fine print, looks can be very deceiving
Never stoop low & use your body just to get attention
If he can’t see you for what you are then that’s a blessing that he’s missing
You’re a Queen in your own right, don’t tolerate bs from no clown
Cause all you need is yourself, you don’t need a man to hold you down
