100 Rhyme Books

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
 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 whores
 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
 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
 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
 Fuck 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
 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
 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
