It's just what it sounds like, it's just tellin' a story of a boy that didn't and you should learn from him and appreciate ya parents.
Story behind the song
Just hearin' the beat, it sounded like a song that should've been kinda deep, so I just went with the first thing that jumped in my head. So that's where it came from.
Lyrics
Appreciate Your Parents
By Lil Shay
The things kids do, sometimes it breaks my heart
What hurts so bad is how early they start
Precious little angels sayi’n things to sting
A daddy wants to punish but he can’t ‘cause he
Loves him to much to place his hands on him
Only says that he wants him to be his friend
But he doesn’t understand the pain that it will bring
NO he doesn’ t have a clue, but soon he will see
That little boy was only six years old
He was always sayin things to hurt them so
His mama tried so hard to make him happy
But he just wanted to have his way
He didn’t think about his parents feelings
And he didn’t realize how much they loved him
Now you gon’ know his story goes
So brace yourself because here we go
Chorus:
You gotta know your parents brought you here
They desever respect, they don’t need them tears
Don’t be sayin’ things to get them mad
Just yes sir or yes ma’am
You got appreciate your mom and dad
‘Cause you know some people don’t even have that
When you disrespect your parents
You taken’ advantage of what others don’t have
That six year old boy, man he had it so good
Parents that loved him and forever they would
But he didn’t know what a blessing he had
Until his parents were out and their small car smashed
Took the life of his mom and dad
His mom and dad died, and he knew he had been bad
But there was nothing he could do
Sayin’ sorry was too late and sayin’ bye was too
He went to a foster home and cried and cried
He didn’t understand why his parents had to die
He didn’t know why he was so mean inside
Other kids were nice and they’re parents were still alive
He broke down, wishin’ he could turn time around
Chorus:
You gotta know your parents brought you here
They desever respect, they don’t need them tears
Don’t be sayin’ things to get them mad
Just yes sir or yes ma’am
You got appreciate your mom and dad
‘Cause you know some people don’t even have that
When you disrespect your parents
You taken’ advantage of what others don’t have
Little boy talking:
Mommy, daddy I’m sorry I was bad. Please come back
You never know when your parents could go
You never know when it’s your time too so
Appreciate your parents while they’re still with you
Go shopping wit your mom even if it’s for food
Spend time wit your dad
Even if you hate the sport he has
Give them the love and respect they deserve
Show ‘em you love ‘em, and all they messages you heard
If they your hero man let them know
The kids that ain’t got no parents
love they wouldn’t hesitate to show oh no
Chorus:
You gotta know your parents brought you here
They desever respect, they don’t need them tears
Don’t be sayin’ things to get them mad
Just yes sir or yes ma’am
You got appreciate your mom and dad
‘Cause you know some people don’t even have that
When you disrespect your parents
You taken’ advantage of what others don’t have
