Once upon a time
There lived
Someone who dreamt big
And felt like he was the shit
So he did something with his music
It was tough at first
No one seemed to give a damn
50 album releases later
They finally come around to saying, “He the man”
Now they know his entire camp
It's like the Lady And The Tramp
It’s like Jasmine and Aladdin
It's like a magician under a trance
It's like what Adam couldn’t fathom
Something melodic
Something soulful
Something that made Go Go Gadget
Be jealous of this man's pogo


Once upon a time
Was a time once that was upon
Before you know it
Your time is gone
Once upon a time
It's got a happy ending
Not predicated on
Those who are condescending

Once upon a time
There lived
A woman who didn't down them dicks
Knew of the tricks
They served
So created a network
Of more than stones and sticks
She was a chick
But she's more than that
She changed the world through her love
And that's spitting more than facts
Mortified
Petrified
Or terrified
Someone that chose to be someone
Who cared more than die
Someone alive
Because of her tribe
The tribe of daughters that know her name
Showed that life was more than a game
And that to not make the most of yourself
Is the greatest shame
