[Intro] 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 [Guru] 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 [Chorus: 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 pa** 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 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 [Chorus: amel larrieux] [Amel Larrieux] 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 [Chorus x2: Amel Larrieux]
