So by the time you people
And I gotta teach him about life
You can never have too little plans
Always bring your game direct,
Life is full of sacrifice,
but truth you might have to fight
Someone to bring you down,
cause they ain't living right
Be sure to use your mind though,
look for all the signs yo
Don't wanna make a move too quick
Be in command of whatever
Appreciate your blessings son,
you'll see what it amounts to
Obtaining your goals, maintaining control
helps you to protect your soul
Never give up, always be ready to try
and keep your head to the sky
Waiting and praying, now here you are
Staring at me with those baby eyes
All you do is think, eat, and cry
One day you're gonna be happy,
Everything I know, I'mma tell you about
Anything I don't, you'll figure out
Cause living is learning,
What it really takes to be a man
And what it means to be the head of fam
The ups and downs of life,
And being up in the club is mad fun
Everyone still packs guns
It's time now for us to separate
The mediocre from the great
Keep all the jokers from the gate
So why don't you try to play yours?
Plus you're in my prayers
It's like I'm almost 40 now
All the young girls wanna swing
My wifey say she wants a ring
We must live and fight for right
causes and be ready to die
so keep your head to the sky
Waiting and praying, now here you are
There you meet an old baby child
All you do is sleep, eat and cry
Anything I don't, you'll figure out
Living it, learning it, learning it
Live it and play it, pass it on
Girl, baby child, did you know?
Ever since you fell out of the heavens
So I could share the easy things
So I could make the little girls and boys
Grow up to be kings and queens
Baby, let me tell how I feel
I dare you to meet my baby
Everything I'm learning, learning,
learning, baby, pass it on
The one that you're gonna
Everything I know, I'ma tell you about
Anything I don't, you'll figure out
Living my life, living my life
I won't give it to you, give it to you, yeah
Everything, yeah, everything, yeah,
