This track is for all the women and daughters out
There that have suffered mental and
Physical abuse by the men in their lives
All the women that had no voice and remained silent
For the sake of their families
Mum this track for you
Annie my little girl I wrote this track for you to
I want you to know that daddy loves you
With all his heart
And will always work towards keeping you safe and protected
At 15 a child bride dad took her young
So daintily she danced so prettily she sung
Cursed the day that he seen her
18 years her senior
Given way cheap no crime
No misdemeanor
Mum lived as a boarder
Nuns kept her in order
With the gospel in her ears like a broken recorder
Inferior to her man she was more like a slave
Exodus 21 taught them how to behave
Forced into marriage
No love no horse no carriage
Sold a dream by her elders
Like a twisted bible passage
They must have known
That the man was a savage
Too young to leave home but that's how poor families managed
So pack your bags say goodbye
You're going to fly in the sky
No more school some new rules
Don't ask questions don't deny
See that man now his is your fam
He says jump you say how high
Sal's your sister please release her
When you miss her close your eyes
We put up with abuse for so long it felt like ever
That's enough
Cut us loose we be gone turn back-never
No more cops no more tears no more axes
No more fear
No more lying to my peers no more shouting
Do you hear
You left him and you brought us up on your own
You fed clothed and educated us
For that I'm forever grateful
I'm a grown man now a father to my daughter
Put here to love her just like a father ought to
So dream big Annie live your life be the author
Go explore your world it has so much to offer
I love my girl that ain't hard to tell
For those dead beat dads y'all can burn in hell
I blame the Torah the Quran and the Bible
Claiming ownership of women
Like a damn Torrens title
You are not second class to a male counterpart
You do not need to ask to step out of the dark
You can go and take a class or a bachelor of art
I will give u a jump start my girl your free at last
Women suffered in the past go compare and contrast
You will notice it real fast
Like a sub-atomic blast
I've seen it happen to the vast girls in sub-Sahara parts
Pakistan and Iraq faces covered like a mask
Mutilated body parts
I ain't lying polygraph
I would die on your behalf you're my baby golden calf
One day I will depart but I swear I cross my heart
That you have always been the one
Matthew John Luke and Mark
You're my little girl Annie
I want you to prosper and make the most out of life
Your ancestors suffered
They were abused beaten
Cheated on treated like second class citizens
Today they live through you Annie
So speak up for yourself
Seek knowledge and independence
Fight for what you believe in
Give back to the community
Serve your country and most importantly baby
Follow your dreams
You and I
We study the stars we watch the moon and wonder
Was there life on mars did it rain
Did it Thunder
Will we terraform the planet
Have a winter and a summer
Some think that earth flat
They couldn't get any dumber
Well it says it in a book one
That was written years ago
If you believe what you are told
You will never live to know
If its answers that you seek
Then question what they preach
If you are meet with hostility
Then turn the other cheek
You are not born in sin
Or infected with a Jin
You know what's right from within
Just like your next in kin
So do what makes you grin
And know from the begin
That you have made it this far an evolutionary win
Ding ding that a knockout blow
Say goodbye to ignorance hello morrow
A new day on the horizon you need know
That the future is yours turn up and show
Give it a go punch above your weight
Go get what's yours don't rely on fate
Some things we can't control that ain't up for debate
But for now go get your deck baby
Lets go skate
Annie Baby You're such as good skater
I'm so proud of you you are so courage's
You keep falling but you get back up
That's what I like about you Baby keep going
