A Father to a Son

From a father to a son!
I am giving you the best of me
To prepare you for your destiny
From a father to a son!
You will be living successfully
And I'm passing on a legacy
It's from a father to a son!
I am giving you the best of me
To prepare you for your destiny
From a father to a son!
You will be living successfully
And I'm passing on a legacy

Baby boy

Uh, From your date of birth on this planet earth
Let me feed to you your immeasurable worth
Number one, you're a boy, my bundle of joy
Once you were born, I was like a kid, who would run to a toy
On Christmas, 'cause this gift is tops on his list
My sentiment of your existence? It fits this
Hey, I'm crazy 'bout the baby You gave me
Lord, the one You knew way before You made me
At times I'm nervous 'cause I don't want to hurt this
Person so priceless you can't be purchased
And turn this jewel to a fool who's worthless
Actin' like a clown, good for nothing but circus
Naw, your destiny's in motion, and I won't reverse this
You won't continue in no generational curses
I'll raise you the way you should go, and you won't desert this
Fulfill your identity and purpose...

From a father to a son!
I am giving you the best of me
To prepare you for your destiny
From a father to a son!
You will be living successfully
And I'm passing on a legacy
From a father to a son!
I am giving you the best of me
To prepare you for your destiny
From a father to a son!
You will be living successfully
And I'm passing on a legacy

Teenager!

You're not another me, you're the one and only you son
A true one, tell me, what you gonna do son?
Don't be a fool son, I know you are your own man
It takes wisdom to grow into a grown man
The wise people end up being the great people
First things first, you gotta fear God and hate evil
Pride come before a fall, now stay humble
Little with peace sure beats great riches with trouble
Son beware of the strange woman
'Cause she'll take you down quicker than a
Crazy and deranged gunman
She's use to makin' mighty men trip
Seduce you with her hips and her flatterin' lips
Don't go when wrongdoers try to entice
Don't take the bait, son, take my advice
You're a young man, and I'm proud of you and impressed
Now take heed, and you'll find success...

From a father to a son!
I am giving you the best of me
To prepare you for your destiny
From a father to a son!
You will be living successfully
And I'm passing on a legacy
From a father to a son!
I am giving you the best of me
To prepare you for your destiny
From a father to a son!
You will be living successfully
And I'm passing on a legacy

Young man!

Successful is where I pray this song will find you
Your failures will never define you, but refine you
Let me remind you of who God made you
Not what you do, but who you are makes you great, dude
I tell ya, you're a whole man, don't be fragmented
Get you a whole woman, son, to add with it
'Cause if you ain't whole, it'll turn into a crappy mess
God makes you happy, she adds to your happiness
Secure yourself in God, don't you sway and teeter
Then you can be a love giver, not a love needer
When it comes to love, you should be the love leader
Like a lady and queen, is how you ought to treat her
For the rest of your life, be prepared to serve her
Completely selfless, put yourself on the backburner
For all of your needs, you need to turn to your Creator
He's your Provider, be His imitator...

From a father to a son!
I am giving you the best of me
To prepare you for your destiny
From a father to a son!
You will be living successfully
And I'm passing on a legacy
From a father to a son!
I am giving you the best of me
To prepare you for your destiny
From a father to a son!
You will be living successfully
And I'm passing on a legacy
From a father to a son!
I am giving you the best of me
To prepare you for your destiny
From a father to a son!
You will be living successfully
And I'm passing on a legacy
From a father to a son!
I am giving you the best of me
To prepare you for your destiny
From a father to a son!
You will be living successfully
And I'm passing on a legacy

Yeah, I love you son
Uh!
