My Girls
Inspired by Sammy G to write lyrics that no one else was rapping about, Dai (a.k.a. Truemcee) rose to the challenge and decided to counteract the gangsta rap/garage culture's obsession with producing tracks that belittle and disrespect women, by writing one about to thank God for 3 girls that have literally changed his life - his mum, wife and daughter.

The verses are written as personal letters while the chorus is a prayer of thanks to God. However, it's the simple words that end the track that are probably the most special part of the track.

Lyrics

My girls mean the world to me
My mother would have never took a turn from me
And my sweet bride's ever by my side with me
And my baby girl - I'd die for she!
Oh gosh God that gift you give's
A life full of love that I've gotta live
Got grace for my girls that I gotta give
So blessed by what you blessed me with!

Yes ma words flow straight from my heart
Got so much to say don't know where to start.
In so many ways you blesses me ah
Just thank you for loving me with the love of God.
For keeping me together when I coulda fell apart
Keeping me in prayer when my heart was hard
For keeping on keeping on when I was kicking off
Just thank you for being who you are

You're me hero for the grace you displayed
When the cancer came and tried to take you away.
No fear in your face as you faced the grave
Cos your faith's in Christ who's strong to save.
And your faith's not fake cos your faith remained
You could face the foe and embrace the pain
Even in the shadow of the darkest day
You showed life is Christ and to die is gain! So...

My girls mean the world to me
My mother would have never took a turn from me
And my sweet bride's ever by my side with me
And my baby girl - I'd die for she!
Oh gosh God that gift you give's
A life full of love that I've gotta live
Got grace for my girls that I gotta give
So blessed by what you blessed me with!

Yes Shel - just buzzin you're my wife
You're my best mate, soul mate, love of my life
You're a jewel that I wanna just hold so tight
Gift of God Ima treat you right cos
I made a vow I'm not breaking it
I love you and you know I'm not faking it
It's the real thing no imitating it
We're united tight in Christ no mistaking it

So Ima just keep stating this
Cos I see God's hand so blatant it's
What lifted me out of a skanky pit
Put your hand in mine and it's a perfect fit
So Ima love you the Jesus way -
Unconditional, sacrificial agape
I got your back and Ima lead the way
But I'm by your side girl I'm here to stay. Yes...

My girls mean the world to me
My mother would have never took a turn from me
And my sweet bride's ever by my side with me
And my baby girl - I'd die for she!
Oh gosh God that gift you give's
A life full of love that I've gotta live
Got grace for my girls that I gotta give
So blessed by what you blessed me with!

To my beautiful Baby girl - Oh my days
I love you so much in so many ways
When I first saw your face I was blown away by pure grace
I just had to pray:
"God I can't believe you'd trust she to me
Make me the man she needs me to be
I aint got what it takes to do this properly
But I want her growing up seeing Christ in me"

Princess - you're my soldier of light
I Pray you'd shine bright with the pure light of Christ
Yo like a shot I'd give my life for your life
Cos that's like what the love of Christ is like
And I recite these lyrics as a prayer for you
I love you so deep and I'm there for you
And if any man ever wanna mess with you
They gotta step through me and through Jesus too cos...

My girls mean the world to me
My mother would have never took a turn from me
And my sweet bride's ever by my side with me
And my baby girl - I'd die for she!
Oh gosh God that gift you gives
A life full of love that I've gotta live
Got grace for my girls that I gotta give
So blessed by what you blessed me with!
