Be the best that you can be

Pops used to say all kinds of things to us
He always made his point, he never had to cuss
He taught us how to sing, taught us how to live
He gave us all his love and everything he had to give
He had to give

You're never too young, you're never too old
And it's never too late, that's what we were told
Do it well, great or small
Never give up or don't do it at all

He said... accept responsibility
Don't forget humility
At every opportunity
Serve your artistry
Don't subscribe to bigotry
Hypocrisy, duplicity
Respect humanity
That's Pops recipe, y'all

He was the seventh son in a family of fourteen
That's a lot of mouths to feed, and times were lean
Had to drop out of school right after eighth grade
Picking cotton for Dockery's plantation at ten cents a day
Ten cents a day

Moved up to Chicago, Mississippi born and bred
Had heart and soul, had a dream in his head
Sang and played that guitar like no other could
Those six strings changed the world, like he knew they would

He said... accept responsibility
Don't forget humility
At every opportunity
Serve your artistry
Don't subscribe to bigotry
Hypocrisy, duplicity
Respect humanity
That's Pops recipe
