Straight Talk (Son Shine)

This ain't a lullaby
This is straight talk to ya
This is keeping it real with ya
Gonna teach you right son
Mommy is the right one
Know that I would die for ya
Might have to lie for you
Sooner or later you gone learn to do it better
This ain't a lullaby
This is straight talk to ya
This is keeping it real with ya
Gonna teach you right son

This is the first week, that I'm smiling so genuine
Ain't get a wink of sleep, but I'm still energetic
I'm playing with you son, and they saying you see black and white
Daddy gonna teach you all the colors to the scheme of life
Together we gone live it up, make mistakes and fuck shit up
Treasure every moment that I'm with you cause I love you son
Making sure you got enough
Let you know the woman game is something that you gotta love
In order to control it, that game could eat a man alive
Your mother is the opposite, I weeded through the trash
Found us the perfect woman even if we're ever not together
She was still the best for ya
Never have regret there, mommy is a queen
Cheah
There were others that were good, but not made for me
By the time your 18
I hope you understand this letter

This ain't a lullaby
This is straight talk to ya
This is keeping it real with ya
Gonna teach you right son
Mommy is the right one
Know that I would die for ya
Might have to lie for you
Sooner or later you gone learn to do it better
This ain't a lullaby
This is straight talk to ya
This is keeping it real with ya
Gonna teach you right son

Life is a box of knowledge
Open up the cranium and feed the mind son
Free life, your Christ, meaning you're your own God
Make good choices, you gotta learn to fall
Take it with a grain of salt
Open up the womb and understand you're gonna feel hurt
But pain equals pleasure, builds up your character
Know that I'll protect you as much as I can bro
But somehow you gotta grow, that's something that'll never end
Until we see the end, were growing into better men
Your sister kind of taught me, in one day, that it all can end
And that day in my life was fucking catastrophic
So understand the stress of thinking you wouldn't make it
The day I heard your first breath, made me hate Saitan
Now I kind of trust in God, still keep my distance
Skeptical at all cost, guess that's cause I'm new York

This ain't a lullaby
This is straight talk to ya
This is keeping it real with ya
Gonna teach you right son
Mommy is the right one
Know that I would die for ya
Might have to lie for you
Sooner or later you gone learn to do it better
This ain't a lullaby
This is straight talk to ya
This is keeping it real with ya
Gonna teach you right son

They told me life was gonna change
Wouldn't never be the same
No more off road gotta stay up in my lane
I'm ready here to ride for u, laying down the path
Your future is dependent on my future decisions
So I'm planning better living not meaning Catholicism or Judaism
Know that that's your background
But you are a man, choose who you believe in
Live with better meaning chase away them daemons
Embrace them Angels
The circle that you choose
Might make and mold you
Never be a cookie cutter make your own outline
Life has a thin line of learning how to blind one
Keep an eye open son
Always keep a close friend me I got a few of them
When you understand this you gone recognize em all
Cause they uncles to you now our friends are family
Know that you can trust them all

This ain't a lullaby
This is straight talk to ya
This is keeping it real with ya
Gonna teach you right son
Mommy is the right one
Know that I would die for ya
Might have to lie for you
Sooner or later you gone learn to do it better
This ain't a lullaby
This is straight talk to ya
This is keeping it real with ya
Gonna teach you right son
