Game Like Father, Like Son Lyrics

Like Father, Like Son Lyrics

June 30th, 11:07 I got that call

She 8 centimeters, my li'l man 'bout to fall

Scuffing my Air Forces, running through the hospital hall

Deja vu, like I been here before

I'm feeling reborn, like a Bed-Stuy brethren, my first born

Dre, I'm about to have a bad boy, family in the lobby

See my nigga Church, what Up

Shit, I left the camcorder in the truck



Runnin' through the maternity ward, out of breath, sweatin'

I swear to God every minute's starting to feel like a second

I seen Hell starin' down the barrel of a Smith and Wesson

My son's ultrasound the closest I ever been to Heaven

Lord forgive me for my sins, I know it's last minute

Put the chronic in the air, a little hash in it

Spread my wings, If only I could fly

Why fight to live, homie, If we only livin' to die



I hope you grow up to become that everythin' you can be

That's all I wanted for you, young'n, like father, like son

But in the end I hope you only turn out better than me

I hope you know I love you, young'n, like father, like son

My little man, your day is comin', comin', your day is comin'

I tell you, and when it comes, just keep it runnin', runnin'

Just keep it runnin', I tell you



They say every time somebody die a child is born

So I thank the nigga who gave his life for the birth of my son

11:32, she screamin' at the top of her lungs

I'm panicking, nurse yellin' for the doctor to come

All I could remember was lamaze class, breathe baby

One, two, three, four



I see the head, Doc bustin' through the door, he between the legs

He see the head, it's my baby boy

11:46, the head out, she screamin', making crazy noise

Pain is love, my stomach foldin' like a lazy boy

I'm feelin' like Mariah Carey, all these butterfly's

Voices singin' to me, sound like Teena Marie

I'm callin' niggas on tour, Jayo, tell Spiz I just cut the umbilical cord

11:57, a soldier is born, and he's flesh of my flesh, young Harlem Karan



I hope you grow up to become that everythin' you can be

That's all I wanted for you, young'n, like father, like son

But in the end I hope you only turn out better than me

I hope you know I love you, young'n, like father, like son

My little man, your day is comin', comin', your day is comin'

I tell you, and when it comes, just keep it runnin', runnin'

Just keep it runnin', I tell you



I wanna thank Dr. Af and Nurse Theresa

For bringin' my baby boy to life, you birthed a Caesar

And my baby's mama, Aliska

For pushin' out a 10-pound, 4-ounce mini me, I still can't believe it

Nose, ears, eyes, chin, just like your Daddy

I die before you grow up and be just like your Daddy

Or your Grandfather, call Uncle Zip

Tell him I got a son and I ain't even in Harlem



I'm popping Cris with your Godfathers

Baron Davis and 'D-Mack', Darius Rogers, drop the top on the '71

With my face in the clouds, Lord, spare my son

And watch over Aaron Wright, Tian and Li'l Pun

Lowridin', bangin', ready to die, track number 1

If I bust 5 times and they never see the sun

My life is a black hole, like the barrel of a gun, one



I hope you grow up to become that everythin' you can be

That's all I wanted for you, young'n, like father, like son

But in the end I hope you only turn out better than me

I hope you know I love you, young'n, like father, like son

My little man, your day is comin', comin', your day is comin'

I tell you, and when it comes, just keep it runnin', runnin'

Just keep it runnin', I tell you



I hope you grow up to become that everythin' you can be

That's all I wanted for you, young'n, like father, like son

But in the end I hope you only turn out better than me

I hope you know I love you, young'n, like father, like son

My little man, your day is comin', comin', your day is comin'

I tell you, and when it comes, just keep it runnin', runnin'

Just keep it runnin', I tell you
