Little Brother

Let me whisper in your ear Help you to understand The reason we need you To grow up to be a good man The world has already tainted you Tries to make people believe you have no worth But you were crowned a King At the beginning of your birth Don’t let the hypocrites The society as a whole Tear you down And break your soul You are a powerhouse A force to be reckoned with You have the ability To create your own niche Make sure you raise your children Be an excellent role model Don’t let the world believe You are dead-beat fathers You don’t have to be A product of your environment Make a real life for your family So you all can enjoy your retirement Invest your money Build a future Learn about stocks Don’t be afraid, let it allure you Get that education Don’t hang out on the block Transform your knowledge Into a solid building rock Don’t be abusive Don’t degrade your women God made you in his image In the very beginning Little brother, you are bad A magnificent piece of art Stop living by your head And start living by your heart I love ya!
