Lyrics

I could try to say that I was never one to run
But I was never one to stay
My daddy never taught me how to knock a motherf*cker
out
I lay in bed and dread the day
Ahead a scrawny kind of kid talkin all this fat
I never told my friends that I was tortured by the fact
That I was in the minority cause where my school was at
South Central Los Angeles wouldn't trade it for the
world
Adams and 32nd more to this man you mention
In it's essence evolved music so how can I forget that
In the first grade, I met that, fell in love and made
that mine
I never regret that when I think about the times
When fat boys wanted to kick my ass for nothing in my
mind
Was stressed daily now it's funny but then
I learned to pray to God because I couldn't tell my
friends
That I was bullied on the block psychologically getting
punked
I never really got punched or jacked for my lunch money
But on the yard like a jailor kept my eyes peeled
Fifth grade on the battlefield, man that shit was real
But on the yard like a jailor kept my eyes peeled
Fifth grade on the battlefield, man that shit was real

I will never run again and when I am a dad
Put my kids on everything that I could never grab
Teach them how to fight because the world is going mad
Teach then how to love because that's all we really
have
Love is number one to give my kids when I'm a dad
Music number two because that's what I'm all about
I kiss them on the forehead when they sit there lookin
sad
Shout out loud I will be there on the bow

I will be there I will be there...
On the bow... on the bow

The children are the future always have and always will
be
Mine will be protected til the ending if it kills me
They will know that daddy loved them with a passion
And put nothing above them even when the world was
crashing
Around us in the end and some would say that's coming
closer
I put my daughter on my shoulders love her til it's
over
A change in consciousness could be the end of what we
know now
Not earthquakes tidal waves and nuclear meltdowns
Try to be positive in the way I live to generate light
So if I bring that life into this world to witness
daylight
The love will carry over from killin off all my selfish
acts
Help one other human being a day to get my bass out of
hell
Well runs dry daily gotta reimburse good beats come
first
I'm crazy in love with my unborn child
Teach them to care then let them run wild

I will be there I will be there...
On the bow... on the bow
Let them run wild...
Let them run wild...
On the bow... on the bow

[Chorus]
