GNiggas is savage, niggas is monstersGmaj7  
Niggas is pimps, niggas is Gplayers
'Til niggas have daughteGmaj7rs, now they precautious
Father Am7forgive me, I'm scared of the karma
'Cause now I see women as somethin' to Dnurture
Not somethin' to conquer
I hope she like Nicki, I'll make her a Gmonster
Not havin' menagesGmaj7, I'm just being silly
I answered the Gdoor, like Will Smith and MartinGmaj7

Matter of fact Am7Marlon, this ain't Meet the Fockers
I'll beat his ass, pray I beat the Dcharges
N.C.
No, daddy don't play, not when it come to they daughters

Don't do no yoga, don't do pilates
Just play piano and stick to karate

Just bein' salty, but niggas is Cnuts
And I am a nigga, I know what they Fmaj7want
I pray that you don't get it all at onceEm7  
Curves D#m7under your dress, Dm7I know it's pervs all on the net

Dm7That's your baby, you love her to death
Now Em7she cuttin' class and D#m7hangin' with friends
You breaDm7k a glass and say it again
She Ccan't comprehend the danger she's in
If Ayou whoop her ass, she move in with him
Then B7he whoop her ass, you go through it again
N.C.
But how you the devil rebukin' the sin?
Let's Gpray we can put this behind us
I Gmaj7swear that these times is the wildest
She got the Cscars, they serve as reminders
Fmaj7Blood still on her pajamas, but Em7yesterday is D#m7dead, yeahDm7  
Moment of silence, Em7next she'll be off to D#m7college and then at the Dm7altar
