Grandmas Hands

I was coasting to the ocean
Wearing no lotion
Watching the motion
Hypnosis like I was sipping potions
Skin was toasting
I feel emotions of past devotions
Get the notion through others
My life was set in motion
My grandpappy came over for play dates
Hope my grandkids
Look at me the same way
If I go too deep just scream,
“May day!”
But this beat be kickin’ it
Like it was pele
That’s the past now I’m
Moving ahead
One day I’ll be putting my own children
To bed
I’ll look him in the eyes
With confidence
Know that I taught love
No matter the consequence
We’ll do it right, meditate
Every night
Show ‘em how
Martin Luther King Jr.
Shined the light
Ghandi, Buddha,
All the way to Jesus Christ
Conjure the spirits
Everytime I grab the mic

Don’t ever tell me that I’m wrong
‘Cause you ain’t doin’ it
That’s false ruler ship
So who you think you’re fooling with?
Can’t change my train of thought
Unless you plan on moving it
Chill out be cool with it
Me and my posse proving it
KRS One taught me the philosophy
My parent’s ideology
The eye of God’s light
Steady watches me
And so did my grandma
Beat me with her sandal
With the same hand
She used to beat me
Playing handball
Rode the bike
Little miles on the handles
When we was out of energy
She bought the candles
But that’s enough of that
Because we done with that
I grew up thinking
I was Panthro from the Thundercats
But I’m a grown man
Knowledge of my old man
Yellow Cadillac with bucket seats
Sat the whole fam
But it a new edition
People need to cool it now
Me and Sammy G
We stick together like a unibrow
Rap for love
Why y’all rhyme so furious
Ain;t took you serious
Since Eddie wrote Delirious
Way before Raw
I thought I told y’all
It’s hard to fill the shoes
Of someone you call Grandma

Stand up tall for my ancestors
Tread so soft for the great unborn
