Advice Lyrics

[Intro]
Dear you, whoever you are right now, I got something I was supposed to tell you a long time ago

[Hook] x4
Don't shame your father's name
Don't stop your mother's laughing
Don't take your girl for granted
Don't make these hoes a habit
Don't make your brothers friends
Don't make your haters captains
Of your ship, and promise when you make it, make shit happen

[Verse 1]
It's ironic how empty threats make you full of shit
It's ironic how someone's missed when a bullet hits
It's ironic how old slaves push the newest whips
It's ironic right?
Oh Lord knows, life on earth ain't long enough
For me to right everything wrong with with us
Or make everybody hate and fall in love
I'm so low hydro ain't strong enough
So you could never hit the ball enough
For long enough
To get up in the zone with us
So pour it up, and toast it up, and sing a song with us
So we say
Don't make up where you been
Don't make no art for free
Don't make do with the average
Don't make off like a thief
Is this me rapping to you?
Or God talking to me?
Don't make a million bucks if you can't make no time for me
Don't make up where you been
Don't make no art for free
Don't make do with the average
Don't make a mockery
Is this me rapping to you? Or God talking to me?
Don't make a thousand racks if you can't make no time for me

[Hook] x2
Don't shame your father's name
Don't stop your mother's laughing
Don't take your girl for granted
Don't make these hoes a habit
Don't make your brothers friends
Don't make your haters captains
Of your ship, and promise when you make it, make shit happen

[Verse 2]
Some advice for life
Lend me your ear, this a Tyson fight
Visionary eyes it's like I'm cyclops mines are twice as bright
Y'all be on that bullshit, bison
My drive like my license right?
Bob Barker if you sell your soul, ask me if the price is right
Finding out I'm a kid took some growing up
It's a showdown whenever I'm showing up
Eyelids go down whenever I'm pouring up
I got smart to realize I don't know enough
It's a moment at 4 in the morn' when you know it's all gone, all shut down 'less you open up
Woke up like Folgers with boulders off shoulders
Let go of the fixes 'fore they leave you broken up

[Hook] x4
Don't shame your father's name
Don't stop your mother's laughing
Don't take your girl for granted
Don't make these hoes a habit
Don't make your brothers friends
Don't make your haters captains
Of your ship, and promise when you make it, make shit happen
