SoulBrotha'

i want you to be everything you set your mind to

i want you to work hard and be fruitful
i want us to nurture a love that will never fade and
i don't want to be punished for the mistakes others have made
i want you to wax poetic and move me with your words
i want you to speak to me with a tongue others ain't never heard
i want you to be open, honest, seek and fear God too
we don't have promised tomorrows but he is waiting for you
to be the beautiful man he created in his own image
recognizing the race is also for those who finish
i want to see the light with you and let us walk towards it
i want you to admit when you're wrong and wear the cap if it fit
i want you to be brave for others but show your weaknesses to me
and me only, see, i'm trying to be as clear as i can honestly be
speaking in a language we both can read
cause i don't want to be misunderstood
baby, if you love me right i'll forever love you as i should
and finally....
i want you to be the kind of man i can grow to depend on
just stay by my side, breathe me let our dreams collide and
let two become one....

....in soul.

Peace.
