What "Daughters" means to me
April 22, 2009 was not only the day my daughter was born, it's was the day I was reborn. I was 22 years old and I knew that every day of my life was just preparing me for for that one. In one day I learned that I'm not living for myself anymore, I'm living for te most gorgeous thing in the world, I'm living for my daughter Sarah. Listening to nas's new song "Daughters" put me in a transe. I relived every moment I've had with my daughter, from her first steps to first words. I remembered the felling I had when she said "dada" for the first time, I realized that heaven was home with my daughter, and that noting on earth would make me happier than being with my baby girl. Its crazy how Nas has took every emotion I've ever felt for my daughter and wrote it down in one song. I'm not usually so open with my emotions or willing to admit that I've cried but sometimes you just have to let go. I've cried many times over my baby girl, i haven't seen her in almost 2 months since me and her mother split. They moved to Chicago to live with my ex-mother-in-law. I've been grinding day and night to save money so I can get an apartment out there and have my baby with me for the weekends. Then I'll be in heaven again for 2 days of the week. Thanks for listening people.

im too young to even have a daughter, but listening to Nas growin up, its made me realise alot bout God being on my side nd the way he talks about his feelings for his daughter is what i want for my own one day. if i had a daughter i would dedicate every day i was living to her. Dont matter how the momma turns out long as its me nd my babygirl. Im gunna make her life as good as it can be, give her all my love, all my praise, nd ill never let her down. Treat her with the respect she wants. My daughter will have the life i couldnt have. Determination to make her a queen. I would cry for her, die for her nd even wreck a guy for her, but i know God nd i will be watchin over her.

On October 1, 2002 my oldest daughter, Khaliyah Iman was born and I was young (19) straight out of high school just trying to make it. MY husband had been taken away months prior to her birth and I had to be mother and father to her. I had dreams of becoming a chef and attending Pittsberg Culinary Institute with my best friend. All my dreams were placed on hold the moment I found out I was having her. I didn't care about school or anything else @ that moment because I had to be strong for her. My youngest daughter Khayley Iesha was born on September 14, 2008, and she is what some might say is an illegitimate child because she was born outside of my marriage. She came from love @ the end of the day so I have no regrets and both of my daughters are my world. Sons are important too because I just gave birth to my first son, Khalil Nasir ali however daughters must be paid "special" attention all the time. If you dont raise girls right, they will be raised by the street and feel like they need to always look to a man for attention and everything else. Daughters are hard to raise and is probably the hardest job on the planet to maintain but in the end, the results are a beautiful flower blooming into her own woman. and thats the greatest gift of all!
