[Chorus: Monique Howard] Do you know The way you've been walking How far will you go Before you turn around and wonder how far you've been walking [Solomon Childs] My Poppa said, My Momma said You stand tall as a man, As a man you stand tall See I was raised right But brothers claim they don't know right from wrong And they don't know wrong from right Twisted as it may sound It's funny how this neighborhood tension pounds Still the same ignorance Egotistic sh** has got us layin each other down We used to hustle hard for turn tables and speakers That's been replaced by cable and beepers That's been replaced by T-Mobile Sidekicks and Michael Jordan sneakers It's also been replaced, By Apple lap tops, Apple Bottom tops Desert Eagles, Please please, My people Snap, Two step your mind out them videos Gotta get them greens in those babies bowls Judgments is come'n, To judge the judges You know the highest judgment above us You covered, No, Then check it Cover me and I'll cover you and think nothin of it [Chorus] [Solomon Childs] I know where people go When they say they go places that they don't go Coast to coast, Through the Alpines Chauffeured by Government Hummers That's what I see for me, And that's what I'm teach mines To see the same for them And listen, You teach your to see the same It'll really help out the game and everyday life we deal with And I ain't sayin it's right, That most steal it But that's the card that they've been dealt And they gonna keep playin it, As long as they keep dealin it Feelin it, So go hard or go home You only live once, You only get the chance to shine once [Chorus 2X] [Outro: Solomon Childs] Yeah, You know I dedicate this to the little boys and girls out there who got dreams Who never let nobody take nothin from you, Try to hold you back And don't stop you, Push you back, Accomplish things, Word
