The Wonder Years

[Produced by Blended Babies] [Hook: Maceo] When I was a snot-nose, my Papa told me "All you got is family, son, soon you’ll see Always hold your Mama’s hand when you’re crossin’ that street" What Papa told me X2 [Verse One: Maceo] Big boys don’t cry Catch you slippin, put a whoopin’ on that backside Papa was a one to let you know where you stand Looked you in the eye, Papa never lied Back when I was younger, sat me on his knee Said this the kind of man you gon' to grow to be A man whose word is stone, always rights his wrongs No matter what the trouble, you got to carry on [Hook] [Verse Two: Chance The Rapper] (I remember what you told me, like) Little Chancellor, pull your pants up Stick and move son, keep your hands up Somebody puts you down? Better stand up Don’t wear no jewelry nigga, them shits is handcuffs Don’t need no back talk, that mean don’t talk back You going back for fall? You plan to fall back? Naw? Cool, Jackson 5, sell CDs in packs of 5 Better rap your heart out rooster boy, cause them streets will eat your ass alive Artist's darkest moments are the farthest from the barbecue Father’s day in barber shops, fishing at the park with you Act right when I’m not with you, still askin’ what I should do Got to watch the throne, because it’s time to blow But I got what I got, I got from you [Hook] [Verse Three: Maceo] Now that I’m a young man, the devil’s haunting me He won’t let me sleep, I see him in my dreams And every day I wake, my soul he tries to take But Papa taught me stay the course and pray for better days Nevermind what they say, be what you about If you are who you say, no need to speak it clout Papa’s love was strong when he held you in his arms Could nothing ever break that bond [Hook]
