It was less father and daughter and more master and slave
All the money mom saved he would blow getting bent
Broke open her piggy bank, stole every cent

from Wax – Mary Lyrics on Rap Genius

Like back in the slave day’s if a slave had gotten something, than the slave would turn that over to the master, this time the master is the father, and the slave’s are mary and her mother.
