Noticed my son
Noticing me today
While I was shaving
Became afraid
That he might hurt himself
Tryin to be a "g" just like his daddy shaving
It's not like he'd even be misbehaving
Had to put the razors away
Like the life lessons
That would to soon come
To test my sons essence
Soon he'll be grown
and I don't even wanna throw
My baby's bitty baby clothes away
Wonder if I tought him that its ok to stumble
Its not about how far ya fall...
Its about how hard ya fight the rumble.
Lookin in the mirror at my son
I saw what my father saw
A childs eyes imagining
The silhouette of the man that he could become
Imagine in the mirror now
No reflecting face
No one there to guild the child
Safely through the maze
Maybe he was to lost
To be of any true value to his son
To weak to reflect the king
That the child could become
Well let me tell ya son
Life is a beautiful thing
Every kid has every potential to be a King
If ya don't believe me Prince... then go ask your Queen...
Just a flash away
Soon my sons hair will grow old
And his young skin will grow grey
Seperated only by a flash of time
Father and Son alligned
Lord help him become the mentor
That id be proud to get behind
Many battle scars this boy will earn
Trial is the fire in which this boys innocence will burn
Time will define the rational for all these family lessons learned
Seperated only by a flash of time
Father and Son alligned
He is now me, once folded over seasons of time
Lord help me, help him, become the mentor that i'd be proud to get behind
I believe the real test of any man
Is to blow past self imposed limitations
Sometimes finding that silent voice inside
Can help decide the course of nations
I love you son
Yea I know ya know I do
To me your like a shining ray of grace
In a world of boo.
Although to soon
the world will to soon set challenges to ruin you
Tellin ya straight because your my kin
I pray that i'll be judged
Humble enough
For the ones that I love
To survive the wages of my sin
Seperated only by a flash of time
Father and Son alligned
He is now me, once folded over seasons of time
Lord help me, help him, become the mentor that i'd be proud to get behind
