A wise man once told me

Son life ain’t been nothing but a rocky road

I tell you son

We been on this road a long time

Take ease to my word son

We came a long way

Your father and i

We road on dirt and climb trees

And ran taking cover from the sky

Chasing us down,

Sweating us,

Bleeding torcher from above

Son I tell you

Life  ain’t been no chambly on a warm Christmas night

Cold summer days threaten the days to go away

And fill the night with nothing but broken bottle

Bottles after bottle son

We worried of you

Shaking in our boots

Your father and i

To see that you walk on water

Son life for us ain’t been no fireworks

Life been nothing but landmines

Watching every step

Look over your shoulder son

See the holes from the war fought

Back before you took air

Now you here

And breathing in this poison

We fear for years to come

Your father and i

Blood shed was lost and found

Take no word from the new pack of wolves

They’re poison

Preying on the confusion of your mind

Playing tricks on you

Son life ain’t sunshine shinning upon you

But black sun pouring down rain of arrows of poison

Son take word from a wise old fool like me

Life aint always bout the flashy light and cars

We sweat and bleed

Our feet out,

And sweat bloodily  sweat of torns

Bloodily and crying tears of worried

A wise man once told me

Son take aid to my word of wisdom

Use my wisdom son

Share our struggle with new off springs

Tell them son my father was

A wise old man

Son this is from a fathers to son

Life ain’t been no sweat on the park
