He told me learn how to fix it yourself When the truck sat dead and the tools were few Ain’t nobody comin’ to save your hide You either figure it out or you walk it through Said don’t go rushin’ into every damn thing I’ve already paid for a few of those lessons You jump too quick and you’ll pay it twice Some roads ain’t worth the price of the messin’ These weren’t soft words, they were built to last A man telling a boy how the real world acts Stand on your feet when the ground gets thin Watch who you trust and don’t let just anyone in Work while the sun’s still high in the sky Rest when you’ve earned it, not when you cry Do what you want but own every choice That’s the kind of talk that still carries weight in my voice He said work hard now, rest later son That easy life don’t just fall in your lap Build something solid while you’re still young So you never have to live where I had to scrap Be careful who you put your trust in Most folks will take more than they give I’ve watched good men get cut at the knees You protect what’s yours if you want to live Then he looked me dead on and said do what makes you happy But don’t come cryin’ if the choice goes wrong I’ll back the man you decide to become As long as you stand there and own it strong These weren’t soft words, they were built to last A man telling a boy how the real world acts Stand on your feet when the ground gets thin Watch who you trust and don’t let just anyone in Work while the sun’s still high in the sky Rest when you’ve earned it, not when you cry Do what you want but own every choice That’s the kind of talk that still carries weight in my voice Yeah that talk still sits right here in my chest Not dressed up pretty, just honest and direct Five hard lines that never needed dressin’ up Just a man passin’ down what actually works © 2026 Zax Dezignz Distributed by United Masters All Rights Reserved.
