Be proud my child,
do it right, go to school
Do you know how many opportunities are out there
for you?
Technology on the rise,
get involved you can make it.
No excuses, No remorse.
You don't have to take it.
I'm hard, I know sometimes.
Because I have to be.
See I know what your up against,
I'm trying to make you see.
Life is not always, the here and now
it's got curves and bumps ahead
I prepare you, cause I love you
BOY DID YOU HEAR WHAT I JUST SAID!!
My son, My son
Don't rush, Be a kid
Aint nothing you can do, that I aint did
You can be better than me.
I don't wanna see you struggle.
My son, My son
Please stay out of trouble.
You got plenty of time for the girls, the friends,
the weed
No,Take that back, cause clouded heads
they do not acheive
The road that lies ahead,
will illuminate your character.
within you lies a gift,
all that bullshyte can come after.
I know you've seen me struggle.
I can admit wrongs that I've done
But the struggles been for you
My one and only son
My son, don't rush,just be a kid
Aint nothing you can do, that I aint did
I've given you all of me
the best that I can
Yet you still now out there trying
to prove yourself a man?
The best of schools, the best of clothes
made sure you had a home
We've talked about everything,
yet the streets where you still roam?
I love you to no limit
but there's a limit to my patience
You think you a man.Then there's the door!
The streets are out there waitin'!
I told you many times before
even when you were a kid
Aint nothing you can do,that I aint did
I'm always here for you,
each time life shut you down
Your my son no matter what
I'll take that to the ground
My only wish for you,
is that one day you would listen
Remember the things I said to you
and see what you've been missing
I know you're listening now
'cause look what you've done now kid
Lying there, cold and still
You did what I aint did
