Lyrics Jaime - Alert312

I always wanted to do it big
That's why the Latin King Pres
Hip-hop and filthy politics allured me growing up
All these characters playing prototypes in my story
Through skill
Or hustle
Campaigning
Or manipulation
Big was written on their poker faces, pocketbooks
And praises
Praised by bystanders, haters
And fanatics alike, it was contagious
The pull of man's worship
Always calling me
But six am consistently intrigued me
Jaime
Waking up from sunday to sunday
Consistently serving
Pulpit to the boiler room
Liquor store corner to the library
Spanish radio halls
To the sick halls of hospitals
Serving
Father of four
Husband of one
Serving
Uncompromising, shepherd of one of Chicago's seventy-seven
Serving
Father of the fatherless
Yet unsung servant serving
Every time I gravitated to a definition of false manhood
His dynamic example left me undone
And every time I sought to wave off Christ
As traditional religion
Jaime's supernatural way of loving
Undid my conviction
How do you front on what's real?
Grown man
Showing up to every
Sullivan Hoop Squad game
Real
The fatherless squad called him Pops
How could I front on real?
Instead of cadillac riding to the parish
You'd see my father perish
Walking in worn down dress shoes
From Hermitage to Glenwood and back
Seminario to the west side and back
And back again
Almost like back was his forward
And decrease was his glory
"A Dios sea la gloria" he would say
"You gotta die to self always
In order to resurrect things"
Perishing
Southside, Pastor Ford
Pulled me to the side
With lion in his eyes
Told me
"Your Jaime's reflection
Don't neglect it"
Honestly, I respected my pops
But inside I wanted bigger things to mess with
Not pastoral stressings
Late night messages
Compassionate counseling sessions
Funeral blessings and Gospel proclamations
Not to mention
Nor little pay grades
And counter American materialism decisions
I wanted life big
Like Big
But Jaime showed me what life is
Big is all the little things
Most don't give
The pennies amounting to a million
After investing a whole life
Give
Philippians two type greatness
Emptiness makes full
Give
The silent leader makes bigger waves
Through persistent ripples
That most big men miss
Live
Small and may God big
Pushing me to reflect on my definition of success
Cause Jaime reflected
God's message of redemption the best
Which left me perplexed
On how few father's are actually Christ-like present
And how I'm undeservingly blessed
So when I look into Zion's eyes
May he see Jaime's reflection
And in so doing see Christ's reality
Death and resurrection
