The song “Wear Clean Draws” illustrates a father’s advice towards his daughter. It is able to show the importance of parenthood and the need to provide guidance for one’s child. The lyrics are comical but useful to the minds of adolescents that are growing up. The advice that is given prepares one for the future and allows a child to improve their knowledge of common sense. In addition to the life lessons provided in this hip hop song, there is also an underlying theme over feminism. There are many instances where the father of the song advices his daughter to fight for justice and defend what she feels is right. There is a sense of radical behavior for a female; for one to stand firm against their beliefs and question others who are unjust. This song was motivational and hopeful towards those who may have felt confused. Although the title may seem silly, there is an important message that needs to be learned. It is good for young girls to learn the values of being courageous and bold. It motivates and promotes strength and determination to the minds of female youths. Once these values and life lessons are instilled into the minds of these young girls, they will have the power to persist in the real world and be prepared for the unexpected situations that lie ahead.
