What is this song about a girl doing too much blow?

What song am I thinking of about a girl doing a lot of blow (and maybe getting scolded/dumped for it by a guy)?
I don't know how to Google this because I can't remember any of the lyrics or what term it used for cocaine (or if it even mentioned it directly), and I remember it so vaguely that I could be WAY off. But it was something about a guy who kept a bunch of women and gave them cocaine, maybe? I think the guy was supposed to be a pimp or some kind of sugar daddy. And maybe it wasn't that he gave them coke, but that he was scolding one of them for doing coke. I think there was a reference to putting something up your nose, or nose candy. Possibly something about dropping out of school. And MAYBE the guy was called Daddy (???) at some point but I could be making that up. I don't even know if it was a male or female singer, or what genre. I'm gonna guess it was a male, and something R&B-ish. I heard it in 2006. Does anyone know what song this is? Thanks!

This is a long shot, but the '90s rap song "Sometimes I Rhyme Slow" had a storyline with a lot of those elements.

Bigshot by Billy Joel? Obviously not the right time period but I thought I'd throw it out there since you're so fuzzy on the details.

Maybe "White Lines" by Melle Mel? He calls her "Baby," and it definitely has the "get higher"/"don't do it" mixed message. (It was also semi-famously covered by Duran Duran in 1995.)

Cocaine Bill and Morphine Sue? "Oh baby, won't you have a little [sniff] on me, have a [sniff] on me" (although it's an antidrug song in the end)

Best answer: Based on your description I'm almost sure it's Big Girl by Ghostface Killah.

That Sean Mullins song? Lullaby? And yes, I'm embarrassed.

Response by poster: It is totally Big Girl by Ghostface Killah! Thanks so much scose! I'm impressed because my description was not really that accurate.
