lyrics

lawrence, be a strong man
those around you might not notice
but you'll know the difference

the more you work,
the more you learn,
the more you look like your father
as you get older

you might not think
you can be as good as him
but please don't worry about it

i wanted to write this as a letter,
but realized, that these words are worthless
until they're said
and turned into flesh
cos these words are skeletons, unless they're spoken

lawrence, take your dirty hands and go wash them
just like your mother always wanted
soon, your spirits will be lifted

the more you work,
the more you learn,
the more you look like your father
as you get older

the city of tallahassee will keep you safe
the city of tallahassee will keep you safe
