(Daddy, what's hope?) I never wanted you with her Always told you from the start Look how they did our people Probably hatred in her heart She got the eyes of the devil Piercin' blue and several Marks in history that proves I'm right She'll never understand your pain And what you feel at night When born a target and panickin' when you see them lights That's why you need one of our queens to push you forward Not her kind to hold you back How many times I had to tell you that? Then you still bring home this fuckin' white girl She ain't allowed up in my house And if we talk 'bout Rodney I'ma probably kick her out Your sister'll probably beat her ass If she use her mouth, the wrong way All that slave shit ain't workin' here today It's like 400 years of overcomin' Thrown away for nothin' For you to run back to the enemy Claimin' you lovin', but f*ck it You do what's right for you But just remember what I said When it's time for you, to Open that bible up It'll tell you what is right for us We were made in God's creation She the only one who fakin' here, no matter what Open your mind Mama Let me tell you what is right for me We were made in his creation You the only one who fakin' But too blind to see Black I never wanted you with him Always told you from the start Never met him But I'm guessin' he a thug inside his heart He got the mind of the Devil Criminal, with record That'll show you that I'm always right Get that abortion if that child ain't comin' out as white A mixed child and black husband'll ruin your life And all the chances Of ever findin' a decent white man to call a spouse I'll disown you if you ever bring a nigga in my house Talkin' 'bout love How you gon' love a nigga who just gon' cheat on you when it's rough? While tarnishin' my bloodline On the news They always got a gun, so I brung mine Just to play it safe But I prefer it if I never meet him face to face And make sure your son don't ever date outside his race Bringin' all them same problems to her family That you're bringin' to me On the other side, I know they agree Open that bible up It'll tell you what is right for us We were made in God's creation He the only one who fakin' here, no matter what Open your mind Daddy Let me tell you what is right for me We were made in his creation You the only one who fakin', but too blind to see White
