Lyrics:
I’ve been teaching you haikus…teaching you things change
Reaching to tie shoes…dishonored your last name
Cheated…was untrue…did all of the same things
I saw mama do…
Had teachers but not school…a wedding with no rings
A lawyer saying I probably shouldn’t contest…same
Advice I got from my father…a martyr buried in shame
Mere mortal doing is best, as he dresses himself for work
Looking Forty-One in the face, I’m still dreaming of gold chains
Getting Grammys…hearing my Granny spit old aged
Sage, spirited wisdom…the rhythm of cold days
Has me wondering if I’ve really moved on from old ways
Wandering through the valley of death, memory lane
Gang signs, saying go left, write through the pain
But the question remains…do you still want me to your hero?
