(Hey son, let me talk to you for a minute
There's a lot you still have to learn about being a man
I'mma keep it real with you tho
I had alot of the same thoughts in my younger days
Sit down with me for a second - let me holla at you)
Younger days - I'm a man but I'll admit that I still got some childish ways
I'm trying to figure out what life's all about
Guess I'm seeing how things are rolling out
From all the decisions I made
In my younger days
I looked at my son
He said "Dad I love you" - I told him I love him - but never could tell him enough
I gave him a hug and told him I'm proud - wish I had that coming up
Even though it hurts cause I never seen it
Still I give it to him cause I know he needs it
Never would I really want to be the reason
Why - why he never heard nobody ever say he could
Why he never seen a man treat his Mama good
Why he wanted to dream - but never seen nobody do it
I wanted to lead by example
He's looking to me for all the answers
And I'm still trying to find them myself son
I'mma change the game
As a kid - I never seen a man hold it down
Looked at Mama workin all those hours
Her man - all he do - is abuse his power
I told myself I would never be the abusive type
So I grind for the fam - and I do what I can
Pray the Most High always leads me right
If you have love in your heart then you can get respected
If you have hate in your heart then you might get rejected
It's best if you don't like it then you decide to change
Looked in the mirror - that's what I said - in my younger days
Younger days - I'm a man but I'll admit that I still got some childish ways
I'm trying to figure out what life's all about
Guess I'm seeing how things are rolling out
From all the decisions I made
In my younger days
Younger days - I'm a man but I'll admit that I still got some childish ways
I'm trying to figure out what life's all about
Guess I'm seeing how things are rolling out
From all the decisions I made
In my younger days
(Now I know you trying to get out there and do your own thing
But I mean, you gotta enjoy being a kid as long as you can
Man life's got a way of making you grow up soon enough
Real talk - listen to me)
Now I know you wanna be a man
But believe me - be a kid as long as you can
Cause in time you're gonna grow up
You'll only want the pleasure but the pain is gonna show up
And you gotta find a way to make it
You'll make mistakes and you'll have to face them
The people that's always by your side
Aint always ride or die
So you'll have to separate the fake ones - from the real ones - I'm keeping it real son
Real men don't have hoes - they have a real woman
You don't have to be a womanizer - be the sole provider -for your family
Rememer to grind but don't forget your dreams
And don't settle for less cause you are a king
THAT'S REAL TALK - YOU GOT THE BLOOD OF KINGS RUNNING THROUGH YOU
REMEMBER THAT
And as a man you're gonna have to do what you gotta do
Keep it real - yep - that's just a part of you
Don't matter what you say as much as what you do
Just know you'll find yourself in some strange positions
A lot of mess you can get in - if you don't take heed and listen
I'm just wishing that even when you're broke you'll still pay attention
And laziness is the worse drug - don't get addicted
I'm witcha when you're right - but I'll still be here when you're wrong
Just know cause you're gettin older and you got a little money - that don't mean that you're grown
I know that everything don't apply right now - but one day your mind will change
When you look in the eyes of your son and you recall these younger days
Younger days - I'm a man but I'll admit that I still got some childish ways
I'm trying to figure out what life's all about
Guess I'm seeing how things are rolling out
From all the decisions I made
In my younger days
Younger days - I'm a man but I'll admit that I still got some childish ways
I'm trying to figure out what life's all about
Guess I'm seeing how things are rolling out
From all the decisions I made
In my younger days
