Kori Thesupreme - Daughters & Sons

If I had a daughter I'd tell her
If I had a son I'd tell em
The fight of your life is over one thing only and that's how you see yourself young fella
Now baby if you win that fight
Then you win everything, however
Shawty if you lose that fight then you kiss the footstool by ya throne forever
Now you could be ya own oppressor
God's home and it's time to know better
If I had a daughter I'd tell her
If I had a son I'd tell em
The fight of your life is over one thing only and that's never gone change
Not never, even if ya momma go off the deep end then we gotta keep this thang together
Uh yea
I got a family not a menagerie, yea uh
Ooooooo-wah

You can have all these things but you can't have these things forever
If you wanna do great things many relationships gone sever, yeah
Oh my god, yeah
You're gonna do great things but these great things take time, yeah
Seeing these people stay the same don't change your mind, yeah
You cannot turn around when they get left behind, yay

My son asked me the other day
Dad
When I grow up,
Will I have an Adams Apple
Like you? Ahaha
I said of course son
But you'll also receive Abraham's Blessing

This is for my daughter I tell her
This is for my son I tell 'em
Once you commit fully to break the curse you gone face every God made weather
Now this is where the strong get measured
And this is where the weak get separated
Stunted by horoscope, father then mother & whipped by The World's displeasure
Now you can be your own umbrella
Cocoon you're a caterpillar
When confronted with extreme contradictions
Stay indifferent to the world ya shifting
They wonder how you got divine permission
But it's confirmed in the fact you saw the vision
Sanctified like a born again Christian
Ride natty ride & blitz them, oooh
Go pass my records eclipse them
Woe if I get in the way of your mission
Right at the top of the mountain stop tripping
Stay out the pipeline to prison
Self-sabotage is the only way weapons formed against you shoot
But without ammunition
They just turn on themselves in derision
Stay on your mountain of Victory
Woah
Where not everybody can go
I got a family not a menagerie, yeah uh
Ooooooo-wah

You can have all these things but you can't have these things forever
If you wanna do great things many relationships gone sever, yeah
Oh my god, yea
You're gonna do great things but these great things take time, yeah
Seeing these people stay the same don't change your mind, yea
You cannot turn around when they get left behind, yay
