(JT Money)
What up G`yea
Father to son, know what it is
What up son, how you feelin`?
It won`t be long before I return in God`s willin`
But in the mean time, do everything grandma tell ya
Follow her words, and I promise you they won`t fail ya
Just be strong and take care of your little sister (...boiiy)
Tell her that I love her and that daddy miss her
You know I love you two, just keep doin` good in school
And remember bein` bad, boy, don`t make you cool
Might make a fool of yourself, or you`ll end up like me
Incarserated and I know you will be s and b
We should be free, my son, you know I wouldn`t lie to you
So make the garden, and these hoes don`t apply to you
Ya heard me boy?
You gotta dedicate your life to God
Cause he`s the one who blessed you from the start and made you smart
I know you smart, that`s why I write you this type of letter
But I shouldn`t worry too much because we raised you better
Me and my momma, and I know that you gonna represent
And thank you for the letters and the pensions that you sent
You made me happy, I was blessed with you when I was young
And we gonna grow up together, father and son, father and son
(JT Hook)
Nobody seperate us that`s a fact
I`m never goin` back to the projects, the black man just stay largest
Down in the hoosy-a-way
It hurt my heart to think that you could end up that way, so I pray
(Chorus)
It hurts me father, seein` your mi-nd can falter
We must be faltered, �cause we pray, here it go-es
When I get out it`s gonna be us, see?
Me, you, and G`jay& Jess, outta the family
At DZ, or wherever else y`all wanna go
I promise y`all, they won`t seperate us no more, not in this life time
Ya know y`all mean the world to me, and nothin` more presious than my boys
and girl to me
Not even me, so when your wrong, I`m correctin` you
Cause if I don`t, It`s as good as negletin` you
Now this the truth, see I only want what`s best for you
And if there`s somethin` you can`t do, I won`t think less of you
Just try your best, I can see you got my ways in you
But I don`t want you goin` through the same things I went through
See I was wild, even when I didn`t have to be
That`s why you always see them people comin` after me
But not no more, you see this change here had to come
I couldn`t pasursize livin` down to my son...not to my son
(JT Hook x2)
(Chorus x2)
Boy, I just love spendin` time with you (that`s right)
When you get older, I might even bust rhymes with you, if you want to
You know, you always make me proud of you (that`s right)
No matter what the situation I`ll go out with you
But I don`t want you, to think that goin` to jail`s cool
Just cause I didn`t, boy you still gotta finish school, don`t be no fool
See I went back and got mine, so if there`s somethin` I wanna do, they can`t
stop mine
You know what I`m talkin` about, the people who make up excuses
Besides entertainment, labour sports, they think we`re useless
But see the truth is in the good and when they puttin`, whip on ya ass
When you get that money fast, you spend that money fast, boy
Everything you think you wanna do, I finally done it
See when I`m gone, everything I own, you gonna want it
And if you decide to settle down with a woman, make sure ya know her
It`s cool to love someone, but don`t be a sucker for her
(JT Hook x2)
(Chorus x2 to fade)
