Uncle Lem

Merle Haggard

If We Make It Through December

1974

The ladies of the garden club say
His home is just a disgrace to the town
If the Mayor wants re-elected
He'd better pass some laws and tear it down

They wanna cover it with flowers
Maybe even plant some dogwood trees
I guess that they've forgotten
When we were kids what that place used to be

I know it's just a shanty now
But Lord, that place was built with human tears
For it's the home of Uncle Lem
Who was born and raised and lived there ninety years

There's not a boy in this whole town
Hasn't stopped for water at his well
Or sat on his porch in the evenin'
And listened to the stories that he'd tell

Oh, his hair was the color of a cotton field
And his skin was old and brown
And he was born in that rundown shack
Before there was a town

He bought that shack and a piece of earth
For the highest price to pay
His mom was bought and sold there
Uncle Lem was born'd a slave

The mayor and some ladies of the garden club
Went out to tell Uncle Lem that he'd have to find a new place to live
Well, they found him there in that old broken down rockin' chair
And on an old paper bag they found his will

"Nor I wanna leave my old shotgun to the fine mayor of this town
For I remember when he a little fella, he used to follow me around
I wish I had more to give to my friends that I love
But all I've got is this old shack and a piece of earth
And I want it to go to the ladies of the garden club"

Oh, his hair was the color of a cotton field
And his skin was old and brown
And he was born in that rundown shack
Before there was a town

He bought that shack and a piece of earth
For the highest price to pay
His mom was bought and sold there
Uncle Lem was born'd a slave

Next to you, your Lexus coupe,
My four door Bentley, that Dre just sent me
Millionaire boys club, and my wrist freeze,
Me and Jacob got an understanding, I don't spend cheese,
And I don't see no rock on ya hand,
So my question to you is, where's ya man?

The Essential Wu-Tang Clan

2013

I'm gonna just slide in the studio quick 
Yo, yo 
And get this done 

Verse One: Killah Priest 
When you're sexually frustrated, plus waiting for a long time 
You both had strong minds 
Combined with feelings, she seems appealing 
for each other, discreet lover, no longer keeps brothers 
Smothered under deep covers 
Erotic programs, Moet and slow jams 
Enough to make you hold hands 
And plus you a bold man 
You fall in a manhole, where the forbidden tree grow 
And bullshit ego, of fly negro 
Whole garden sour, polluted with a dead flower 
Months later, he's layin on a respirator 
Depending on a generator, to keep his heart moving 
And start losing sight in his right eye 
In weeks he might die 

Verse Two: Raekwon 
Yeah, uh-huh 
I know this dope-fiend cat, word up, his name is Javier 
Part-time shooter sharing needles in the stairs 
Wise guys disguised as a fly guy 
you gettin high right?

Flower Queen sways in the summer wind 
Not a wildflower but she likes to pretend 
All the Queen's people come to tend 
She says she'll run wild in the end  

The Hearts painted her flowers black 
It was an attempted suicide attack 
The Black-Hearted Queen lead the pack 
Flower Queen screams fire back 
Paint the roses red in fact 
Paint the roses red in fact  

The Queen of Clubs dances to an imaginary tune 
She says her life needs rainfall in June 
I will forsake my kingdom soon 
I'm no Queen when I can't fully bloom  

The Hearts painted her flowers black 
It was an attempted suicide attack 
The Black-Hearted Queen lead the pack 
Flower Queen screams fire back 
Paint the roses red in fact 
Paint the roses red in fact  

Everything in the garden is rosy red 
Spade gets a garden spade to the head 
"I didn't ask for this," she said 
The flowers wilt when they should spread 
I'm a fancy houseplant instead 
She was the Court Card that finally fled 
She was the Court Card that finally fled

In a dream
Too bad it was just a dream
The sky was clear
Bluer than it's been in years
I put my rifle down
I could taste the pollen in the air

From a jazz cafe in heaven
I am watching you
Kandahar Social Club
In blue

Out in the fields
And here in our garden
The soil bore
Tall grass and flowers
I could bring in fresh fruit
For my daughters
I washed my face in clear water
And welcomed a new year

