Verse 1
When i look you in your eyes i can see my own
straight love manifested in flesh and bone
youand's a breath of fresh air in this world of shit
you was born to be a soldier donand't ever forget
hit back when hit
use force thatand's effective
all these bitches and women
son, please be selective
this is california canand't stick your dick in everything
we will survive necessarily by any means
let no man ever hold you down or supress you
itand's the 90and's the police just arrest you,
disrespect you on occasion take life
by the time you come of age theyand'll probably blast on sight
itand's a shame they protect them but try to serve us
when your neck is on the line stand ground then bust
in god we trust but just incase keep it loaded and locked
ready to rock
then shake the spot
the foundation
Verse 2
You came from a long line of killers and drug dealers
who forever smoke bud
so itand's probably in your blood
realize you can only run the streets so long
then the streets run you into the ground then gone
itand's kinda ruff trying to teach you whatand's right from wrong
same shit different day
itand's the same oland' song
if the time ever comes that i meet my match
take control of my assets
fuck startinand' from scratch
take care of your mother
keep yourself on track
just cause niggas get behind you donand't mean they got your back
beware of the serpent
cause thereand's a time in life the mothafucker will strike
and try to make you loose sight
donand't be a fake mothafucker tryinand' to keep shit real
fill cassettes with idle threats with no guts to kill
son if you ever pull heat
then use it
if you got a chance to walk away
then do it
total domination takes full concentration in all situations
a solid foundation
Verse 3
You are the foundation
begining of a new generation
i remember hospital hallway pacinand'
i was anxious as fuck to see your face shine
only to find that yours looked like mine
so itand's like iand'm livinand' twice at the exact same time
in this life you canand't press stop
then press rewind
gotta live to the fullest never follow behind no man
have your own plan, expand your mind
ainand't no paper thin game to raise wannabe thugs
this is nothing but love
via sattelite muggs
take heed when itand's your turn to bring new life
make sure itand's the woman you gonna make your wife
be prepared for the worst
but expect the best
no matter where life takes you
come home to the west
survival takes more than just gats and guns
thatand's words to live by
from a father to a son
foundation
