For the years to come I want you to be upstanding
Cheering me on as I'll be picking up my accolades
For the hard work that I've put through the years
It was a matter of time before everyone saw my star
Some saw it as far as Burj Khalifa, Dubai
Under the desert skies full of humidity
And just like the towering skyscrapers there
I'll be piling one accolades after the other
For years I wrote in the confine of my mind
Until I was able to write in other people's minds
I live in most of them, that's why I even got here
For they didn't have to see the light for them to follow
Some saw it in the struggle as I labored to rhyme
Till it came so easy for me that's why I've been delivering
Each & every time that's why I make you all smile
Cause its happiness I spread & spread something more ??
Remain upstanding just a little more
Till I take to that stage and say my speech
Cause all those days and nights lead to this
But it's all you who believed that have kept me going

A Man Upstanding
He’s an upstanding citizen,
A judge no less;
Six feet two, silver white hair;
Posture with an athlete’s chest.
So admired, him and his wife,
He always had his arm round her waist;
Both rocks of the church, so many years;
‘Til she died and saddened his face.
Still he stood tall, it doesn’t take long,
For church widows to zero in;
Saturday he married another church lady;
A new life they’ll happily begin.
Now I know you’re wondering about him,
What dire secret he has must be big,
Sorry to disappoint you folks,
The worst you can say, he wears a wig.
