MIA X - Daddy lyrics

Whos how love and support to their children

I'd like to say thank you

Cuz I have a very important man in my life

He means the world to me

He helped make into the strong woman I am today

I'm talkin about my Daddy

Verse One:

I think back to the first time I messed up

You knew that I need to be

But you couldn't chastise me

Daddy's little girl

Most precious of all

You loved me more than anything

Your real life babydoll

Bounced me on your knee

Taught me how to throw my set up

Said you ain't got no brothers

Fight dirty

Don't take nothin

Saw you bustin your butt to keep the bills paid

Saw you hustlin for extras

For more pay you made a way

And tried to keep us happy up in the house

Cuz you wasn't tryin to see

Your queen or your princess pout

Doubtin out sometimes

But you tried to hide your pain

And be a tru playa in this white man's game

Never called my mama out of her name

Showed respect

Never put your hands on her

Even when she backed you in a corner

So Iwant to say you are appreciated

And this love song is dedicated to my daddy

Chorus: repeat 2X

Thank you Daddy

I know that I'm blessed

To have a father like you

Cuz you've done your best

Under so much stress in the crazy world

God knows you tried

Even when they got your hands tied

Verse Two:

Remember when I came home seventeen and pregnant

And unexpectedly

But your disappointment never did show

You looked me in my teary eyes

Then you smiled

Put yoru arms around me

Said my baby's giving me a grandchild

Showed my boyfriend love too

Didn't come preachin or beefin

Just said you know what you gotta do

And when he didn't

You didn't rub it in

You just did his part

And tried to heal my young broken heart

I thought the things you said way back for certain

was jus to try and keep me a virgin

But with all the hurtin and the drama I been through

I wish I would have listened to you

Cuz it was all true

Daddy the man who loves me unconditionally

Thru thick and thin

You'll always stand by me (fo sho)

Daddy I love you with all my heart

You're my souljah

My hero

My shining star

Thank you

Chorus: repeat 2X

Verse Three:

I gotta give love to all the real strong brothers

Responsible daddies

Even if you're not with your baby's mothers

Your support

Your love and your time

Helps keep your children in the right frame of mind

And to the single fathers out there

Much respect

I'm a single parent too

So I know where you're at

And where you're coming from baby

But it's gonna get better

Hold your head through the stormy weather

And stand your ground firm

And all my sisters with good men at your side

It sure feels good to see the ??? family rise

I've cried joyful tears

Happy as can be

To see man woman and child

As one family

See the cards are stacked up against us y'all

So we gotta work it out

Can't let em see us fall

But most of all

Thank you God

Cuz for years I had an example of what a real man is

My daddy

Chorus: repeat 2X

Oh I wanna thank you for all you've done for me

I wanna thank you
