If
a father could do one thing to make the world a better place for his
newborn daughter, what do you think it would be. World peace? Safer
streets? Financial security? In the case of rapper and business mogul,
Jay-Z since security and finances aren’t pressing issues for him and his
family, and world peace is out of his control ther is a small change he
can make that would have far reaching impact — stop using the word
“b—-.” Jay-Z is all to well aware of the influence his musics and his
lyrics have on the actions and attitudes of youth here and over seas.
Check out Jigga’s letter to Blue Ivy Carter, he and wife Beyonce’s
brand new baby girl.
Before I got in the game, made a change, and got rich,
I didn’t think hard about using the word B—-.
I rapped, I flipped it, I sold it, I lived it
now with my daughter in this world
I curse those that give it.
I never realized while on the fast track
that I’d give riddance to the word bitch, to leave her innocence in tact.
No man will degrade her, or call her out her name
the women won’t despise her and call her the same.
I know it’s gonna miss me
cuz we been together like Nike Airs and crisp tees
when we all used to hang out front
singing 99 problems but a lady ain’t one.
Excuse me miss, can I be your mister
cuz I can tell the difference from a little girl and a sister,
She never grew up, her father left her alone
I promise not to talk like we used to
until Kingdom Come.
I’m so focused on your future,
The degradation has passed
I wish you wealth, health, and insight
forever young you may pass.
Blue Ivy Carter, my angel
