Not only do the lyrics depict the enviable bond between Ricky and Kayliyah, but they are also delivered with such a catchy tune. Kayliyah really should consider rapping professionally. Check out some of the cool rap lyrics:

”Hi my name Kayliyah

I’m my daddy’s oldest

He always say he love me

And my daddy show it

(Ricky– He Do!)”

Ricky revealed during their interview that Kayliyah has expressed interest in a music career, but assured that he'd support her no matter what she decides to do.

FATHERS & DAUGHTERS... AND MUSIC

There’s something so delightful about daddy-daughter videos, and we can’t seem to get enough of them. Like Ricky and Kayliyah, Charity Joy and her father Seymore Harrison Jr. also had us grinning from ear to ear with a video of their musical collaboration.

It was even more interesting because Joy wanted to sell her girls scout cookies and Harrison decided to take a unique approach. He and his daughter came up with a remix of Childish Gambino’s “Redbone” and filmed themselves performing it.
