Letter To My Unborn Daughter Lyrics by King Joel

i AM

0

Intro:
Yeah
What's your dreams?
What's your fantasies?
I'd like to know
Do dreams Really come true?
Or does fate just happen to coincide with the materialization of our aspirations?
I always sat & wondered
Until i couldn't imagine no more, so I started putting all my dreams in motion
Intro rap:
Yeah
I really dunno how to get this outta my mental
It's a lil short story I'm bout share my memento
Growing as a kid, had a lotta ambition
Now I'm grown & my ambitions gotten way too vicious
Dreams in my sleep, i wish I woke up to em
Day dreaming bout it, like I wish I had em
Almost got lost in the life of mishap
Then i Looked up to the sky like Father forgive me
Yeah I'm playing. I can't be truly sorry
Everything I did was strictly meant for my survival
Either right or wrong I was only tryna get it, learned to play the game of life full of filth u can't judge me
Started with a clean heart, y'all made it fucking dirty
Started with the peace sign, they made me regret it
So i Chewed my index finger, now the sign is fuck peace, holding it up high so the fucking world can feel me
I know I coulda died but I'm Here, I'm fuckin living
Started as a kid hustling just to make a living
Bloody hands with my daily hustle slanging, dealing, moving heavy weight, dodging bullets like im living in the matrix
Hoping everyday that I make it out this hatred
Dreaming every night that I was born to be the greatest
But I got these fakers smiling in my face
Crazy mofuckers always biting on the hands I handed out to feed em
Every good I ever did them, they blew it in my face
I'm looking at the sinners like this shit is a disgrace
All the evil things they did, I took it with a smile, it ain't even hurt at all, mehn that shit just made me better
So to my unborn daughter yeah I'm writing you a letter
I'm working extra hard Just to make sure that you're better
You know nowadays these hoes just be waiting to be saved by a baller, but I'll make sure that you raised up to better
I wish I had some luxuries while living as a kid
I had to fight my way to rack up all the things I did
& I paved the way for you, so things'll come easy, but you gotta live your own life & gotta earn some shit
Looking at my past, yeah I came up kinda fast
All the things I have, are things I wish I had
Never would imagine that my dreams would be reality
& Now Im living good, so pls dont wake me outta this
Interlude:
When I was younger I asked my mom one time
I said "ma, why don't we have all the nice things the other people got?
Like, why don't I have nice shoes & clothes like the other kids have?"
& My momma told me, "son be grateful for what you have & work hard for what you want. In life, Nothing should be handed to you. You always gotta Learn to Earn it"
That's some words of wisdom mehn. Shit
I hear you momma...
VERSE 2:
I took her words of wisdom & I set em in motion
A nigga moved smooth like a wave in oceans
Started making moves of my own
& Just before you know it, success was round the corner
Now my crib is worth about a half a mill I'm good
Send my momma couple thousands every month she's good
Another young nigga I just made it out the hood
Accomplishing the dreams that they said I never could
They hoping I would fall now tell em "Nigga please"
White bitches saying "lemme have this nigga please"
Got em Latin bitches saying "hola papi grande", I'm looking back at em like "baby no comprende."
I know u hoes is our here Always looking for a payday
But I'm just tryna feed my family like that nigga dae dae
I'm snapping on these bitches, yeah I'm losing all my etiquette
They looking at me crazy like they wish that I could care a bit
Smoking on that loud, I'm tripping off the cannabis
Momma always warned me that you hoes outchea is cannibals
I made it all the way to the top, fuck my haters
I'm lacing up my timbs, coz I'll be stomping on a hater
But I ain't even worried bitch, I'm all about that paper
I'm just racking up these stacks for the sake of my daughter
She ain't even here as I'm writing this trifecta
But God knows I'd go to hell & back Just to protect her
My lil son is 2, my lil niece is 8
I wanna have a daughter by the time I'm 28
Ramera looking at me crazy, yeah baby I said it
"I really want a daughter & this shit is no debate."
Everything I got, stemmed from everything I want
Everything I wanted came from everything I dreamed
Now I'm living up my life, this shit is like a dream
& if I'm really dreaming, mehn just let a nigga sleep
Outro:
All my fucking dreams mehn
All my ficking fantasies
I woke up to em
I came up
& there's no knocking me down
Cos I worked my ass off for everything I got
My son coming into this life is what motivated me to go way harder
Now my preparation for my daughter got me stepping up my game by a thousand
I've got way bigger dreams
But in the meantime I'm living my dreams
I love my life
I love my son
This letter's to our unborn daughter
Yeah
