(Substantial)
I wrote this rhyme while watching my daughter sleep
Wishing I knew the peace that she does, its sorta deep
At the same time her great grandma is being buried
Some day she'll be burying me, sorta scary
Ordinarily wouldn't really be on my mind
but the fact I made it over 20 is divine
So i welcome every challenge that comes
As experience, wisdom is the sum
So if i sound a little older than i am
its because this wicked world forced me to be a man
really cant say i wish i was still a teen
kinda like being trapped in the guillotine
it seems everyone wanted to take my head
instead of building like brothas, breakin bread
and it became therapy to write on the page
even as youth departs and im commin of age
