If I Had a Son

My son, my seed

My name, my need

Believe, belong

Be loved, be strong

'Cause everyone here is down on you

And they'll walk out on you

Try not to let division overwhelm your trust

Let out, let down

Cast out

Enough, move on

Be proud, endowed

'Cause everyone here is down on you

And they will denigrate your will

In spite still please them 'til you overwhelm them

Humble everyone

Minus, divide

Equate each side

That's all a lie

Connect, decide

'Cause everyone here is down on you

And they walk out on you

Try not to let it overwhelm you

Everyone here will complicate your world

And they'll extract the value

Try not to let the problems overwhelm you

Over everyone

My son, speed low
