lyrics

Sons sit down and look me straight
And listen close to what daddy’s sayin
I’m your guide to this human plane
I’ll carry you with me, I’ll keep you safe
I said son don’t ever change
But don’t dare, don’t you stay the same
Don’t let your pride feed the fires of rage
Know when to fight, when to walk away
Respect your momma, protect her son
Because no one loves you like she has done
Mind your anger and guard your tongue
Because the devil’s kiss is a wicked one
Boys don’t you be afraid
Face your life like a renegade
Love your brother don’t cause no pain
And dare to be a renegade
Guard your mind keep the wolves away
But you’re not a heathen if you don’t pray
They say hate resides in the laps of fools
Keep your temper, don’t lose your coo
Son one day you’ll have bills to pay
But don’t surrender, don’t play it safe
They’ll sell you pills to keep you enslaved,
But boy touch the plant
And you’ll meet the cage
Boys don’t you be afraid
Face your life like a renegade
Love your brother don’t cause no pain
And dare to be renegade
There will come a time when I’m not around
Boys keep me close in your hearts somehow
Listen close to the words I saw
Because your daddy’s just trying to keep you safe
Don’t waste your time on a thing to prove
Just love yourself boy they’ll love you too
Jealousy is a venom son
Like trying to drink from a viper’s tongue
