Yo, I'm just trying to figure it out. I grew up in buildings now I'm in a house
Growing up, planting seeds, growing grass
There's things that I wish I had different in my lane of being this strange
Like a dad who could tell me what to do with the pain of gripping the reins
Breaking my palms as it's pulling away I got no choice but to remain a man
No one to teach me to keep it all in Like being a man from back then
How to own homes and take care of land Get the grass in and protect it from pests
How to not feel like losing when doing your best
From where I've been it doesn't exist I feel like a walking miracle man
I'm gonna learn it however I can I'll just use YouTube and my common sense
Talking to God every second I can
What I'm talking about is how to raise your kids and tell them where to begin
When you grow up in the hood You're not learning this
But how to look out for each other Maybe it's time to teach now
And get to save them A son's first love is his mama
And I understand if it's lost he's a goner Make sure your son gets that
At least he'll be on track Jordan Peterson says if he don't get that
There's no coming back A man don't need no dad
Mom is more important the love She is meant to have
Make a man safe in this, world, with all the cracks
No matter what it is, Someone to comfort him
Believe in him, see in him, Remind him what his greatness is
Being a dad he didn't get for his little kids The husband's mom never had to his mrs him
Make sure his ends meet every direction Keep his word and his family protected
Sends the message that his heart's directed at them
Gives love and affection Good at cleaning the messes
I'm here is the mission to them
What I'm talking about is how to raise your kids and tell them where to begin
When you grow up in the hood You're not learning this
But how to look out for each other, maybe
Time to teach now and get to save them
Yo, learn as much as you can if you never had the teachers
If you never had that love I'll tell you God has a lot of love for you
Lord
