I just wanna see them grow
Daddy, how could you be so racist?
Daddy, why you gotta be so racist?
Daddy, why you acting so racist?
Just face it, and just take it
Just take it in
She met him when she was ten
And she older now
And now he hold her down
She want to date him, he hates him
Her daddy holding out
But still she’s not old enough to make her own decisions
Every little thing gotta get daddy’s permission
But she kissed him
He didn’t tell her, that he knew from a letter
He got his belt out, the one with the snakeskin leather
He beat her and said you better
You better not see this kid again
I don’t care how young y’all is
If you do one of you’s dead
She looked down, shook her head, then said
Then said
Daddy, how could you be so racist?
Daddy, why you gotta be so racist?
Daddy, why you acting so racist?
Just face it, and just take it
Daddy, how could you be so racist?
Daddy, why you gotta be so racist?
Daddy, why you acting so racist?
Just face it, and just take it
Sit your ass down at this dinner table
You think you grown cause you 18? Really Rachel?
You know what Dad, I really hate you
You don’t like him cause he’s black, Rachel I’m tryna save you
He’s gonna cheat, he’s gonna beat you, might even rape you
Wrong, he loves me, he cares, and he’s very faithful
Uh, goodnight Dad, forget it, and oh yeah thank you
Thank you for being hateful
Shit
Daddy how could you be so racist?
I fucking hate it, can’t fucking take it
Daddy why gotta be so racist?
I fucking hate it, that we related
Daddy, how could you be so racist?
Daddy, why you gotta be so racist?
Daddy, why you acting so racist?
Just face it, and just take it
Drink after drink, one hell of a mixture
Non-stop, still going, brain is gettin’ sicker
Down hill road
He spinning like twisters
Finally got home
Reeking of liquor
Dad I brought him here to see the bigger picture
Are you crazy? In my house? Okay I hear yah
Went to the closet, he shouts, “Got something for you nigga!”
Daddy what are you doing? Stop! You’re not a killer
Stepped in front of him and said, “Daddy look in the mirror.”
Pushed her out the way
Then pulled the trigger (Pow), then pulled the trigger
Pushed her out the way, then pulled the trigger
Daddy how could you be so racist?
I fucking hate it, can’t fucking take it
Daddy why gotta be so racist?
I fucking hate it, that we related
Daddy, how could you be so racist?
Daddy, why you gotta be so racist?
Daddy, why you acting so racist?
Just face it, and just take it
But he survived
He’s still alive
His feelings changed for him, learned to compromise
It’s all good now, no hard feelings
It’s all Gods given
