Foundation
Verse 1: When I look you in your eyes I can see my own Straight love manifested in flesh and bone You's a breath of fresh air in this world of shit You was born to be a soldier don't ever forget Hit back when hit Use force that's effective All these bitches and women This is California can't stick your dick in everything Son, please be selective Let no man ever hold you down or supress you We will survive necessarily by any means It's the 90's the police just arrest you, disrespect you on occasion take life By the time you come of age they'll probably blast on sight It's a shame they protect them but try to serve us When your neck is on the line stand ground then bust In God we trust but just incase keep it loaded and locked Then shake the spot Ready to rock The Foundation Verse 2: You came from a long line of killers and drug dealers So it's probably in your blood Who forever smoke bud Realize you can only run the streets so long Then the streets run you into the ground then gone It's kinda ruff trying to teach you what's right from wrong Same shit different day It's the same ol' song If the time ever comes that I meet my match Fuck startin' from scratch Take control of my assets Just cause niggas get behind you don't mean they got your back Take care of your mother Keep yourself on track Beware of the serpent And try to make you loose sight Cause there's a time in life the mothafucker will strike Fill cassettes with idle threats with no guts to kill Don't be a fake mothafucker tryin' to keep shit real Son if you ever pull heat Then use it If you got a chance to walk away Total domination takes full concentration in all situations Then do it A solid foundation Verse 3: You are the foundation I remember hospital hallway pacin' Begining of a new generation I was anxious as fuck to see your face shine Only to find that yours looked like mine So it's like I'm livin' twice at the exact same time In this life you can't press stop Gotta live to the fullest never follow behind no man Then press rewind Have your own plan, expand your mind This is nothing but love Ain't no paper thin game to raise wannabe thugs Take heed when it's your turn to bring new life Make sure it's the woman you gonna make your wife Via sattelite Muggs Be prepared for the worst But expect the best No matter where life takes you Come home to the West Survival takes more than just gats and guns That's words to live by From a father to a son Foundation |
