Shine Like My Son

(feat. Ray Ray, Case)

[Benzino]

Yo (oh oh oooh)

Benzino (be so strong)

My lil' 7 year old son (uh-huh)

(Ooooooh) Rayshaun, uhh

This ones for you (be so strong)

[Chorus: Case]

If ever your travels get lonely

Your troubled and feel all alone

Remember virtues I share with you

And let your life shine like the son

[Benzino over Chorus]

And this is also goin out

to all the dawgs locked down everywhere

Who don't get a chance (yeah)

to kick it with they son

This is for y'all too, come on

[Benzino]

I've watched you grow before you walked, since day one

(You the greatest dad!) and youse the greatest son

The day will come when you'll have kids and raise them

(Come on slow down dad, I'm tryna stay young)

Well aight, I'ma teach ya how to play and win (huh)

Follow ya first thoughts and never think again (aight)

We Made Men from the womb, and you're a jewel (alright)

Now I don't want you to see the things I been through (ha)

We got haters in life, they'll try an play you (okay)

Never get emotional, think, remain cool (alright)

Follow rules - you'll have it all, the plane too (aight)

Last of all (huh) don't let money change you (yeah)

[Chorus: Case]

If ever your travels get lonely

(and if ya don't know, now ya know)

Your troubled and feel all alone

Remember virtues I share with you

(come on come on, you too dad)

And let your life shine like the son

[Benzino]

I'ma give you answers to ya questions, yup

Like why it's important when havin sex to use protection

You a blessin, and I'll always guide you

Not just Iverson, I'm ya role model

There's more to life than money; morals and values

And there's rules in life it's important you follow

Like; never borrow - touch what ain't yours, unless you got to

And help mom with the chores, be responsible

Never follow, believe -- just watch the things ya father do

When they see you, they see me

Can you spit like ya dad?

[Ray Ray]

Yeah it's easy - A-B-C, 1-2-3

Son of a G, from the B

Turn the beat up, time to heat up

Microphones like food I eat 'em

Time for dinner, I'm a winner

Y'all can't stop me, y'all beginners

[Chorus: Case]

If ever your travels get lonely

(and if ya don't know, now ya know)

Your troubled and feel all alone

Remember virtues I share with you

And let your life shine like the sun

[Benzino]

Sometimes moms gets mad, it's not funny, don't laugh

When you're right okay, when you're wrong that's yo' ass

Not cause I want to, son understand

Moms could teach you everything, but how to be a man

Youse a champ, I'm the champion

(I'm a prince) but I'm the king on the throne

[Ray Ray]

Let it be known, we gon' shine (uh-huh)

Check this watch, man ya know the time (aight)

Time to get mine, oh you didn't know? (what)

Sit back, check the father/son flow

(Come on Ray Ray, tell 'em)

And if ya don't know, now ya know

[Chorus: Case w/ adlibs - 2X]

[Benzino over chorus + (Ray Ray)]

The first, father/son flow...

Shout out.. to all the brothers who ain't here

Shout out to they're sons too (be so stroooong)

Shout out to all the mothers too

Shout out to all the grandfathers (be so stroooong)

We gotta keep it all together

Get this family thing back on, back on track

Big Ray... Benzino...

Ray Ray... yo be so strong...
