make daddy proud
Blackbear Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What is it with you?
You never sleep alone, girl
You won't listen to me
Won't listen to your home girls
You don't need a man
You say that shit but I see right through
Right through
What is it with you?
Constantly fighting me and lying to me tryin' me
One of these days I'll be done
What is it with you?
You haven't been the same since you got a new man
Changed your hair

Started spending all of his money
Tell me how'd you get so codependent, girl
All of his money (all of his money)
Justify your independence, girl
Tell me how do you cope with it?
How do you sleep with yourself at night?
How do you cope with it?
How do you sleep with yourself at night?

Proud of you, proud of you
Go 'head girl, make daddy proud of you
Spending his money
Proud of you, proud of you
Go shawty, make daddy proud of you
Spending his money, eeh yeah

Tell me what is it with you
Everything disposable
You don't listen to
Deadroses it's Trapsoul and Views now
You never come and see me no more
You never hit me back scared to make your daddy mad
That's for sure
You never came to the crib to get your Jimmy Choo's

Started spending all his money
Tell me how'd you get so codependent, girl
All of his money (all of his money)
Justify your independence, girl
Tell me how do you cope with it?
How do you sleep with yourself at night?
How do you cope with it?
How do you sleep with yourself at night?

Proud of you, proud of you
Go 'head girl, make daddy proud of you
Spending his money
Proud of you, proud of you
Go shawty, make daddy proud of you
Spending his money
Proud of you, proud of you
Go 'head girl, make daddy proud of you
Spending his money
Proud of you, proud of you
Go shawty, make daddy proud of you
Spending his money

What is it with you?
You never sleep alone, girl
You won't listen to me
Won't listen to your home girls
You don't need a man
You say that shit but I see right through
Right through
What is it with you?
Constantly fighting me and lying to me
Tryin' me
One of these days I'll be done
What is it with you?




You haven't been the same since you got a new man, change your hair
Started spending all of his money

Overall Meaning

The song "Make Daddy Proud" by Blackbear is a melancholy reflection on a troubled relationship. The lyrics express a sense of frustration and confusion as the singer tries to understand his partner's behavior. The opening lines, "What is it with you? You never sleep alone, girl," suggest that the singer's partner is not faithful and disregards his concerns. He also questions her friendships, implying that they may have a negative influence on her behavior.


The chorus, "Proud of you, proud of you, go 'head girl, make daddy proud of you, spending his money," has a sarcastic and bitter tone. The singer seems to be mocking his partner's behavior, implying that she is using her new man's money to manipulate him. The repetition of the phrase, "spending his money," highlights the singer's feelings of betrayal.


The second verse continues this theme, with the singer accusing their partner of being "codependent" and asking how she copes with her actions. He also expresses a sense of loss, saying that she doesn't visit him anymore and is afraid to "make your daddy mad." The final lines, "Started spending all his money," reiterate the idea that the partner is using her new man's money to take advantage of him.
