Guru: |
|
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 |
|
Amel Larrieux: |
|
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 |
|
Guru: |
|
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 wife 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 |
|
