Snowgoons - 100 Rhyme Books lyrics
[Intro] What will be a father's legacy to his child? Some'll leave money, some'll leave they name But I have something much more special that I'd like to give to you [Verse 1] To my son Isiah, I write this with tears in my eyes Just some things I wanna say in case I meet my demise You are everything a father could ask for in a child The world stopped for me every time I seen your smile Your laughter like a chapter in my book of life I hope the things I'm 'bout to tell you help you with the way you look at life First of all, the streets is no place for you Stay awake, stay aware and never be ( ? ) Racism's real, people will have hate for you And make a face at you cause you're mixed with a race or two But that's their problem and not yours Go after good choir girls and not who*es Be grateful, remember that you got more Than most kids, keep your mouth shut if you not sure But if you are, then don't you dare cower Speak your mind, share your power cause papa didn't' raise cowards [Hook] God forbid but in case I don't make it with you It's a thousand lessons in life waiting for you Listen to the songs, my son, I made 'em for you A hundred rhyme books sitting in the basement for you It's me and you forever Even when I'm gone [Verse 2] I know it seems confusing but son, trust this The cops are corrupted and not to be trusted School is important, get your degree and all But it's also important to be young and free and see it all Brazilian beaches and London cathedral halls Camp out in the desert underneath the stars I want your views to be worldly I want you to leave a legacy, a path, a vivid story In order to do that, expand your horizon f** other people, it's not their life to be decided Love is hard, son, sometimes it's all a game But you'll chase it forever cause the heart is kinda strange And as far as religion, to me it's all the same God is God no matter what you call his name If you're not sure what I'd do, let daddy's music guide you I'll always be right beside you [Hook] x2
