Hey son I wanted to tell you this before my days are done That i might not be here to make you a man And no one else can teach you like daddy can Never call a woman a s*ut Just dont do it no if ands or buts Junior, look a man in his eye So he believes you even when you lie Please help your mother And remember everyone's family everyone's your sister and brother Don't ever go to jail for selling dope Don't ever tie your neck and die from the rope Because your family needs you That's why they smile whenever they see you That's why you're little brother wants to be you I just ask, stay true to you , please do And when you work
Pretend you can't be hurt When it comes to your kids just try (pause) To be the best you can be Because they are your family And when you die All they'll have is memories I hope you'll remember me When die I hope you cry I hope you you look at the sky And ask,”God, Why?” I ask of you took care of the girls Don't let them run off with any guy that buys them pearls Don't let the boys follow the crowd And don't silence them when they play too loud Don't let them too close to the T.V But when I die that's the only they'll see me Please Arron it won't be easy But do it, you'll be fine believe me
