My grandfather lived 91 years righteously Gave his life to Christ to find the key to life you see Inspired me and everybody who crossed paths Hustled for hard cash but never left a dark past Honest labor, he worked the razor, the illest taper, Cutting heads to get the paper, nobody greater He loved a hater, his loving nature was God’s favor Made many racists change behavior and see the Savior Served his country, family, and community Left a blueprint for you and me, truthfully Married over 70 years, we shed tears Telling granny it's gon be okay the Lord is near A true light, who would fight, when it came down to his fam though Helped raise me and my brothers a real man yo Hard to see this man go, but trusting God’s plan Salome you might've known him as Sam With all my energy I’m holding up your legacy I hope how I remember you is how they remember me Man of the century almost lived a century Trust I’ma hold you in my heart and my memory Oh until we meet again, yeah Watch over as the world get colder all we ask, Until we meet again We gon celebrate your story, give God all the glory, cuz I know we gon meet again He was born on December 3, 1926, ugh Youngest of 13 kids, imagine this, ugh Sonora, Texas, small town you never heard about Nobody concerned about, news travel by word of mouth Went to the Mexican school to get his education Back before Brown vs. the Board ended segregation Where he met Fela, my Abuela And she love to tell of a handsome young man, intelligent fella After school, World War 2 was at hand He was just a young man, stationed in Japan Serving a country that didn’t even treat him equal So, watch your mouth before speaking about my people He was different built relationships to bring people together Became the first Mexican school board member Served in the church til the day he wasn’t able Co-producer credit, bought my first turntable With all my energy I’m holding up your legacy I hope how I remember you is how they remember me Man of the century almost lived a century Trust I’ma hold you in my heart and my memory Oh until we meet again, yeah Watch over as the world get colder all we ask, Until we meet again We gon celebrate your story, give God all the glory, cuz I know we gon meet again He wrote his chapter, I'm coming after, the ink flowing Far from perfect but know it's worth to keep growing Our legacy's at stake, that's heavy weight Hard to fill the shoes of a great, make no mistake, but he Deserves it, and left a foundation for us to build on His flesh gone, but i feel his spirit it's still strong No room for beef in the fam he would be heartbroken Hope everybody can reconcile with hearts open Family is all that matters we can’t have distractions Have us speaking words we never back up with actions That goes for all of us kill the pride and the selfishness Don't be too busy to show love and selflessness Know he looking down from the Heavens Like count your blessings, I be the thinking of how he lived when i be stressing He left the greatest example, i ain’t got no excuse God, family, then self now execute With all my energy I’m holding up your legacy I hope how I remember you is how they remember me Man of the century almost lived a century Trust I’ma hold you in my heart and my memory Oh until we meet again, yeah Watch over as the world get colder all we ask, Until we meet again We gon celebrate your story, give God all the glory, cuz I know we gon meet again
