Dear Hannah,
"Culture" and "tradition" are often misnomers for "this is how we do it, and it ain't changing."
Everything must change, though - and STAY changed.

"Old School"
By Derrick Brown
November 16, 2016
said we need a change
time for somethin 'new
night of prayer
fresh air
now we ready
boo
print the billboards
know what they should say?
"much ado,
bid adieu
to the old
school way"
comin in strong
and leavin no doubt
now it's on
word is bond
what you talm bout?
man we need a crew
couple or a few
seldom heard
never seen
pepper in the stew
get that flavor right
get that game tight
then ignore
every chore
act like it's alright
never own the sleight
be a mighty mite
till they dip
then we'll trip
bury them in spite
kinda wrote a check
that we couldn't cash
upside down
smiley frown
yo - we bout to crash
what about that stash?
need 'em in a flash
recruit anew
say we grew
always keep a cache
burning energy
but the lights still on
hangin in
wafer-thin
till the break of dawn
it goes on and on
got to keep busy
same trail
off rail
that poor dog is dizzy
tryin to catch his tail
he'll succeed and fail
right church
wrong pew
might be time to bail
find a better hustle
find some better muscle
punch drunk
no punk
prepared to tussle
but the battle yo
is with my pride tho
overtold
oversold
tickets to this show
time to fall back
time to rethink
next round
will we sing?
or just lip sync?
Love,
Daddy
Daddy
