Title: Shine Like My Son
Artist: Benzino feat. Ray Ray & Kase

Chorus
Whenever your travels get Lonely
You’re troubled and feel all alone
Remember these jewels I share with you
And let your light shine like the sun

I watched you crawl before you walked from day one
You the greatest Dad and you the greatest Son
The day will come when you’ll have kids and raise them
Come on slow down dad I’m trying to stay young
I’m a teach ya how to play an win
Follow your first thoughts and never think again
You’re Made Men from the womb and you’re a jewel
And I don’t want you to see the things I’ve been through
You got haters in life that try to play you
Never get emotional think remain cool
Follow rules you’ll have it all the plain truth
Last but not least don’t let money change you

Chorus

Be so strong!!!

I’m a give you answers to your questions
Like why it’s important when having sex to use protection
You a blessing and I always got you
Not just Iverson – I’m your roll model
There’s more to life than money moral and values
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 the lead
Just watch the things your Father do
When they see you they see me
Can you spit like your Dad?

Yeah it’s easy!!
A-B-C 1-2-3 son of a G from the Bean
Turn the beat up Turn the heat up
Microphones like food I eat ‘em
like my dinna I’m a winner
y’all can’t stop me y’all beginners

And if you don’t know now you know

Chorus

Sometitimes Mom gets mad it ain’t funny don’t laugh
when your right OK when your wriong that’s your ---
not cause I want to son understand Mom’s can teach you everything
but how to be a man you a champ I’m a Champion
I’m a prince But I’m the king on a thrown
Let it be know we gonna shine
check the swatch man you know the time
time to get mine oh you didn’t know
sit back check the father son flow

And if you don’t know now you know

Chorus
