Lyrics:

Lil' different this time
Got my grandfather on my mind, you know
I took a silent moment in remembrance of him
An angler of the soul, a true fisherman of men
I wrote a couple words and ima send 'em on the winds
I sure that you and god are talkin' skim 'em when you can
I realize you're gone but I know you left your recipe
We're living in your words and we're baskin' in your legacy
Rest in peace for now we'll see you later on
If nothing else, we'll see you every time we play this song
I say to ya'll he caught us all like the cod, life was hard
But he got it right with God, and now he on the other side
See him in my mother eyes
And if you will be together again when the sun arrives
Yes your past, you ran away, and thats too bad
I value what you taught, you're the dad I never had
Some of your words, honestly, I left them in the past
No they didn't all stick, but surely the message has
My grandfather never bought a lot of gifts
But he handed me a rod and he taught me how to fish(x4)
Your livin' through your grandson
I ain't sitting around cuz that'll leave he hamstrung
Its like I got a son that I gotta raise
So I gotta grind, I ain't got it made
That means I gotta work, gotta keep a job and
Means I gotta grow gotta leap the frog and
That means I gotta pray, find a peace with god and
Fishin with discipline I gotta keep the rod man
You taught me well grandpap, im on the wagon now
And I won't let this whole world come and drag me down
It gets hard but I ain't really one for backin' out
So ima live for now and come and join you after awhile
Yes you passed, you went away, and thats too bad
I value what you taught, your the dad I never had
Some of your words, honestly, I left em in the past
No they didn't all stick but surely the message has
My grandfather never bought a lot of gifts
But he handed me a rod and taught me how to fish(x4)
Yeah, well alright, ha
This is for my grandfather man
Just gonna let the beat breathe, ya know?
Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day
Teach a man to fish, he'll eat for a lifetime
My grandfather never bought a lot of gifts
But he handed me a rod and he taught me how to fish(x4)
