Mikey Jay - Birthright lyrics

[Verse 1] This one is for the people in the Brier Who had this city on the wire I'm almost 20, I never retire Unless I set the whole thing on fire The people I met four years ago, stay with it Asking me if I won't forget them, I didn't Back when I dated that girl in June I made the move, I got right, it ended soon Due to rumors, all things people would a**ume About me that were never true The other day, I saw my friend raise a boy Now I know it's more than just about Roy This is growing up and college is a part of mine I wouldn't be ready for kids, unless I drop a dime But my eyes opened, I gotta keep the legacy Let my child breathe after the d**h of me Blood and flesh, you're born with a birthright, make it big And grown up to not make the same mistakes that Daddy did And get better the grayer your hair, the wrinkled the skin You're a star, kid, I'll always love you from within And when Momma is down, go be that shoulder Give her a kiss for me, go and hold her If I die, don't cry, look up and wave Finish your breakfast, then go out and play Keep your mind focused on the narrow and straight And obey her rules, kids just gotta behave [Outro] You meet a girl, have a couple of your own Hope she's like your mother, bring her home Sit her at the table, treat her like a Queen When I was your age, this was all a dream (When I was your age, this was all a dream When I was your age, this was all a dream When I was your age, this was all a dream.)
