Lyrics
Yo, these is lessons to a little brother
And all single mothers
Tryna raise him on your own
Some things you didn?t cover
Or you didn?t know
Cause you was tryna keep a cover
Over his dome
And since I?m in your home
I?m a help you out
I?m a treat him like my own
This world don?t owe you shit
Little nigga here a couple little things you should never forget
Never take what ain?t rightfully yours
A thief is a thief
But don?t sleep on keeping boosters employed
Never wait for a handout
You man up, work a hustle till it pan out
Like a 49er working with his pan out
If you never stand up, you?ll never stand out
And getting stepped on is never what a man ?bout
Never mind what other niggas do
And never say you can?t do what other niggas do
And never ever say you ain?t a nigga too
(Chorus)
Oh, yeah
Never ever never (Repeat 4x)
You never leave too far from your block without your gloc
When you know you got beef knowing beef don?t stop
Never smoke another niggas pot
If you don?t know him well enough to know it?s really pot
Know what he really got
Never keep your head down
If you sad act glad
If you glad act mad
Never wear a frown
Never keep your dough in your wallet
Niggas know you got a wallet know it?s dough in your pocket
They can spot it
Never look a killer dead in his eyes
If you ain?t got the killer instinct to kill him inside
But never bury your pride or you?ll get buried alive
A lot of people still living but they never survived
Never break when you bent out of shape
Never let the left hand know the moves that the right one make
And Ma didn?t raise no pussies
So never ever run back and tell the teacher that another nigga pushed me
(Chorus)
Hey yo, you never keep a lady waiting
And never be impatient
Never be a sucka either
Watch who you caking
Never put your hands on them
If you handle your shit
When you put your foot down, she won?t stand on them
Never let her play the man?s role
All you got in this world is your balls and your word
And if she want ?em, grow ?em
Never sleep with a woman if she mad at you
Nigga you sleep, she got a free grab at you
Keep your rubber close when you want another note
Cause you never know who she fucked the night before
Differentiate between a lady and a ho
A lady stays over
A ho gotta go
And never take her for granted
I hope you ain?t in a jam, but fake a jam
See can she handle it
Never dwell on the bullshit
You put the past in the past
You never know
She might meet you at the pulpit
(Chorus)
