Promise Ring

(album: 777: The Resurrection - 2020)

Ya know
Being when there's quarantine I figured I'd take this time to have one of those heart to hearts with my daughter
Milan, come here Milan

How you feeling Milan?
I'm feeling good, dad
Listen, I know you only 8 but it's time we had a conversation
Wait, did I do something bad?
No, not at all, Mimi actually I'm kinda glad
That you understand the importance of honestly
As you become a lady there's something you need to promise me
Anything
Promise me you'll always keep yourself in check
I promise
Promise me you always gon' have self respect
Of course, dad
Promise me if you ever meet a man you want to marry
You tell him that if he violate I'll break his neck
First of all, the last thing on my mind is a boy
Even around little B I get kinda annoyed
I'm a young black queen
I'ma build so many things I won't ever probably have time to destroy
I could grow to be pretty as Halle Berry
I'ma use my intelligence so you don't gotta worry
I ain't gotta worry?
Dad, you ain't gotta worry
Okay
You know I'm keeping this forever, right?

Stay like you are
You are a God, my queen
Don't forget anything
I told you to do
You just be you
That's how you'll find your king
