SiR – RICKY’S SONG Lyrics

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’ nigga 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
2-12 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 little 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
