I Still Remember
My grandmother's words still echo in my mind,
"you can accomplish anything, if you have the time."
"You can build a mountain, if you have enough dirt,
and baby remember, everyone has to work."
"You can have babies, there's no talent in that,
but just remember, one day you may feel trapped."
"You can sing, with a voice so sweet,
but just remember, with fame comes much heat."
"You can run to the ends of the earth,
but just remember, you decide your worth."
"You can love anyone you choose,
but just remember, some don't play by the rules."
"You can do anything, it's all in your reach,
but just remember, grandmothers were made to teach."
