100 Rhyme Books

What will be a father's legacy to his child?
Some'll leave money
Some'll leave they name
But I have something much more special that
I'd like to give to you

To my son Isiah
I write this with tears in my eyes
Just some things I wanna say in
Case I meet my demise
You are everything a father could
Ask for in a child
The world stopped for me every
Time I seen your smile
Your laughter like a chapter in
My book of life
I hope the things I'm 'bout
To tell you help
You with the way you look at life
First of all, the streets is no place for you
Stay awake, stay aware and never be
Racism's real, people will have hate for you
And make a face at you cause you're
Mixed with a race or two
But that's their problem and not yours
Go after good choir girls and not whores
Be grateful, remember that you got more
Than most kids
Keep your mouth shut if you not sure
But if you are, then don't you dare cower
Speak your mind, share your power cause papa
Didn't' raise cowards

God forbid but in case I
Don't make it with you
It's a thousand lessons in
Life waiting for you
Listen to the songs, my son
I made 'em for you
A hundred rhyme books sitting in
The basement for you

It's me and you forever even when I'm gone

I know it seems confusing but son, trust this
The cops are corrupted and not to be trusted
School is important, get your degree and all
But it's also important to be young
And free and see it all
Brazilian beaches and London cathedral halls
Camp out in the desert underneath the stars
I want your views to be worldly
I want you to leave a legacy, a path
A vivid story
In order to do that, expand your horizon
Fuck other people
It's not their life to be decided
Love is hard, son, sometimes it's all a game
But you'll chase it forever cause
The heart is kinda strange
And as far as religion
To me it's all the same
God is God no matter what you call his name
If you're not sure what I'd do
Let daddy's music guide you
I'll always be right beside you
