ENCOURAGEMENT

Daddy U are a Strong black MAN
I only trust thee to take my HAND
To do with me all that you CAN
To be a factor in my master PLAN

When times got hard so did yo SPINE
To feed yo Fam U made Dollaz from DIMES
I watched U Bubble right on TIME
Black man resourceful blows my MIND

Alwayz protecting what’s yours what’s MINE
Neva afraid to commit that CRIME
Will shut yo mouth and do yo TIME
All while maintaining peace of MIND

Not flawless in yo way of THOUGHT
Mistakes U made are lessons well TAUGHT
Laced me wit game that cain’t be BOUGHT
Wounded yo flesh from battles well FOUGHT

I know you’re worthy I crown U my KING
For being so down for your FAMILY
Now that’s the stuff U don’t hear about or SEE
The contribution the black man made to ME

But if for some reason yo esteem runs LOW
When feelings’ of hopelessness slip thru ya DOE
And as a result frustration starts to SHOW
Embrace these few encouraging words I KNOW

I LOVE YOU
