Advice ft. K. Omari Wilkerson Lyrics

I've got a few things I think you need to hear

These are days of violence, and governed by fear

When things seem their darkest, remember me here

And open your mind

You don't have to accept the world as it is

But you gotta know, cos you're living in it

You can change it all, if you're dedicated

And if you're kind

This is not about me

I've been down some roads, seen some things I can't unsee

Those things aren't for your eyes

So listen and be wise

To your father's advice

Always look ahead to the joy in your life

Try not to be cruel, or avoid compromise

Under all that flesh is a heart that abides

So treat it right

Be your own best friend, cos you're stuck with yourself

Don't give up your judgment to nobody else

Set personal boundaries, and try not to tell

Too many lies

This is not about me

I've been down some roads, seen some things I can't unsee

Those things aren't for your eyes

So listen and be wise

To your father's advice

Everybody out there may tell you to change

Sometimes you gotta listen, sometimes you're just strange

Trust yourself to know 'bout the difference between

And you'll be all right

You can be anything that you wanna be

Taking the first step is the way to proceed

Don't you be afraid, child, it ain't easy

But you'll survive

This is not about me

I've been down some roads, seen some things I can't unsee

Those things aren't for your eyes

So listen and be wise

To your father's advice

This is not about me

I've been down some roads, know what makes you unhappy

This is not storytime

So listen and be wise

To your father's advice

Father's advice

Father's advice

Father's advice
