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!
