| Dedicated to my son, that’s about to be born
|
| So by the time you people hear this record, my son’ll be born
|
| And I gotta teach him about life
|
| Listen
|
| To my little man
|
| You can never have too little plans
|
| Always bring your game direct, cut out the middle man
|
| Life is full of sacrifice, for truth you might have to fight
|
| Someone’ll bring you down
|
| Cause they ain’t livin right
|
| Be sure to use your mind, though
|
| Look for all the signs, yo
|
| Don’t want to make a move too quick and get left behind, yo
|
| Be in command of whatever you encounter
|
| Appreciate your blessings, son, you’ll see what it amounts to
|
| Obtaining your goals, maintainin control
|
| Self-respect helps you to protect your soul
|
| Never give up, always be ready to try
|
| Walk your own walk, and keep your head to the sky
|
| Little thing now here you are
|
| Staring at me with those baby eyes
|
| All you do is sleep, eat, and cry
|
| But one day you’re gonna be askin me why
|
| Everything I know I’m gonna tell you about
|
| Anything I don’t you’ll figure out
|
| Cause living is learnin and learnin is livin
|
| And then you pass it on
|
| And to my home boys, who clearly understand
|
| What it really takes to be a man and what it means to be the head of fam
|
| The ups and downs of life plus the choices we make
|
| Causes to reevaluate directions we take
|
| And being up in the club is mad fun 'til they act dumb
|
| And everyone still packs guns whether nines or mac one-ones
|
| It’s time now for us to seperate the mediocre from the great
|
| Keep all the jokers from the game
|
| I’ve played my position, so why don’t you try to play yours
|
| I’ve made my decision, plus you’re in my prayers
|
| My life is changed now, plus I got a shorty now
|
| Mad responsibilities, it’s like I’m almost forty now
|
| All the young girls wanna swing, my wifey says she wants a ring
|
| I wonder what the next days, are gonna bring
|
| We must live and fight for the right causes and be ready to die
|
| I love you kid, so keep your head to the sky
|
| Baby child did you know
|
| Every since you fell out of the heavens
|
| You make me wanna grow
|
| So I’ll share with you everything
|
| Make little girls and boys grow up to be kings and queens |
