RICKY'S SONG

Crenshaw and Florence is forbidden

We ain't welcome

That's the wrong way

Hear my warning, It's been written

We ain't welcome

Take the long way

I got some money for yo' mama

Make sure she get it all

I don't wanna have to call

Keep yourself out of any drama

Better lose your pride

Even a king can fall

You learn through me

Don't wanna see you make the same mistake

Take time with love

No, I don't care how many hearts you break

Make sure you pray and thank the Lord for everything He's done

Remember there is still so much you have to overcome

Damn, you in the 11th grade, my lil' **** done made it

Straight A student, ain't it amazing? No breaks

Foot on the pedal, give it some weight, in yo' lane

Turn signal on, ready for change, what do you think?

A wise man coming of age, I'm tickled pink

Seeing you rockin' a bigger stage, I barely blink

But every time I do I meet a new you

A flower adding on a new leaf so beautiful

Heard you and yo' homies was beefin' with legends

They say you might be in deeper than you letting me know

But I ain't believe 'em for a second

And if I'm wrong, you better believe, you better letting it go

Your future couldn't be any brighter, you better know that

I know that we been raising a fighter and they don't want that

But all you gotta worry 'bout is you and yours

If they ask who you do it for

Remember I told ya

Look a man right in his eye

Remember I told ya

Never fight the feeling inside

Remember I told ya

212 will take you home

Remember I told ya

Call me when you make it home

Remember I told ya

You're young but you're still a man

Remember I told ya

I don't trust your lil' friends

Remember I told ya

Be careful when you wear that hoodie

Remember I told ya

Police might—

You learn through me

Don't wanna see you make the same mistake

Take time with love

No, I don't care how many hearts you break

Make sure you pray and thank the Lord for everything He's done

Remember there is still so much you have to overcome
