Dear Granny (A 2pac Parody)



Dear Granny Susan
Wisdom great like gold
So funny and amusing
the day she left it got cold

But she will be back
to settle a score
and live past her cremation
Forevermore

She was a woman
straight fit for God
She put her trust
and faith in Him past the odds

He blessed her 95
years strong
She was  extraordinary
in my lifelong

I did not even  know
who I was
We are all one big
happy family that loves

She already gone
rose to glory
I was trying to be humble
and hear out the story

but granny was a soldier
she had alligator tough faith
you could not penetrate
on God he had that straight

She and Sam
held up long
but they both
will be back strong

They showed me a lot
and God's mercy runs hot
She just told me pray
wherever in any spot

I am just thankful
for the life she gave me
I been thru the rough
on trusted in God to save me

I remember on the street
It was catch a girl getta girl that hype
fox and the rabbit king of the hill
yeah that's right

back in those days
river roads was actually a mall
and the Halls Ferry Circle
had great springs and all

there was no tik tok
peeps ran from the cops
enemies ran up on others
no gunshots just box

At least you lasted
nobody blasted
people was not diabetic
Hide and seek was casted

good times smother
brother to brother
block parties like no other
can't wait for another

Like where is the love
Straight from God above
too much violence
wishing it was sweet like turtle doves

I know someone
can feel me
old skool coming off
like a real G

Back then everything was tight
granny made it better
even when times tough
really not together

Times back then anticipated
I  can't hate it
but Granny
you are appreciated
