Joshua Porter - Advice lyrics

[Intro] Dear you, whoever you are right now, I got something I was supposed to tell you a long time ago [Hook] x4 Don't shame your father's name Don't stop your mother's laughing Don't take your girl for granted Don't make these hoes a habit Don't make your brothers friends Don't make your haters captains Of your ship, and promise when you make it, make sh** happen [Verse 1] It's ironic how empty threats make you full of sh** It's ironic how someone's missed when a bullet hits It's ironic how old slaves push the newest whips It's ironic right? Oh Lord knows, life on earth ain't long enough For me to right everything wrong with with us Or make everybody hate and fall in love I'm so low hydro ain't strong enough So you could never hit the ball enough For long enough To get up in the zone with us So pour it up, and toast it up, and sing a song with us So we say Don't make up where you been Don't make no art for free Don't make do with the average Don't make off like a thief Is this me rapping to you? Or God talking to me? Don't make a million bucks if you can't make no time for me Don't make up where you been Don't make no art for free Don't make do with the average Don't make a mockery Is this me rapping to you? Or God talking to me? Don't make a thousand racks if you can't make no time for me [Hook] x2 Don't shame your father's name Don't stop your mother's laughing Don't take your girl for granted Don't make these hoes a habit Don't make your brothers friends Don't make your haters captains Of your ship, and promise when you make it, make sh** happen [Verse 2] Some advice for life Lend me your ear, this a Tyson fight Visionary eyes it's like I'm cyclops mines are twice as bright Y'all be on that bullsh**, bison My drive like my license right? Bob Barker if you sell your soul, ask me if the price is right Finding out I'm a kid took some growing up It's a showdown whenever I'm showing up Eyelids go down whenever I'm pouring up I got smart to realize I don't know enough It's a moment at 4 in the morn' when you know it's all gone, all shut down 'less you open up Woke up like Folgers with boulders off shoulders Let go of the fixes 'fore they leave you broken up [Hook] x4 Don't shame your father's name Don't stop your mother's laughing Don't take your girl for granted Don't make these hoes a habit Don't make your brothers friends Don't make your haters captains Of your ship, and promise when you make it, make sh** happen
