J. Cole shares the heartbreaking story of “Daddy’s Little Girl,” who was trained to be a ballerina but ended up taking a different path and becoming an exotic dancer. Gone is the innocence of the wide-eyed little girl who used to practice her ballet skills and now uses those talents in the strip club catering to men. She sheds a tear upon realizing what her life has become.
The powerful song appears as a bonus track on Cole’s debut album Cole World: The Sideline Story, in stores Tuesday.
