How It Works

Scott Whitby, 2020


Our daddy plowed dirt

Our momma fixed hair

No time for something else

Probably wasn't fair


We came along easier

They gave us more

They gave us something

More than just being poor


Somebody ran the bank

Another ran the schools

The last one tended the ill

Still at times we were fools


But we found our way

Our own families we'd raise

Crooked path sometimes

Looking it over, God to praise


A generation later

Times not the same

Might seem like marriage

Just another game


It ain't though

And kids of your own

Be honest to yourselves

It's what you were shown


Set an example

Yours can do it too

Point them right

Now it depends on you


This is how it works

At times it'll be alot of fuss

But y'all remember this...


No harder for you than for us
