Yo Mister

(How’s your daughter tonight?)
She needs you right now mister
Every thing you taught her
My crazy friend named Cara
When she wants to show love, she tried that stuff with me
It don’t matter when she’s all alone
(How’s your daughter tonight?)
What made her turn out this way, I don’t know, I don’t know
And put her out on the street

Maybe, maybe, maybe she wouldn’t talk so stupid
Yo, mister how’s your daughter? How’s your girl?
Yo, mister how’s your daughter?
Then s-s-she started skipping school
(How’s your daughter tonight?)
You really ought to know, every thing
In her eyes her father was the biggest fool of them all
And I beat her down, there’s no way I could let her stay
Don’t matter when she’s all alone
You really ought to know
Every thing you taught her

And I said and I said and I said
And she was speeding, that’s what she’d say

For every thing you taught her
Yo, mister how’s your daughter?
You really ought to know
After all of us told her, “No”

Yo, mister how’s your daughter?
Yo, mister how’s your daughter?

Then Cara got high to make disappear
‘Cause she ain’t got long to live
He said, “Just like her mama, aha, she shows her body
She ain’t got long to live
But she needs you right now mister

But it’s harder to forgive

S-s-she'd get another spoon ball
That she was only seventeen
Don’t matter when she’s all alone
Cara got hooked up with the wrong kids
Don’t matter when she’s all alone

Now, she’s going no where slow
(How’s your daughter tonight?)

For every thing you taught her
Her papa caught her for the first time
It’s so easy to say, “I love you”
A world full of fools
Cara told me to remind him
Yo, mister how’s your daughter?
If she knew how much she needed this fool today
‘Cause I tried so hard to raise her right

Her father cried when I told him that Cara twice got knocked up

But it’s harder to forgive
He said, “What made her turn out this way”, I don’t know
Yo, mister how’s your daughter?
It’s easy to say, “I love you”
Couldn’t let her stick around “
