Kage - Advice From Dad! (Intro!) Lyrics

Hey son listen
As you continue to move like through this life
And try to come to grips with the direction that you're going to take
I need you to remember a few things
The first thing is to stay true to you always
Always be true to you
You have this gift and the gift that you got ain't like the gift that anybody else got
It's up to you to understand that gift and how to use it to help other people
Everybody wont understand your journey
And from time to time you're going to have some people come and try to box you in
And place their vision of what they want to see for you
Sometimes it's out of love and concern other times it might be out of envy
Either way it's up to you to use your power of discernment to try to figure out which one is which
I remember when we were younger like like you were like six or seven
And we were walking
And somebody stopped us in the aisle at the grocery store and they looked at you like
That young man that young man there's destined for greatness!
And it was flattering at the time but it stuck with me for a minute and I couldn't wrap my head around that idea like
Like how can anyone walk towards something that's already like within us
Greatness is not a destination greatness is what fuels a man's purpose
We are made in God's image and all you need is already been packaged within you
So with that said son keep grounded keep the faith keep your head up keep your circle tight
Nipsey Hussle said it best don't look at your circle and get inspired
You ain't got no circle you got a KAGE!
