Letter to my Son People Under the Stairs

[Verse 1]
Dear son, I wrote this the day you turned ten
A decade on Earth since your birth, my best friend
And as boys become men and you start on your life plan
A couple notes for you as you grow into a gentleman
Chase your wildest dreams, support yourself to a bigger truth
Work hard, stay patient, stay cool but not aloof
Be kind to everyone, you never know what they're goin' through
Hold the door and greet people even if they're ignorin' you
'Cause we can make small change
While we work towards a bigger one
So volunteer your time, vote
Stand up and never run
Defend those who need help
Respect and communicate
Celebrate diversity and raise your arms up against hate
Don't tolerate half-ass
Let your passion propel you
It's okay to make mistakes but listen what people tell you
Apologize, try to make amends and then move on
Surround yourself with friends
Who always inspire above and beyond
And if they aren't one
Then you walk away
Let 'em know and if they don't respect it, that's okay
Your honor's forever and heroism's from day-to-day
And everything you're doing in the millions of littlest ways
The biggest man is
The humblest man
Find happiness in little things and laugh when you can
Formulate a plan
And then make it your best yet
I always be proud of you, I hope you never forget
That I love you
