Grandpa Lyrics by Miquiel Banks

2020

Sometimes when i'm alone and i'm sitting around thinking about my old grandfather, ole grandpa, ole grandpa
It seems rather illogical, that i'm philosophical
I'd say i'm a sinner, since my strength gets thinner
When around some babes, i seem to get crazed
It's been called a phase or i want to get laid
Sometimes it's both (BOTH), yet i plead there's still hope
Get a grip on myself, calm down and cope
Yet i'm even amazed, being of mental indignity
People comment on my lifestyle and i sigh out of pity
Ole grandpa, ole grandpa
They wanna-be or gonna-be, far greater than others
Give no respect, then grab the necks of promising brothers
Pulling them down and turn around just to say to me
I'm wasting my time, there'll be no money, i say fine, that may be true
But i stop and tell you, i work hard to be good, and if great is my fate
So be it, if not, i have no potential
I'll be a non-rapper with dozens of instrumentals
Ole grandpa, ole grandpa
How can I take what he went through
Then put it with me, what can I do
Is grandpa an older man, a bigger dad
The generation gap, can I adapt
Who told me to take him for granted
Am I the problem, why can’t he stand-me
Is my generation really lost
If I don’t remember history, what have we lost
We lost ole grandpa
Ole grandpa, ole grandpa
But until that climax, i'll write songs and be black
Stay drug-free and walk in knowledge knee-deep
Naked in flesh, so the knowledge will soak
Too much at a time, i cough and i'll choke
Yet leisurely learning, for the truth is my goal
In a chair on the porch, labeled as gray and old
On the surface it seems, but down in my extremes
Where the young scream, my heart sings and sings
Ole grandpa, ole grandpa
How can I take what he went through
Then put it with me, what can I do
Is grandpa an older man, a bigger dad
The generation gap, can I adapt
Who told me to take him for granted
Am I the problem, why can’t he stand-me
Is my generation really lost
If I don’t remember history, what have we lost
Ole grandpa, ole grandpa
That time is gone, my funeral has passed
Yet it seems a blast, when the young all ask
What will we do, now that grandpa is gone
And a grown up will say, leave him alone
His time is over, now your time is at birth
The kid starts to cry, because deep down it hurts
To let grandpa go, for he taught him so much
His words of wisdom in parables, his heart they touched
Ole grandpa, ole grandpa
How can I take what he went through
Then put it with me, what can I do
Is grandpa an older man, a bigger dad
The generation gap, can I adapt
Who told me to take him for granted
Am I the problem, why can’t he stand-me
Is my generation really lost
If I don’t remember history, what have we lost
We lost ole grandpa
Ole grandpa, ole grandpa
So the kid grew up, his tears of pain was embedded
Destiny met fate, his time had come, and he met-it
Now he's gray and old, a grandfather himself
He looks back to his youth, and gives the same sort of help
He says to himself, grandpa is a phase
That we all must accept when we become of that age
Ole grandpa, ole grandpa
That's my dude right there, ole grandpa
Everybody give a shout-out to their grandparents
Ole grandpa
That's right, ole grandpa
