Lyrics Babygirl - Gracy Hopkins

Blessing

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

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 whom 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 nigga 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 low-key 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'll 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)

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
You're my creation so you can't fail
You're my creation so you can't fail
