Guru Guidance Lyrics

Guidance Lyrics

[intro] 

dedicated to my son, that's about to be born 

so by the time you people hear this record, my son'll be born 

and i gotta teach him about life 


[guru] 

listen 

to my little man 

you can never have too little plans 

always bring your game direct, cut out the middle man 

life is full of sacrifice, for truth you might have to fight 

someone'll bring you down 

cause they ain't livin right 

be sure to use your mind, though 

look for all the signs, yo 

don't want to make a move too quick and get left behind, yo 

be in command of whatever you encounter 

appreciate your blessings, son, you'll see what it amounts to 

obtaining your goals, maintainin control 

self-respect helps you to protect your soul 

never give up, always be ready to try 

walk your own walk, and keep your head to the sky 


[chorus: amel larrieux] 

little thing now here you are 

staring at me with those baby eyes 

all you do is sleep, eat, and cry 

but one day you're gonna be askin me why 

everything i know i'm gonna tell you about 

anything i don't you'll figure out 

cause living is learnin and learnin is livin 

and then you pass it on 


[guru] 

and to my home boys, who clearly understand 

what it really takes to be a man and what it means to be the head of fam 

the ups and downs of life plus the choices we make 

causes to reevaluate directions we take 

and being up in the club is mad fun til they act dumb 

and everyone still packs guns whether nines or mac one-ones 

it's time now for us to seperate the mediocre from the great 

keep all the jokers from the game 

i've played my position, so why don't you try to play yours 
 

i've made my decision, plus you're in my prayers 

my life is changed now, plus i got a shorty now 

mad responsibilities, it's like i'm almost forty now 

all the young girls wanna swing, my wifey says she wants a ring 

i wonder what the next days, are gonna bring 

we must live and fight for the right causes and be ready to die 

i love you kid, so keep your head to the sky 


[chorus: amel larrieux] 

little thing now here you are 

staring at me with those baby eyes 

all you do is sleep, eat, and cry 

but one day you're gonna be askin me why 

everything i know i'm gonna tell you about 

anything i don't you'll figure out 

cause living is learnin and learnin is livin 

and then you pass it on 


[amel larrieux] 

baby child did you know 

every since you fell out of the heavens 

you make me wanna grow 

so i'll share with you everything 

make little girls and boys grow up to be kings and queens 


[chorus: amel larrieux] 

little thing now here you are 

staring at me with those baby eyes 

all you do is sleep, eat, and cry 

but one day you're gonna be askin me why 

everything i know i'm gonna tell you about 

anything i don't you'll figure out 

cause living is learnin and learnin is livin 

and then you pass it on 


[chorus: amel larrieux] 

little thing now here you are 

staring at me with those baby eyes 

all you do is sleep, eat, and cry 

but one day you're gonna be askin me why 

everything i know i'm gonna tell you about 

anything i don't you'll figure out 

cause living is learnin and learnin is livin 

and then you pass it on
