Daddy's Money
Brooke Eden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bills piled up at the end of the month took just about every dollar
No silver spoon but the right attitude for gettin' it on my own
I aint ever had daddy's money
Didn't come from the land of milk and honey
Everything I got, I got workin' to the bone, to the bone, to the bone
I ain't takin, I'm makin' my livin'
I got it all honey
But I ain't ever had daddy's money, no
Daddy said you're grown
So I left home the second I turned eighteen
Moved to the city
Livin' on pennies and the hope of the American dream
Now I ain't hatin' on a trust fund baby
I just wasn't that fortunate
I ain't ever had daddy's money
Didn't come from the land of milk and honey
Everything I got, I got workin' to the bone, to the bone, to the bone
I ain't takin, I'm makin' my livin'
What's mine is mine, it ain't ever been given
I got it all honey
But I ain't ever had daddy's money, no
Whoa, this is for the girls, all over the town
Whose daddies don't have it to throw it around
Don't let it hold you up
Don't let it slow you down
I aint ever had daddy's money
Didn't come from the land of milk and honey
Everything I got, I got workin' to the bone, to the bone, to the bone bone bone
I ain't takin', I'm makin' my livin'
What's mine is mine, it ain't ever been given
I got it all honey
But I ain't ever had daddy's money, no
Oh, I ain't ever had daddy's money
I ain't ever had daddy's money, no
In Brooke Eden's song "Daddy's Money," she proudly declares that she did not come from a wealthy background nor did she have her father's financial support. She came from a blue-collar family who had bills to pay, and she had to work hard to earn everything she has. Despite not having the financial advantages that others might have had, Brooke's "right attitude for getting it on [her] own" was what propelled her forward in life. Though she moved out at age eighteen and struggled in the big city, she refused to take the easy way out or let her financial circumstances hold her back.
The song reflects the resilience and independence that Brooke Eden embodies as a person. She's not looking for a handout or a free ride, and she isn't comparing herself to those who did have those experiences. Instead, she notes that everything she has achieved has been earned through her own hard work and determination. The song's message is empowering for young people who may be in the same situation, reminding them that their financial background doesn't define them and that they can make their own way in the world with the right mindset and work ethic.

WOW I really like like Brooke Eden's voice. she is gonna to be a hit I wish I knew the name of the song she does at the opening of the tv show on Too Close To Home. reminds me of Miranda Lambert. I cannot wait to fine her CD I really would buy it rather then downloading it. I think it is sad that everyone is just downloading different musicians rather then buy the album because it helps support different musicians and studio's.
