For Gabriel...

Crazy joy, when I see the eyes of my baby boy
I pledge to you, I will always do
Everything I can
Show you how to be a man
Dignity, integrity, honor an
An' I don't mind if you lose, long as you came with it
An' you can cry, ain't no shame it it
It didn't work out with me an' your [dad]
But yo, push come to shove
You was conceived in love
So if the world attacks, and you slide off track
Remember one fact, I got your back

Lord have mercy on me, a sinner.
