 On " Daughters " , Nas is bewildered at the responsibilities of fatherhood , as he addresses his daughter 's social networking activity and worries about his past undermining his parental authority . Killian Fox of The Observer writes that Nas ' observations on his ex @-@ wife 's " hefty childcare payments " and his 18 @-@ year @-@ old daughter " dating unsuitable men " are resonated by his " recollections of his early years as a Queensbridge hustler – just the kind of unsuitable young man he 's warning his daughter about these days " . " Reach Out " features Mary J. Blige and incorporates the piano loop from Isaac Hayes ' 1970 song " Ike 's Mood " . Its lyrics address Nas ' feeling displaced " when you 're too hood to be in the Hollywood circles , you 're too rich to be in the hood that birthed you " . " You Wouldn 't Understand " addresses life struggles and features a mellow production and neo soul influences . " Back When " has flickering production and mytholigizing lyrics by Nas : " check out the oracle bred by city housing " .
