Dj Muggs - Foundation lyrics

[Verse 1] When I look you in your eyes I can see my own Straight love manifested in flesh and bone You's a breath of fresh air in this world of sh** You was born to be a soldier don't ever forget Hit back when hit Use force that's effective All these b**hes and women Son, please be selective This is California can't stick your dick in everything We will survive necessarily by any means Let no man ever hold you down or supress you It's the 90's the police just arrest you Disrespect you on occasion take life By the time you come of age they'll probably blast on sight It's a shame they protect them but try to serve us When your neck is on the line stand ground then bust In God we trust but just incase keep it loaded and locked Ready to rock then shake the spot, the Foundation [Verse 2] You came from a long line of k**ers and drug dealers Who forever smoke bud So it's probably in your blood Realize you can only run the streets so long Then the streets run you into the ground then gone It's kinda ruff trying to teach you what's right from wrong Same sh** different day It's the same ol' song If the time ever comes that I meet my match Take control of my a**ets f** startin' from scratch Take care of your mother, keep yourself on track Just cause n***as get behind you don't mean they got your back Beware of the serpent Cause there's a time in life the mothaf**er will strike And try to make you loose sight Don't be a fake mothaf**er tryin' to keep sh** real Fill ca**ettes with idle threats with no guts to k** Son if you ever pull heat then use it If you got a chance to walk away then do it Total domination takes full concentration in all situations A solid foundation(yeah yeah) [Verse 3] You are the foundation Beginning of a new generation I remember hospital hallway pacin' I was anxious as f** to see your face shine Only to find that yours looked like mine So it's like I'm livin' twice at the exact same time In this life you can't press stop Then press rewind Gotta live to the fullest never follow behind no man Have your own plan, expand your mind( expand your mind) Ain't no paper thin game to raise wannabe thugs This is nothing but love Via sattelite Muggs Take heed when it's your turn to bring new life Make sure it's the woman you gonna make your wife Be prepared for the worst, but expect the best No matter where life takes you Come home to the West Survival takes more than just gats and guns That's words to live by From a father to a son Foundation
