Scott Free
Written entirely and exclusively by Sean Little

Verse one

January nineteen nineteen eighty-one
First day for their first born baby son
Pop twenty Ma twenty-one crazy young
Plus it was a mistake that can’t be undone
Pop planned an escape but he stayed didn’t run
Second son born un-to the same situation
Parents hustling marriage is crumbling
Couldn’t bear with each other
So they just said **** it then
Two boys single mother and a lot of stress
Family without Father’s a mess
Scott came to be my rock my god and my best
And the only one who I’m trying to impress
Yet, he was alone broken heart from a broken home
Searching for love, which most of us don’t
Find this time I’ma do what the song say
Cause I know we’ve come a long long way, yeah

Chorus One

Pardon me brother
While you stand in your glory
I know You won’t mind if I tell the whole story
(repeat once)

Verse Two

Now I know You won’t mind if I tell it correct
Whenever I was alone I always felt I was less
You got kicked out of Mom’s but I felt that You left
So I tried mimicking you and I failed my attempts
Kept trying more and more
When I got kicked out you drove from the corner store
Gathered all I owned moved next door to yours
New house but with you I was sure secure
That was ninety-nine when I developed your habits
You thoughts it was cool when I said I was rapping
When through some phases switched schools graduated By then Mary Jane was no longer my favorite
I got involved in the ministry
You almost got hauled off to penitentiary
Scott and Sean was the definition of simile
I was set tripping when you said you wanna mimic me
Guess little brother had grown
Made big brother proud now big brother longed
For the scandalous love that can set a man free
He looked me in the eyes and said
“I want that man to be me”

Chorus Two

Pardon me brother
While you stand in your glory
I know You won’t mind if I tell the whole story
(repeat once)

Verse Three

Now I refuse to pull the wool over your eyes
Play you for the fool or try and disguise
Paint a pretty view apply it with lies
So I can make him pretty cool and deny how he died Scott was an addict wasn’t proud to say so
Confessed his sin on his knees that April
Enjoyed forgiveness claimed by the faithful
Died of an overdose and taken by the angels
To Paradise, allow me to clarify
How a drug addict is saved from hell
And inherits heaven when he can’t save himself
From his own devices
Lord knows he wasn’t righteous
But are we anymore than he is?
Middle class American fresh from the cleaners
Impressed by our leaders we’ll eat anything they feed us Yet deny the God who made us with his features
And died to teach us
Hypocrites liars and cheaters
No one is innocent in any sense
Many men can’t believe this
But if you can receive this and rest in Jesus

Chorus three

Pardon me brother
While you stand in your glory
I know You won’t mind if I tell the whole story
(repeat once)
