Forefathers
Teach me to live
Teach me to die
Teach me to give
Teach me to try
Teach me my all
Teach me my gifts
Teach to live
Teach me to let go
But never settle
I wasn't supposed to have it hard
If you did
Teach me to live
Teach me to die
Teach me to give
Teach me to try
Teach me my all
Teach me my gifts
Teach to live
Teach me to let go
But never settle
I wasn't supposed to have it hard
If you did
I say
At the tender age of seven
When I saw my first body
We ain't helpem out the streets
But I was wondering who shot em'
Was it the game
Was it the fame
Or the pain
Of the rain
That got em'
Showed me the aim
Taught me to shoot
Boy I Bet cha
I can spot em'
It was New Year's Eve
Riding round with uncle B
And several guns in the car
How a nigga gon make it far
If he a shooter
& He's a shooter
Then I'm guessing Imma star
In my own movie one day
And I just gotta play the part
Let's go
Teach me to live
Teach me to die
Teach me to give
Teach me to try
Teach me my all
Teach me my gifts
Teach to live
Teach me to let go
But never settle
I wasn't supposed to have it hard
If you did
Teach me to live
Teach me to die
Teach me to give
Teach me to try
Teach me my all
Teach me my gifts
Teach to live
Teach me to let go
But never settle
I wasn't supposed to have it hard
If you did
Anything I learned
Yeah, I got it on my own
And ya ass should be ashamed
For leaving a son alone
In a world that's too crazy
Can't ever do that to my son
It's even worse for your daughters
I'm just keeping it a hunnit
If I ever cut the chase
Then you know who got me drunk
I can hate cha for the taste
But now I'm quicker to the punch
It's a long field trip
Make sure you pack up a lunch
And bring some extras for ya friends
Who parents ain't feed em nothing
Food for thought
GPS for the lost
It all starts to make sense
Just depends on what you bought
With the cash that you had
A tortured mind was the cost
Let that go Old Man
And know you birthed a boss
For real!
Teach me to live
Teach me to die
Teach me to give
Teach me to try
Teach me my all
Teach me my gifts
Teach to live
Teach me to let go
But never settle
I wasn't supposed to have it hard
If you did
Teach me to live
Teach me to die
Teach me to give
Teach me to try
Teach me my all
Teach me my gifts
Teach to live
Teach me to let go
But never settle
I wasn't supposed to have it hard
If you did
Teach me to die
Teach me to give
Teach me to try
Teach me my all
Teach me my gifts
Teach to live
Teach me to let go
But never settle
I wasn't supposed to have it hard
If you did
Teach me to live
Teach me to die
Teach me to give
Teach me to try
Teach me my all
Teach me my gifts
Teach to live
Teach me to let go
