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 the final track on Cole’s debut album Cole World: The Sideline Story, due in stores Tuesday.
