Legacy for Generations

They say I had the swagger of my daddy, 
mouthpiece of his legacy, 
mindset of southern comfort it'll remind u of Tennessee, 
three piece cocaine white suit you swear he drank Hennessy, 
I laughed hard at the story of him trying to sell a key,
I listened hard to the wisdom he spoke over iced tea,
even though I was too young to digest it all quickly, 
he exited my life through death oh so too early, 
my vows to a king never change to the world G, 
always respect your mother n never fret money,
live for Christ and inherit all the milk n honey, 
I know he chuckles over my life in heaven,
his style lives in me spiritually soon to his grandson*
