Gracy Hopkins
Babygirl
[Hook]
Oh babygirl
I wish I met you way before
I know you came to make me more responsible
The blood in you, what's yours is mine
I guess that dreams come through with time
Because... I'm holding my dream in my arms
You're officially the closest to my heart...

[Verse]
"Treat your wife the same way you'd like men to treat your sisters"
Some things I'd like to get out the way
Some things I'd like to say before you grow up and turn outta control
When I won't be the one filling wardrobes anymore
When you'll have to choose where you must go
I hope you'll keep the values that we've fought for
My blood will be spilling if you pour some of yours in any way
Be careful of who you choose who you make your way with
Your friends has an impact on you‚ and it's not always good
Your father is rich and you never had no problem to eat
Your smile comes from my struggle underneath the wealth
I guess I had to become who I am to you to understand how my dad felt when I stopped school
The final test that I passed too‚ wasn't the one he thought that I had to do
Now he's proud of you‚ 'cause he's proud of me
Damn, I already hate any n***a that will take you to the prom or the cinema
They better treat you good, or I'm killing 'em
Do jail time‚ shoot the other one that called you "hoe" one time cause you didn't want to give your number to him
I lowkey rather have you doing kids to yourself, so you won't have to deal with...
Fuck I'm talking 'bout, wait...
I know you have more than a lot in your plate already
They start‚ and the day they will end it
I'll be the one when your face all rainy
I know it's hard cause you're Hopkins, and you will have to bear the name everywhere but please don't panic
You're my creation, so you can't fail
You're just like your mom, you're a goddess
My mother wasn't sure 'bout the path that I chose when I dropped outta school, but I meant well
So I will trust every choice you will make
Give you all my strength girl as long as it takes
Take over the throne 'cause you're legacy, baby
You're my creation, so you can't fail
You're just like your mom, you're a goddess
(The blood in you, what's yours is mine)
It's a marathon, it's a rally
(I guess that dreams come through with time)
[Outro]
If I die before you're grown, just listen to that song
And remember how much I loved you way before you were even born
I'm joy-crying (because)
I'm holding my dream in my arms
You're officially the closest to my heart...
