By: Cedric McClester Was it a messiah, you sought to find? Then Homie was, your paradigm As it was written, so it was Our Creator doesn’t make duds Like Noah sent here For the floods So was Homie For the Crips and Bloods So think of him, not as dead Get that notion out your head Based upon the life he led And the words of comfort said He’s merely resting in his bed See to the manor he was born The good he left us will live on Long after Homie is gone He believed in law and order As his time was growing shorter Much like a lamb taken to slaughter No Homie didn’t walk on water But he loved his son, And daughter I hope they learned From all he taught ‘em When his story is finally told Just like Jesus, he was bold And if per chance, You’re still not sold The retelling doesn’t get old The way he left us Was also cold And both their lives broke the mold Cedric McClester, Copyright © 2019.  All rights reserved.
