Ten Hawkins - Grandparent's Day Freestyle Lyrics

My pops used to say psul bunion ain't got nothing on me
As he bagged up the Os after he broke down the P

My mama used to say son find a woman just like me
As she walked out the door guess she'll be back in a week
My therapist say it's trauma I just say it's the way of life
Coming from where we from they just trying to survive

My mama punched a clock so she ain't got to fight an eviction
My papa's trying to feed the streets but whisking will get you prison

I'm grandmama raised granddaddy ways
Ahead of my time back in them days
Me and Dex was always catching the fade
But I line you up when it come to Dai Dai

Buck call me luck but you don't wanna try
Feeling like Mable everything getting fried
When me and Sean in the lab cooking up
The fam I gotta eat and I'ma make sure they pocket stuffed
That's rule number one and I got that from Buck
He say get some money fo' getting a nut
Find you a woman that come with her own
A mill and a bank and one ready at home
Loyal as Mable your grandmother the realest
She love my children in and out of this village
And now she raising the next generation
God broke the mold whenever he made her

To my mom and dad parents
This song is dedicated
My granddaddy's raised a man
But I'm still my grandmama's baby

I think about Faye when I'm losing my faith
Wateree AME method is always to pray
That's how granddaddy Robert would start up his day

Then ask me Neri are you trying to get paid
Or you gonna stay here and just play on your game
I know y'all think I know what I was gonna say
But nah I'm on a mission today
Then find me some ballers and shoot out the day
Then Faye would tell me it's time for some lunch
Nobody mash potatoes effing with hers
Fried bologna with a little bit of crunch
Got me full again took me to church

Now I'm gassing up the weed eater so I can cut around these tombs
Reading the names
I know some of these dudes

Then granddaddy sat me down and told me death ain't got no age
I make you come out here with me so I ain't gotta clean your grave
Your daddy doing time for crooked deeds I gotta keep you straight
We all got a path to choose and your friends led them this way

When we get to the house put that game on my dresser
Your grandma got a to-do list and you gonna be the one to help her
We look at you as a opportunity to get it right
See we wrote the manual on how to screw up your life
Get it right the first time you might not get a second chance
See I am the way I am because of my grandparents

I just wanna say
Thank y'all for everything y'all did for me
I love y'all
