Momma, I sold my birthright
"I was a walking heartache" (Dave Barnes, 2010)
Left home to manifest and birth my blessings
With a hard head and hard times comes many lessons
A few Angels occasionally interceded on my behalf
Reminisce now about those years shake my head and laugh
It didn't take long to see failure was imminent
Sold the one thing I had of value in a single incident
Won't bore with details of why that was a huge blunder
Miscalculation, oversight, erroneous bumbler
During one of several episodes of alcoholic discontent
Reached out to my family, word to my mother sent
Enlightened her of the aforementioned preposterous insolence
Expected prodigal son on the contrary was met with dissonance
Parting with your birthright looks different for everyone
Redemption is always possible so just hold on
It cannot be sold, not yours to begin with
You have title but no deed so selling is a myth
A loan against it on the other-hand can be short or long
If you find yourself in this position just stay strong
Your maturity date is coming so just hold on
