Nana |
Good morning nana, what’s for breakfast? |
Orange juice, scrambled eggs and some jelly bread |
An Oscar Mayer bacon, that’s a king’s meal |
At least compared to my friends that are really fed |
You really know how to kill it with a black skillet |
Energized by your love and these cats feel it |
Not to be rude but my dude want a plate of food |
You never exclude, that puts you in a greater mood |
To give one of my dudes a little something to eat |
So they stomach won’t growl when they up in the street |
The sounds of a bear, but this time a year |
It’s kind of cold so we home and we upping the heat |
Project radiator hissing like a rattle snake |
I’m in the front room playing my favorite battle tape |
You in the back room watching Barbany Jones |
These white folks living good and we trying to be clones |
The ones you work for out in Bensonhurst |
After Howard Beach, now the tension is worse |
Watching over they kids while they earn a wage |
Making 'em lunch, reading 'em books, now turn the page |
I was only 10, I was younger then |
Guess it must have been hard for me to understand it |
House keys hanging on a string from my neck |
Had to let myself in, make myself a sandwich, damn |
Beginning and the end of me, before I can even see |
The man that I wanted to be, is what you came to know |
You taking every step with me, taught me to take the lead |
That’s why you trusting me, you gone get what you owe |
We played in the spring and summer time, learned lessons in the fall |
The world is winter, but you was never cold |
More than a doer than a talker, but I still live by your words |
One day it’ll all register, you never get too old |
We grow, things change, but you will never go |
Happy Thanksgiving, sweet potato pies |
They was try’na ketchup on it like a plate of fries |
Come in dude for the recipe |
Uncle Marvin on the couch watching the game next to me |
Talking smack, messing with me like an evil twin |
It’s the Playoffs and we just try to see who’s in |
Dallas bout to do it yet again |
Number 31 breaks a long run and the Eagles win |
Thank God, dinner’s ready, this stuff is terrific |
Family eats, family talks but nothing specific |
No religion, no politics |
Pudgy lemon at the table doing a couple politrics |
I’m a teen now, the streets are mean now |
High praise for the waste, you cook and clean wow |
Let it be known you get paid but you’re not a maid |
Nana’s here, family’s home and I’m not afraid, nah |
Beginning and the end of me, before I can even see |
The man that I wanted to be, is what you came to know |
You taking every step with me, taught me to take the lead |
That’s why you trusting me, you gone get what you owe |
We played in the spring and summer time, learned lessons in the fall |
The world is winter, but you was never cold |
More than a doer than a talker, but I still live by your words |
One day it’ll all register, you never get too old |
We grow, things change, but you will never go |
— Boy, what you doing up this late? |
I know you excited about graduating tomorrow |
— I don’t know, I’m just up, thinking about everything |
— This radio show I like is about to come on |
— Radio show? |
What kind of radio show on at 2 o’clock in the morning? |
— They call it the World’s Famous Supreme Team show and it’s about that time |
