PettesBaby One Word No Spaces - Dear Son

It's a couple of things you need to hear 
While I'm still here 
Imma teach you all that I can
I just hope that one day you would understand 
With God and a Moral Compass  
You can go anywhere in life 
Any job any accomplishment 
You can do all things through Christ   
So, when you learn to count, count your blessings 
Imma show you how to be a better Pettes 
Respect all women, that's the next  lesson 
Respect all women that's the next 
Wait
I take that back son listen 
Some of them be
Quick to set you up 
Even when you showing all  love 
It's just us imma keep it real 
People get it how they live 
Respect those that respect themselves
You'll always prevail
You see Everybody got issues 
And everybody got problems 
The best men seek therapy 
To find the best way to resolve them 
You see some kids might tease you 
Some will call you names
I Don't know what to tell you 
Bedda learn how to flame 
But Imma support you  in everything 
And always show you love 
And you can pledge anything
Just as long as it's the Bruhs
 
We Don't tense up in life 
Never get caught up twice 
These are not just raps 
Respect the facts, adapt
We Don't tense up in life
Never get caught up twice 
These are not just raps 
Respect the facts, adapt

They said Friendship is essential 
Your network is your net worth 
Got to Build up yo credentials 
Get your net worth from your network   
If you can make yourself essential 
Nobody can move against you 
Just remain true and just be you 
Can't live off Potential   
See some friends are vicious 
They do anything for the bag 
And these cops ain't no different 
They'll do anything to keep the badge  
You see most of the world turns blind 
When it's a black man on the line 
They'll blame it all on crime 
So Forget the bag, protect your time   
If anything gets taken
Be glide you had for the taking 
It cost you more to try to get it back 
So just boss up and replace it  
Don't get it twisted, let me clarify
It's some stuff, that just can not fly 
If you must fight, we don't notify 
We strike first, like Cobra Kai  
You got to hold yo own you're the oldest one
If you want to get it done, then get it, son 
Ain't no one on ones if yo brothers one  
No one on ones if yo brothers one  
It's family, over everything 
Got a bond like no other
Be willing 
To throw hands 
With yo best friend, for yo brother 

We Don't tense up in life 
Never get caught up twice 
These are not just raps 
Respect the facts, adapt
We Don't tense up in life 
Never get caught up twice 
These are not just raps 
Respect the facts, adapt 

You were born a Pettes, take care of the thrown
Make any room feel right at home 
When you make decisions, remain strong 
Right or wrong you are not alone 
Don't need liquor, wine, pills, or weed
Make sure there's no confusion 
Only do wrong with a Right Mind 
Cause men don't make excuses 
You can get money in a lot of ways 
You learn the facts you can teach the classes 
Be the Pettes of all trades 
You fire the jacks and you can hire the masters
Imma give the cards to my children 
But I can't tell you who to deal with 
Be careful who you chill with 
Only eat with those you make the meals with 
It be the toughest ones with a little cheese
Try to clime the block with no deeds 
Don't judge just keep yo distance 
Collect the rent, complete your mission 
Cause Where I'm from 
The broke people get the most money 
No telling what they'll do for it 
Want to be the leader you got to shoot for it 
These streets
Took way too many people from me 
They'll take yo life for some extra cheese 
That's why we look both ways before we cross the streets 
You see there's always a choice 
You can make more or spend less 
You can be fresh or Invest 
Tell the money where to go
Or wonder where it went 

We Don't tense up in life 
Never get caught up twice 
These are not just raps 
Respect the facts, adapt
We Don't tense up in life 
Never get caught up twice 
These are not just raps 
Respect the facts, adapt

You a Boss 
Your Awesome 
You're get Better when it's tuff 
You You 
You Powerful 
You're more than Enough 
You the Truth 
Your Thoughtful 
More Efficient than the rest 
Can't nobody take yo Smile 
And that's what makes you a Pettes
