Lyrics
Sent to live with my grandma down south When my uncles was leaving And my grandfather had just left for heaven They said and as every-ologist would certainly note I had no strong male figure, right? But Lily Scott was absolutely not your mail-order, room-service Typecast, black grandmother I was moved 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 become one more and I loved her from the absolute marrow of my bones And we was holdin' on I come from a broken home
