Outro Aluminum Oddity
This elderly man from the navy told me to stay in school
I figured if I was in his shoes I couldn't play it cool
He told me some of his stories of how he went out exploring
For twenty days and every night he had to be placed with tools
He said he had to dig a hole every night, wake up and put the dirt back
And every day he wondered if his friends would end up bringing his shirt back home
But he burst that chrome
Dont wanna hurt domes but he learns that song
And that morning all I was thinking was coming back home to burn that bong
But I heard that long story of sacrifice, the savage life
I'll take another savage's life 'fore you have to fight
On the other side: his mom, his dad, his wife, the kids, their siblings, a baby, a home, a christmas tree, some lights and presents
To come home was a blessing
And as he eats a biscuit
I seen him as a youngin with a biscuit
He finishes, gets up and picks up his cane
I shook his hand, threw my tray away and give him my thanks
I encourage all my listeners to pay more attention
Because our elders are much wiser
What they say could be precious
And if they're detrimental to you, then you best be respectful
Because you're blessed to see the face of an angel before they perish
So cherish every moment 'cause you'll never get it back twice
When they leave, you'll feel like you never can act right
But then before you realized it happened you'll get decrepit too
That'll be the moment the angels are sending death for you
Not a moment that's too soon or too late
You have to close the door forever 'cause it simply was fate
There's not a thing you can do to stop it, the moment we face
And we can finally figure out just what the hell is this place
And I will leave you on this note, cause that record is spinning
So don't you waste any seconds and make the best of your minutes
When you step in you seal it, when you step out you're the realest
All I'm trying to make you do is think
(Shouts can be whispers)
