What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I always wanted to do it big,
2
That's why the Latin King Pres,
3
Hip Hop and filthy politics
4
allured me growing up.
5
All these characters
6
playing prototypes in my story,
7
Through skill, or hustle,
8
campaigning
9
or manipulation,
10
Big was written on their poker faces,
11
pocket books,
12
and praises
13
Praised by bystanders, haters,
14
and fanatics alike -
15
it was contagious.
16
The pull of man's worship,
17
Always called me.
18
But 6am consistently intrigued me,
19
Jaime,
20
waking up from Sunday to Sunday,
21
consistently serving,
22
Pulpit to the boiler room,
23
liquor store corner to the library,
24
spanish radio halls,
25
to the sick halls of hospitals,
26
Serving
27
Father of 4,
28
Husband of 1,
29
Serving, Uncompromising shepherd
30
to one of Chicago's 7 7,
31
Serving, Father of the fatherless,
32
yet unsung servant serving,
33
Every time I gravitated
34
to a definition of false manhood,
35
His dynamic example left me undone,
36
And everytime I sought
37
to wave off Christ
38
as a traditional religion,
39
Jaime's supernatural way of loving,
40
undid my conviction,
41
How do you front on what's real?
42
Grown man,
43
showing up to every
44
Sullivan Hoop Squad game - Real.
45
The fatherless squad called him Pops.
46
How could I front on real?
47
Instead of cadillac riding
48
to the parish,
49
you'd see my father perish
50
walking in worn down dress shoes
51
from Hermitage to Glenwood and back
52
Seminario, West Side, and back,
53
Almost like back was his forward,
54
And decrease was his glory,
55
"A Dios sea la gloria" he would say,
56
"You got to die to self always
57
in order to resurrect things."
58
Perishing.
59
South Side, Pastor Ford
60
Pulled me to the side
61
Lion in his eyes,
62
Told me,
63
"Your's Jaime's reflection,
64
Don't neglect it."
65
Honestly, I respected pops,
66
But inside I wanted
67
bigger things to mess with,
68
not pastoral stressing,
69
late night messages,
70
compassionate counseling sessions,
71
funeral blessings,
72
and Gospel proclamations,
73
Not to mention,
74
Nor little pay grades,
75
And counter - American
76
materialism decisions,
77
I wanted life big,
78
Like Big,
79
But Jaime showed me what life is,
80
Big is all the little things,
81
most don't give,
82
The pennies amounting to a million
83
over investing a whole life,
84
Give,
85
Philippians 2 type greatness,
86
Emptiness makes full - Give,
87
The silent leader makes bigger waves
88
through persistant ripples
89
that most big men miss,
90
Live, Small and make God big
91
Pushing me to reflect
92
on my definition of success,
93
Cause Jaime reflected
94
God's message of redemption the best.
95
Which left me perplexed
96
on how few father's are
97
actually Christ like present
98
and how I am undeservingly blessed,
99
So when I look into Zion's eyes,
100
may he see Jaime's refection,
101
And in so doing
102
see Christ's Reality, Death,
103
and Resurrection.
