Homegrown

These days grow dark With saddest attempts The world that we know Doesn't always exist We try so hard just to do our best At the end of the road we can never except Your ignorance is a slap to the face Putting everyone down to get ahead in the race If you showed some compassion for others instead I take solace in the words that you have said This world will try to bring you down Whatever you do You will make me proud Turn this place around Take it away from this shroud of hate There is more to this life Give it a better fate You won't ever be some second rate Your worth more to me to be another slate Work hard never give up Finish what you start You don't have to be smart To show that you have heart Just remember son Try to learn from my mistakes You must do this on your own But I can show the way I know if you stumble I will be there to catch you when you fall Whatever you do with this life I'll support you through it all I've taught you as much as I can To help you become a better man Family first yeah will see them in the end Now get work and build a life with your hands The rest is up to you Just as long as you Stay true Take all you want Eat all you take In my home you don't want to be the second plate As I walk on the streets I feel the ground beneath my feet When I pass by all the leaves I see a world that you perceive Don't forget Dads can be a million But mothers only one Just remember at thee end of the day When all is said and done Always willing to take But your never willing to receive I must be what's wrong with this world If I'm real to what I believe What I believe
