| I knew an old man who was so prideful
|
| He had some robberies on his street
|
| So he stayed up all night listening
|
| With a shotgun at his feet
|
| But unfortunately he feel asleep no later then past 2 or 3
|
| And the robber, he took everything
|
| And he left packing some heat
|
| Never victim to the system
|
| He refused to play the game
|
| Whether he bought or sold or 18 holes
|
| He did it his own way
|
| He defined self made, sell you anything
|
| You’d never get away with the shit he did
|
| The only tragedy is he will never have a name sake
|
| I know I’ve never been a saint
|
| But that old man believed in me
|
| And I’m goddamned sure
|
| That I’ll take this to my grave
|
| And be there in elegy
|
| I knew a young man was so grateful
|
| For the life that he had lead
|
| No silver spoon, a one bedroom
|
| He built his business from nothing
|
| He could talk his way out of anything
|
| You’d never get away with this shit these days
|
| But we tried it, and we did it
|
| No matter what they god damn said |
