Song by Lenny Kravitz<br /><br>

Like father, like son<br>

Like father, like son<br>

Like father, like son<br>

<br>

Don't come on so cocksure boy, you can't escape your genes<br>

No point in feeling purer boy, your background intervenes<br>

Listen good and listen straight, you're not the master of your fate<br>

To this you must be reconciled, you'll always be your father's child<br>

At times acclaimed, at times reviled<br>

You'll wind up doing just what I've done<br>

Like father, like son<br>

Like father, like son<br>

<br>

Don't assume your vices get handed down the line<br>

That a parent's blood suffices to condemn the child's design<br>

I've done wrong, I can't deny, but at least I know that I<br>

Shouldn't blame that on my stock, this may come as quite a shock<br>

But I'm no chip off any block, I wouldn't wish those words on anyone<br>

Like father, like son<br>

Like father, like son<br>

<br>

Son, you're nervous, take my hand<br>

All is settled, all is planned<br>

You've got the world at your command<br>

I don't think you understand<br>

<br>

Just have the slave if you must, and be done with her<br>

Don't ever speak of her like that again<br>

<br>

I appreciate too well, the squalor at which you excel<br>

It isn't very hard to tell, evil's a distinctive smell<br>

<br>

From this day on I choose my own way<br>

If I choose to be with Aida, then I will be<br>

And no one, not you, not even the gods can stop me<br>

<br>

He's lost all sense of reason, and why? some foreign slut<br>

Not only is that treason, some doors are slamming shut<br>

Just like me, he's found that flesh can excite but will enmesh<br>

Watch me rid him of this blight, once the harlot's out of sight<br>

Then I think he will see the light<br>

He won't walk back to daddy, he will run<br>

Like father, like son<br>

Like father, like son<br>

Like father, like son<br>

Like father, like son<br>

<br>
