Son
Son, I see you being strong
Doesn't pay the cost
Doesn't hide the loss
Should I stand back like my dad did
A lost boy should I repeat it?
Tell you my truth not that you need it
Take the blows and stay undefeated
School is a jungle of fools FORGET IT
Thinking cruel is cool anti smeitic and sexist
Pathetic white privileged fools they don't get it
Like you do - that's your voodoo
Navigating two homes like you own them
Prove your point everytime you show them
Broke your heart in two and you cloned it
To double down the love you'll never be lonely
Son, always building bridges
Carry the weight
All the spans and distances
You say you're alright - are you alright?
You say you're fine - I'm not sure you're fine
My son
Why do people who are good not get treated like they should
Why do nice guys finish last and lovely girls get broken hearts
Why do friends mess with your mind its not that hard to be kind
Questions - I still have no answers as they come around a 2nd time
Son you bring the fun
Rhythm and words
You can write your own version
I know you see through the bullshit
Make it hard to carry on
I promise time will make it worth it
Truth will shine like the sun... my son
Stand your ground, speak your truth, know when you are being used
Intuition is always right, there's a smarter road than a fight
Pleasure is a gift you give, success is every day you live
Love is the answer not incidental, your power lies in being gentle
Your ancestors will be your guide Intellectuals who survived
Storytellers, music makers, escapees, boundary breakers
Intergenerational resilience soft spoken voices, persistence
A certain charm, a way with words, the principled the undeterred
The measure of the world we make Is we give more than we take
The destinations is in your heart Getting there takes all your art
Every person who puts you down is offering to crown you
Rise again and take the weight leave them drifting in your wake
I'll be there right beside you to bear witness not to guide you
Freestyling in my car as you reveal who you are
Wisdom I acquire watching you grow and inspire
Me to carry on every day to see the new world that you make
Doesn't pay the cost
Doesn't hide the loss
Should I stand back like my dad did
A lost boy should I repeat it?
Tell you my truth not that you need it
Take the blows and stay undefeated
School is a jungle of fools FORGET IT
Thinking cruel is cool anti smeitic and sexist
Pathetic white privileged fools they don't get it
Like you do - that's your voodoo
Navigating two homes like you own them
Prove your point everytime you show them
Broke your heart in two and you cloned it
To double down the love you'll never be lonely
Son, always building bridges
Carry the weight
All the spans and distances
You say you're alright - are you alright?
You say you're fine - I'm not sure you're fine
My son
Why do people who are good not get treated like they should
Why do nice guys finish last and lovely girls get broken hearts
Why do friends mess with your mind its not that hard to be kind
