Cypher 28 - The Old MANual by InFlo

this life didnt come with a set of instructions
so the wise learn from misadventures of others
and in that way, you were more than just a father
...layered my like strata with your knowledge as my armour

just an average guy but relentlessly ambitious
had that look in your eye when your handling your business
just tryna supply whats on you childrens wishlist
the will to survive, is what you really gifted

musta knew i woulda grew one hell of an appetite
you gave to me, all the things id need to succeed in life
a goal to strive, ... to make the hundred grand a year
i guess must adjust the sights, im 25, already here

through the struggle, all my success is yours
you taught me how to hustle and to open doors
the dedicated lion puts his pride before his pride, and
i owe it all to you for the guidance you provided.
