Shine Like My Son |
If ever your travels get lonely |
Your troubled and feel all alone |
Remember virtues I share with you |
And let your life shine like the son |
And this is also goin out |
To all the dawgs locked down everywhere |
Who don’t get a chance (yeah) |
To kick it with they son |
This is for y’all too, come on |
I’ve watched you grow before you walked, since day one |
(You the greatest dad!) and youse the greatest son |
The day will come when you’ll have kids and raise them |
(Come on slow down dad, I’m tryna stay young) |
Well aight, I’ma teach ya how to play and win (huh) |
Follow ya first thoughts and never think again (aight) |
We Made Men from the womb, and you’re a jewel (alright) |
Now I don’t want you to see the things I been through (ha) |
We got haters in life, they’ll try an play you (okay) |
Never get emotional, think, remain cool (alright) |
Follow rules — you’ll have it all, the plane too (aight) |
Last of all (huh) don’t let money change you (yeah) |
If ever your travels get lonely |
Your troubled and feel all alone |
Remember virtues I share with you |
And let your life shine like the son |
I’ma give you answers to ya questions, yup |
Like why it’s important when havin sex to use protection |
You a blessin, and I’ll always guide you |
Not just Iverson, I’m ya role model |
There’s more to life than money; |
morals and values |
And there’s rules in life it’s important you follow |
Like; |
never borrow — touch what ain’t yours, unless you got to |
And help mom with the chores, be responsible |
Never follow, believe -- just watch the things ya father do |
When they see you, they see me |
Can you spit like ya dad? |
Yeah it’s easy — A-B-C, 1−2-3 |
Son of a G, from the B |
Turn the beat up, time to heat up |
Microphones like food I eat 'em |
Time for dinner, I’m a winner |
Y’all can’t stop me, y’all beginners |
If ever your travels get lonely |
Your troubled and feel all alone |
Remember virtues I share with you |
And let your life shine like the sun |
Sometimes moms gets mad, it’s not funny, don’t laugh |
When you’re right okay, when you’re wrong that’s yo' ass |
Not cause I want to, son understand |
Moms could teach you everything, but how to be a man |
Youse a champ, I’m the champion |
(I'm a prince) but I’m the king on the throne |
Let it be known, we gon' shine (uh-huh) |
Check this watch, man ya know the time (aight) |
Time to get mine, oh you didn’t know? |
(what) |
Sit back, check the father/son flow |
(Come on Ray Ray, tell 'em) |
And if ya don’t know, now ya know |
The first, father/son flow… |
Shout out. |
to all the brothers who ain’t here |
Shout out to they’re sons too (be so stroooong) |
Shout out to all the mothers too |
Shout out to all the grandfathers (be so stroooong) |
We gotta keep it all together |
Get this family thing back on, back on track |
Big Ray… Benzino… |
Ray Ray… yo be so strong… |
