Dear daughter Here’s my advice To guide you in your future... Stay pure... No I’m not just saying it Because it’s the “Parent” thing to say No I’m not just saying it Because premarital *** Isn’t ok... No I’m not just saying it Because you are my one and only Baby girl I’m saying it Because purity Destroys darkness In a filthy cruel world Keep the potency Of your innocence Tuck between your shrine If he doesn’t commit Tell him to step behind A queen in the making An angel in disguise An ezer for a real man Who wants to own his light... Dear daughter Here’s my advice To guide you in your future Working for the man Is not in your plan And I wish I learned this sooner You are strong, black and gifted You are the backbone of this land Don’t let this world profit Off the hard work of your hands Start your business with integrity And never sell yourself short I never want you to Slave like me I want you to know self worth And when they try to tell you Your dreams won’t it... And they make you want to cry Tell them... I don’t dream I promise
