Adam Terrell - Kung Fu D(Addy)/Play the Man [feat. Brandon Sherrod] Lyrics

To my oldest
Only entertain what's important
And only give your pain to a person if you love them
Give a dang about what's in they purse or they wallet
Instead, be the first to judge em based off where they heart is...
(Okaaayyyy)
No matter the path you take
Go your hardest
And don't be afraid to separate real from fake
That's a requirement
As a leader you gotta be conscious of those in your circle and who you're involved with
A ship never sank from the water outside but what happens when you let the tide in?
Your teachers will say you can be anything in this world, but they are not honest
Cuz you will be no more and no less than what you deserve, this is a promise
There's a inseparable relationship between consequences and causes
And the climb toward your full potential begins when you recognize this
(Alriiighht)
Your most precious asset
That's what time is
And being on time requires no talent
Ask yo white friends
Remember you can learn something from everybody
And this is regardless
Of skin color, position, or title
Knowledge is knowledge
Don't be biased
And don't assume anything prior
Have patience, do your research
And act based off of your findings
Then take yo risks while they hiding
On the safe side where the profit
Is way less than what they invested
Put in what you get out it
We call this chasing lions
Treat the small things like the largest
Cuz the difference lies in the details
If they say otherwise then they lying
The most vile habit of society
Still hasn't changed what's inside of me
Suffer with the same folks I'm vibing with
Same damn folks I ate McDonald's with
Now we eating pasta with the salmon in it
Shrimp and calamari with a side of lemon
Since the day I started, I had one intention
Build a legacy for you and your children
Why else am i living?
Ain't no better feeling
Than the one of giving
When I'm dead and gone
I can't take it with me
So I wrote this song
Knowing all the lessons
Will be carried on
By my first blessing
That's real
In another world I promise I was there and
I laid with ya, prayed with ya while I held ya hand
Please forgive me as I'm learning how to play the man
To my daughter, when your older, ima play this track
It's important that you listen and you understand
Your father loves you baby don't you ever question that
In another world I promise I was there and
I laid with ya, prayed with ya while I held ya hand
Please forgive me as I'm learning how to play the man
To my daughter, when your older, ima play this track
It's important that you listen and you understand
Your father loves you baby don't you ever question that
