My dad used to work third shift when I was in third grade Still came to most of my games I found a picture of my classroom from that year Cooper Elementary I still remember most of they names My dad used to work a side gig at the funeral home I'd always go cause I was too young to be left alone Can't remember when he started I might have been six I've seen more dead bodies than I would like to admit I learned early live ya life This is all we get Stop playin with mine Write goals, think ahead Take one day at a time Don't get mad and lash out quick You won't need pockets in your last outfit I know money isn't all there is I see how you moving funny after all these years My dad taught me not to bite my peers My dad taught me every now and then to bite my tongue My dads story here has just begun I made the album this part of it wasn't even fun I'm bout to tell you what they told me back when I was young They used to call me Larry's Son Where I'm from They used to call me Larry's Son This story felt completely unrelated But needs to be stated Why we actin like nobody racist My dad grew up in Johnston County with segregation His freshman year of High School was when they integrated I got a lot to say My dad got his house shot up by the KKK Why we actin like nobody fake When half the people over 70 and 80 called us nigga daily I knew Trump and Biden wouldn't save me Ain't a form of reparation you could even pay me I'm only fourth generation from slavery Dad had me at 38 His grandad was born in 1903 I did the math and Biden might owe me Cause 1865 really ain't that far I'm seeing how we got it now it ain't that hard We used to run at night had to follow a star And now we run at night to the club and the bar When bottle service comin we ain't working tomorrow My grandad didn't have to work that hard Compared to them we blessed just to be in the rat race My grandad was really round with niggas in blackface Used to work the fields on the farm My dad too Primed tobacco over the summer they had to It wasn't a joke Nowadays we complain and working remote They would die to hit the polls you don't even vote Shorties die to hit the poles Niggas sellin dope I left the altar call Said the preacher sellin hope I read the Bible for myself Now I'm getting old Then I started paying tithes Now I'm making more Then I gave it all to God And he took control Then he take it off my mind I can let it go I leave it on the pad When I let you know They used to call me Larry's Son Now I'm grown
