lirik lagu everett michael - uncle ev's interlude
[intro]
spoken word
[verse 1]
let me start by saying
i’m glad i had a dad in the house
size 12 footsteps i tried to follow in
every chance that i found
did everything a young kid would think
being a man was about
never shed a tear in front of me
until i donned a cap and a gown
never had to put me up on game
because he and my mother knew that
as a black man, playing with life
was the quickest way to lose it
in a society where they try to eviscerate the blueprint
of a healthy black family
it’s not hard to bеcome a target
we can no longеr afford to be
living vain and stupid. every move we make
has to be a difference~making movement
now that, is a different kind of pressure
the likes of which i’ve never been subjected to in my life
looking back at the good and bad
it’s easy to hook and clasp onto the fact
that i’ve been blessed when i likely shouldn’t have
sometimes it felt like the favor wouldn’t last
lucy always pursued me
and while i never shook his hand
there remained the ever so little chance
of me becoming a crooked man
learning about
all the yearning and doubt
that comes with trusting the devil
is why i took a stand
that, and the children that hang on
every word from my mouth
the ones that faithfully
look up to me with those eyes that
blatantly scream, “play with me.”
it’s not just love
but a trust that they’ve placed in me
and the minute they don’t feel safe with me
it’s all burnt to the ground
there are six of them
to these innocent
and prayerfully untroubled blessings
i’ll always be known as uncle everett
but because of my blood, to the oldest four
i’m known as so much more
a friend. an example
of empathy and understanding
i’m the closest source
in an alternate timeline, my home is yours
but we’re here, so instead, i ask god every day
that any type of opposing force
never gets between you and his open doors
i love you. always
