I've watched you grow before you walked, since day one

|
The day will come when you'll have kids and raise them
|
(Come on slow down dad, I'm tryna stay young)
|
Well aight, I'ma teach ya how to play and win (huh)
|
Follow ya first thoughts and never think again (aight)
|
We Made Men from the womb, and you're a jewel (alright)
|
Now I don't want you to see the things I been through (ha)
|
We got haters in life, they'll try an play you (okay)
|
Never get emotional, think, remain cool (alright)
|
Follow rules - you'll have it all, the plane too (aight)
|
Last of all (huh) don't let money change you (yeah)

I'ma give you answers to ya questions, yup
|
Like why it's important when havin sex to use protection
|
You a blessin, and I'll always guide you
|
Not just Iverson, I'm ya role model
|
There's more to life than money; morals and values
|
And there's rules in life it's important you follow
|
Like; never borrow - touch what ain't yours, unless you got to
|
And help mom with the chores, be responsible
|
Never follow, believe -- just watch the things ya father do
|
When they see you, they see me
|
Can you spit like ya dad?
|
|
[Ray Ray]
|
Yeah it's easy - A-B-C, 1-2-3
|
Son of a G, from the B
|
Turn the beat up, time to heat up
|
Microphones like food I eat 'em
|
Time for dinner, I'm a winner
|
Y'all can't stop me, y'all beginners
|
|
[Chorus: Case]
|
If ever your travels get lonely
|
(and if ya don't know, now ya know)
|
Your troubled and feel all alone
|
Remember virtues I share with you
|
And let your life shine like the sun
|
|
[Benzino]
|
Sometimes moms gets mad, it's not funny, don't laugh
|
When you're right okay, when you're wrong that's yo' ass
|
Not cause I want to, son understand
|
Moms could teach you everything, but how to be a man
|
Youse a champ, I'm the champion
|
(I'm a prince) but I'm the king on the throne
|
|
[Ray Ray]
|
Let it be known, we gon' shine (uh-huh)
|
Check this watch, man ya know the time (aight)
|
Time to get mine, oh you didn't know? (what)
|
Sit back, check the father/son flow
|
(Come on Ray Ray, tell 'em)
|
And if ya don't know, now ya know
|
|
[Chorus: Case w/ adlibs - 2X]

|
The first, father/son flow...
