Dear Son

Dear son

You see some friends are vicious

You see most of the world turns blind
When it's a black man on the line
They'll blame it all on crime
So Forget the bag protect your time
If anything gets taken
Be glide you had for the taking
It costs you more to try to get it back
So Just boss up and replace it

Aint no one one-on-ones if yo brothers one

You was born a Pettes take care of the throne
make any room feel right at home
When you make decisions remain strong
Right or wrong you are not alone
Don't need liquor wine pills or weed
Make sure there's no confusion
Only do wrong with a right Mind
Cause men don't make excuses
You can get money in a lot of ways
You Learn the facts you can teach the classes
Be the Pettes of all trades
You Fire the jacks and you can hire the masters
Imma give the cards to my children
But I can't tell you who to deal with
Be careful who you chill with
Only eat with those you make the meals with
It be the toughest ones with a little cheese
Try to claim the block with no deeds
Don't judge just keep yo distance
collect the rent complete your mission
Cause Where I'm from
The broke people get the most money
No telling what they'll do for it
Want to be the leader you got to shoot for it
And These streets
Took way too many people from me
They'll take yo life for some extra cheese
That's why we look both ways before we cross the streets
You see there's always a choice
You can make more Or you spend less
You can be fresh or you Invest
Tell the money where to go
Or wonder where it went

We Don't tense up in life
Never get caught up twice
These are not just raps
