Sent to live with my grandma down south When my uncles was leaving And my grandfather had鈥卝ust鈥卨eft for heaven They鈥卻aid and as every-ologist would certainly鈥卬ote I had no strong male figure, right? But Lily Scott was鈦焌bsolutely鈦焠ot鈦焬our mail-order, room-service Typecast,鈦焍lack grandmother I was鈦焟oved in with her Temporarily, just until things were patched Till this was patched and till that was patched Until I became at 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 The patch that held Lily Scott who held me and like them four I became one more and I loved her from the absolute marrow of my bones And we was holdin' on I come from a broken home
