In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
You just turned eighteen
A week ago
And you want to learn
What you don't know
You're grown up don't need permission
Find out what you've been missin'
It took some time but now you really wanna figure out
Just what it is that all the other
Girls are talkin' 'bout
And It's drivin' your Mama Crazy
Cause Daddy's little girl is now my baby
I think you're ready baby
I think you're ready baby
Come on and get it baby
I think you're
I think you're
You've always followed all the rules
Done just what you're supposed to
Stick the key in the ignition
And light it up
Have a taste of what it's like
To be old enough
Move your body baby
Lemme see you work it!
Lookin' at you
Make me wanna blow a circut!
And it's drivin' your Mama Crazy
Cause Daddy's little girl is now my baby
I think you're ready baby
I think you're ready baby
Come on and get it baby
I think you're
I think you're
I think you're ready baby
(C'mon)
Daddy's little girl is ready baby
(C'mon)
I think you're ready baby
I think you're
I think you're
Tell me girl if I'm mistakin'
All the singles that you're makin'
Brought you to the road you're takin'
So c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, let's go
Girl shake what your Mama gave ya
Shake it like ya tryin' to break it
'Bout to start an earthquake
Boom!
Hey!
I think you're ready baby
I think you're ready baby
Come on and get it baby
I think you're
I think you're
I think you're ready baby
I think you're ready baby
Come on and get it baby
I think you're
I think you're

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
I just now heard of this song on another site. And I think it's repulsive and so rude. This is the "typical guy" people talk about. This song is clearly about sex, and he just wants to get into her pants now that she is of legal age. I'm not going to take these lyrics any other way. I would never date a guy who was like this... and I'd never want my daughter to date a guy like this. I just think it's rude with "daddy's little girl is ready baby"... the lyrics sound like he is pressuring this girl into having sex with him because she is 18 now.
Now.. I could be way off... but that is EXACTLY how it comes off to me. And it disgusted me, because I actually like Jesse McCartney's song "Beautiful Soul", I thought it was so sweet. But then he comes out with this?
i don't think you have the right idea with the song. first of all he doesn't say "daddy's little girl is ready baby" he says "daddy's little girl is now my baby". and second of all he's saying that she's ready to be her own person now that she is of legal age and doesn't have to live by anyone's rules. but that's just my interpretation of it.
this song is hot. sure, it's not as innoncent as beautiful soul, but it's certainly not as forward as into ya.
This song rox lol how come nobody has posted yet? my goodness
Jesse is a bad boy now. This girl just turned 18, and she is free from her fathers rules, so Jesse takes Daddy's ;ittl girl on the ride of her life lol. And also if hes older than her and she turned 18, he can legaly date her , but i dont think thats what the songs about. Or he is taking advantage of this girl for his own pleasures who knows? lol
Its kinda a funny song when u think aobut it
Yeah maybe this song is about sex and yeah he was a disney kid but to you expect him to be 15 and 16 forever... He sung Beatiful Soul when he was 15 i'm sorry but he not going to be that age forever. And if him growing up makes you not a fan anymore then thats a really dumb reason... i love this song and i think its great its shows ageing thats what i love about it the most.
This song disgusts me.
This song is definatly about sex...but I like it. It's fun to dance to. <3
