Il M'a Dit

Black Kent Black Kent

He Told Me

He told me to move on, with or without the wind
But don’t grow up too fast, please take your time
One day or another, you’ll have your big moments too
But above all, make the right choices at the right time
And I told him (yeah) don’t worry, I’m not hiding
I took the bull by the horns, and I’m not letting go (no no no)
And believe me when I say we’re handling it (yeah) and every day I hear what my dad told me

I look ahead but I’ve got eyes in the back
Dad said: "Grandma does what she wants from up there
And you can do what you want from up there too
But for now, honor your own and those above
He told me, son, do your job and do it well
And when I leave, please do mine
And man is a bomb
And man is a man
So man is bad
But keep your hands clean even if man is dirty
Avoid the trouble of a man before your time
In fact, avoid growing up before your time
And keep an eye out and respect your mama
But don’t worry, you’ll understand when they call you daddy
(Listen) and since then, I’ve learned to let go
It’s not just money, learn to take the hits too
But if you fall, don’t make a deal
With a smile, go back to war
I just ask you to make your parents proud

And I told him, dad, I don’t have time anymore
And it’s the money that pushes me, not the wind
You know what they say when there’s no more plan
Sit on the ground if there’s no more bench
And that means figure it out if there’s no more plan
We sell the purebred 80s
And I love college but I’m bored if I don’t have sound
And in the street, I’m a plasma, I have no name
And don’t worry, I went to a good school
And I’m doing harm, dad, just because man is (huh)
And I do my job, but rest assured, I do it well
Rest assured, I have nothing
No one will tell you "your son does nothing"
But this is my war and I fight it alone
I sleep with a trellis and a G-clef
And if I hang with the losers
It’s because I prefer to hunt than be hunted
Don’t worry, thanks for stopping by.
