So What Would You Say... ?
If You Had The Chance...
To Speak To... YOURSELF...
In Your Younger Days... ?!?
Would You... ?
Choose To ADVANCE....
Your Mental State... ?
Or Would You Relay... ?
A Way To Earn WEALTH...
So That You Could Change...
How You Live Today... ?!?
Well That Would Indicate....
A LACK of... " Faith "...
In The Choices You've Made...
And Where It Is You Lay...
And WHO It Is You've LAID... !!!!!!
Well Now I Would Say...
" Make LOVE To The Ladies,
BEFORE You Have Babies !
By THIS I Mean...
Take TIME To GLEAN...
What It Is SHE SEES...
As A LOVING Family... !!!
DON'T JUST RUSH IN...
Because of What You THINK...
If You Have DOUBTS...
Then THRASH THEM OUT... !!!!!
Before You Find...
That She's NOT Your Type... !!!
... CUT OUT The Lies... !!!
Let TRUTH DEFINE...
The Path You Find...
To Live Your Life... !!!!!
REMEMBER THAT Some...
WILL... RUN Their GUMS... !!!
To Try To IMPRESS...
When They Have LESS... !!!
LESS Than... YOU...
BELIEVE That's TRUE... !!!
So... ALWAYS Be Gracious...
When Dealing With HATERS... !!!
Cos' You'll Find Their...
.... Brain Status....
Is On A... HIATUS... !!!!!
Because.....
MOST OF Their Thoughts... ?
Come Out of THEIR ****... !!!!!!
MANY A FOOL Will Try To PROVE...
That They've Been Schooled...
In... ALL THAT's Shrewd....
When... ISSUES RULE... !!!
The Way They Move... !!!!!
Some ARE Cool...
BUT Only A FEW... !!!
DON'T Sign Contracts... !!!
To Join With Mans'...
Who CONTROL Gangs...
With SCISSOR Type Hands... !!!
They'll CUT You OFF...
Just Like Bernie MADOFF'...
Once You've Been USED... !!!
DON'T Be Confused... !?!?!
THAT's... FUTURE News... !!!!!
STAY TRUE To YOU... !!!
DON'T Follow Crews... !!!!!!
Lead YOUR OWN Path... !!!
And Follow YOUR HEART... !!!
And ENSURE That You HAVE...
By KNOWING Your Math... !!!!
PROTECT Your Cash... !!!
If You Get To Be A Man...
Who AIN'T POOR Like That... !!!
And Have A Fair Amount...
When HOUNDS SURROUND... !!!
DON'T Beg Steal or Borrow... !!!!
Or Carry Your Sorrow... !!!
Learn To Swallow...
Instead of Wallow...
In Pity Or Tomorrow...
You'll End Up Feeling...
... HOLLOW... !!!!!
Emptiness Leads.......
To The Type of Sprees...
That You DON'T NEED... !!!
LISTEN UP TRUST ME...... !!!!!!!!
I Can See That You Feel...
That People AREN'T Real... !!!!!
Well Here's The Deal... !!!!!
A LOT of People... "conceal"...
Who They REALLY ARE... !!!
So Just Be... " SMART "...
When They EXPOSE Their CARDS... !!!
The TRUTH WILL OUT... !!!
DON'T You EVER Doubt...
That Lies They... "Hide"...
WON'T ONE DAY Find...
Their Way To The LIGHT... !!!!!
Where... " TRUTH and RIGHTS "...
SHINE Like.... SUNLIGHT.... !!!!!
And EXPOSE Their Crimes...
Like.... " C.S.I "....
FORGET THAT Line... !!!!!!!!!
Cos' That's For PRIMETIME...
In The Future Alright... !!!
Don't Be TOO ******* Yourself... !!!
..... Have A LAUGH..... !!!!!
Cos You're STRONGER Than Most...
And That's NO BOAST.... !!!!!
You'll Hear A LOT of Quotes...
That'll ROCK Your Boat.., !!!
But You'll STAY AFLOAT... !!!
So Just REMEMBER And NOTE...
That... Like *******...
EGO's Fry Brains... !!!!!
And Then They Make CLAIMS...
That Are... INSANE... !!?!!
Things REALLY WON'T Change...
When It Comes To RACE... !!!
Son Your BLACK Face...
Will HAVE TO Sustain...
A LOT of IGNORANCE...
It's A Human STAIN...
From Which Some...
... WON'T REFRAIN... !!!
And Sadly WILL Defend...
EVEN When They Have NO CASE... ?!?
DON'T LET Your Anger...
... "CONTROL You"... !!!!!
DON'T **** That Hammer...
Just REFUSE Those Tools...
That... KILLERS USE... !!!!!
USE Your HEAD... !!!
And Try USING A PEN... !!!
Because YOUR Poetic PATENT...
May Well Just Be Your TALENT... !?!
Use It WISELY... Use It NIGHTLY...
Use It Like Your Name's RON ISLEY... !!!
LOVE Your Mother...
Like She LOVES YOU... !!!
DON'T Let ANY SUCKER...
Come Between You Two... !!!
She's Gonna NEED YOU...
MORE THAN You Know... !!!!!
Let Your Father GO.....
And REFUSE To FEUD... !!!
Just Be.... COOL....
And PATIENT TOO... !!!
And NOW Here's The...
... " FINAL THING "...
That I'll Say To YOU... !!!!!
When You Are LOW...
And Feel... Sad And Blue...
It'll Work Out FINE... !!!
RELAX Your Mind... !!!!!
Just LIVE YOUR LIFE..... !!!
Just Like THIS Script...
That Came From THIS...
Speaking To... ME...
In A Time and Space...
Where The Question Would Be...
Now That You Are Face To Face...
With The Virge of YESTERDAY....
… In All HONESTY...
" What Would You Say ? "
As a man who never wanted children, this is I guess, as close as i'll ever get, to having those conversations that parents have with their children, I also found it to be an interesting way to explore, and look back at one's own life too !
