Well it seems so early  Like dewdrops on my mind  I've just begun to realize  The things I could not find  Just like I was told as a child  By the greatest man who ever shined  I'm just wakin' up  Just smelling the coffee  I'm just wakin' up  To the sweetness of life  He said life isn't easy  But he told me from a different point of view  He said, "You've got to watch your back, boy  Everybody's gonna love you  And everybody hates somebody, somebody loves  Watcha gonna do?"  (Chorus)  He said, "There's something I've got to tell you  Before I send you out on your own"  And then there was a stare so deep, my man  It chilled me to the bone  "It's somewhat like a legacy, it can't be left alone"  (Chorus)
