The Game tarafından albümünde söylenen Like Father, Like Son adlı şarkının sözleri.

[Verse 1: The Game]

June 30th, 11:07 I got that call

She 8 centimeters, my lil' man about to fall

Scuffing my Air Forces, running through the hospital hall

Deja vu, like I been here before

I'm feeling reborn, like a Bed-Stuy brethren, my first born

Dre, I'm about to have a bad boy, family in the lobby

See my n.... Church, What Up, s... I left the camcorder in the truck

Running through the maternity ward, out of breath, sweating

I swear to God every minute's starting to feel like a second

I seen Hell staring down the barrel of a Smith & Wesson

My son's ultrasound the closest I ever been to Heaven

Lord forgive me for my sins, I know it's last minute

Put the chronic in the air, a little hash in it

Spread my wings, If only I could fly

Why fight to live homie?, If we only living to die

[Chorus: Busta Rhymes]

I hope you grow up to become that everything you can be

That's all I wanted for you young'n, like Father, like Son

But in the end I hope you only turn out better than me

I hope you know I love you young'n, like Father, like Son

My little man, your day is coming, coming, your day is coming, I tell you

And when it comes, just keep it running, running, just keep it running, I tell you

[Verse 2: The Game]

They say every time somebody die a child is born

So I thank the n.... who gave his life for the birth of my son

11:32, she screaming at the top of her lungs

I'm panicking, nurse yelling for the doctor to come

All I could remember was lamaze class, breathe baby

One (one), two (two), three (three), four (four), I see the head

Doc busting through the door, he between the legs

He see the head, it's my baby boy

11:46, the head out, she screaming, making crazy noise

Pain is love, my stomach folding like a La-Z-Boy

I'm feeling like Mariah Carey, all these butterfly's

Voices singing to me, sound like Teena Marie

I'm calling ....... on tour, Jayo tell ? I just cut the umbilical cord

11:57, a soldier is born, and he's flesh of my flesh, young ? ?

[Chorus: Busta Rhymes]

I hope you grow up to become that everything you can be

That's all I wanted for you young'n, like Father, like Son

But in the end I hope you only turn out better than me

I hope you know I love you young'n, like Father, like Son

My little man, your day is coming, coming, your day is coming, I tell you

And when it comes, just keep it running, running, just keep it running, I tell you

[Verse 3: The Game]

I wanna thank Dr. ? and Nurse Theresa, for bringing my baby boy to life

You birthed a Caesar, And my baby Mama, Aliska

For pushing out a 10-pound, 4-ounce Mini-Me, I still can't believe it

Nose, ears, eyes, chin, just like your Daddy

I die before you grow up and be just like your Daddy, or your Grandfather

Call Uncle ?, tell him I got a son and I ain't even in Harlem

I'm popping Cris with your Godfathers, Baron Davis and D-Mack Darius Rogers

Drop the top on the '71, with my face in the clouds, Lord spare my son

And watch over Aaron Wright, T'Yan and Lil' Pun

Lowriding, banging Ready to Die, track number 1

If I bust 5 times and they never see the sun

My life is a black hole, like the barrel of a gun, one

[Chorus: Busta Rhymes]

I hope you grow up to become that everything you can be

That's all I wanted for you young'n, like Father, like Son

But in the end I hope you only turn out better than me

I hope you know I love you young'n, like Father, like Son

My little man, your day is coming, coming, your day is coming, I tell you

And when it comes, just keep it running, running, just keep it running, I tell you

I hope you grow up to become that everything you can be

That's all I wanted for you young'n, like Father, like Son

But in the end I hope you only turn out better than me

I hope you know I love you young'n, like Father, like Son

My little man, your day is coming, coming, your day is coming, I tell you

And when it comes, just keep it running, running, just keep it running, I tell you

2.Like Father, Like Son (David Cassidy) sözleri

David Cassidy tarafından albümünde söylenen Like Father, Like Son adlı şarkının sözleri.

I can still remember never really knowing
Would it be a kiss or the slamming of a door
Every time I think about the man my father
After all these years it's still a tug of war

I bear his cross and I carry his name
I feel him living in me
The good and the bad, the sinner the saint

Chorus: Like father, like son
From generation to generation
You can pass down the love
Or pass on the hate
The boy's in the man
You what they say
Like father, like son

As I hold you near me I swear I'd never hurt you
I can feel the trust in your tiny hand
Will I shut you out, even though I love you
If I break my promise will you understand?
Try to forgive and accept my mistakes
I will be living in you
The good and the bad, the sinner the saint

Chorus:
Like father, like son
From generation to generation
You can pass down the love
Or pass on the hate
The boy's in the man
You what they say
Like father, like son

I can't live your life for you
Or spare you the pain
Take the best of who I am
And make your own way
Thank about your father
Thank about the man

You bear my cross and you carry my name
I will be living in you
The good and the bad, the sinner and the saint

Chorus:
Like father, like son
From generation to generation
You can pass down the love
Or pass on the hate
The boy's in the man
You what they say
Like father, like son
