Words of a King

Intro

Yeah, we here now

It's about those words, you know

Verse 1

Raised up broke but the mind stayed golden

Dad had a line for every moment

Kept it real, steady never folding

Gems in his words, cold night, door open

Lunch meat dinners and bills unpaid

He told me, "Son, stay sharp, don't fade"

Saw him work two jobs, hands rough as pavement

Gave me wisdom, that's true engagement

Chorus

Dad line, play it in my mind

Hard times, but his words made me climb

Never scared, yeah, he taught me how to grind

Everything I am, got a dad line

Verse 2

He said, "Never trust quick cash or fake friends"

"Respect is earned, it ain't something you pretend"

Taught me loyalty, got my circle tight

Told me, "Stand for the truth even if you gotta fight"

Struggled through the system, but he ain't ever whine

Told me, "Work for yours, make your hustle align"

Laid it out clear, never sugar-coated life

Dad was that voice for me late at night

Chorus

Dad line, play it in my mind

Hard times, but his words made me climb

Never scared, yeah, he taught me how to grind

Everything I am, got a dad line