From a jazz cafe in heaven
I am watching you
Kandahar Social Club

Pick my flowers all up at the club
Imma bee someone they can love
Pour that cherry liquor
All up on my tongue
Hints of sweet honey
Venus melting on the sun
Woman
Oh I want them
All in the garden
Go fuck the closet
Daisies on the doorstep
Roses in the bed
Hearts grown three sizes
Two shades of deeper red
Lillies in the kitchen
Magnolias in my head
Lilacs on my body
Blossoms on my hands
Woah woah woah
Woah woah woah
Blossoms on my hands
Plant my garden in the front yard
So everyone knows I go hard
Each and every flowers got it's pretty parts
Picking up petals for this heart
Three on two and one on one
I can water five at once
Who knew I had a green thumb
My gardens full of blossoms
Woman
Oh I want them
All in the garden
Go fuck the closet
Daisies on the doorstep
Roses in the bed
Hearts grown three sizes
Two shades of deeper red
Lillies in the kitchen
Magnolias in my head
Lilacs on my body
Blossoms on my hands
Woah woah woah
Woah woah woah
Blossoms
On my hands
Blossoms
On my hands
Blossoms
On my hands
Blossoms
On my hands
Daisies on the doorstep
Roses in the bed
Hearts grown three sizes
Two shades of deeper red
Lillies in the kitchen
Magnolias in my head
Lilacs on my body
Blossoms on my hands
Woah woah woah
Woah woah woah
Daisies
On the doorstep

Hair, gum, dirt, and snow

Kenobi comma Ben mingled the common men
He had the fangs of Gengis Kahn
He had the heart of Gunga Din
Tobacco in the bleachers
Bright confetti everywhere (Weeee)
To celebrate the influx of the topiary bears
And when they infiltrate the picnics with
They limbs inside the honeycombs
They grub up to the oyster club
For shadows of your sunny home
Nobody knows your troubles
Your woes are holy rolling
Cause jungles won't discriminate when
Grossly ever growing
Every blow and every trolling butter bowing
Every soldier, every lawnmower
Motorboats with bends insider their starter
We stock up on the 99 octane and DDT
Like Seymour's little shop in a
Moment of me, me, me
God damn, garden clubs are parkered up
To share spare parts
It sucks for John Deere's and armored trucks
Pardon us, what you put
(push?)

My grandma was born with a green thumb
The self-proclaimed president of the Baptist garden club
She loved her begonia she called ‘the heirloom'

Said “When I die, I might come back whenever it's in bloom”
She winked at me and we both laughed
She blew a kiss and disappeared winding down the garden path                         

On summer break I'd visit clabama
Id asked her why she cared so much about some dumb ole flower 
She said “Someone threw it in the dumpster
cnd I know how it feels to be in the dumps, we understand each other”
She winked at me and we both laughed
She blew a kiss and disappeared winding down the garden path
  
**So I'm driving all the way from California
To get my grandma's 40 year old heirloom begonia
cs soon as I crossed through the doorway
Her house felt so much smaller but somehow just the same 
My mind heard her from the backyard 
I closed my eyes and there she was with the begonia in her arms
She winked at me and we both laughed 
She blew a kiss and disappeared, the begonia left on the path 
                                                    
*So I'm driving all the way from California
To get my grandma's 40 year old heirloom begonia
I never gave a damn about a flower before
But ill do anything to keep her heirloom blooming
If there's a chance she'll come back in the spring

We beg for justice without the will,

It's sad and sour,
It's takes a garden
To raise a flower.

Fight the good fight
and Live good life
Is what I strive for
Found a reason
To give em my heart
I hope you find yours.

The queen of diamonds is dying
In her silver bed of disease
Reverberating cries around her broken neck

The queen of hearts is betraying
Many years of glorious reign
A civil war is better than a king of broken hearts

The queen of clubs is picking flowers
She’s the guardian of the garden
People are struggling for bits of bread and she knows

And the clouds are sliding slow
Over properties and lands
Water mills and trees and hills
While the kings are getting old
The mountain’s covered with snow
Water mills with paddle wheels
Resound with river flows

The queen of spades is in the coffin
After drinking poisoned spirits
Killed by Jack of spades who wanted to succeed her

And the clouds are sliding slow
Over properties and lands
Water mills and trees and hills
While the kings are getting old
The mountain’s covered with snow
Water mills with paddle wheels
Resound with river flows

Gravel roads and round bales
Burn pits and county jails
Archery ranges and tractor lots
Wrap around porches and flower pots
American dreams and cricket noise
Distant soldiers and scrappy boys
Main street bars and corn fields
Dusty boots and long haul wheels
Mile markers and cattail heads
Marshy zones and homemade bread
Rolling hills and tornado alarms
Pigs and livestock and dairy farms
Water wells and a family dog
Orchard fruit and ancient songs
Say la da da da dah
Summer street dance and setting suns
Muddy pickups and a safe of guns
Fringed hems and faded jeans
A dusty barn and broken machines
Asparagus ditches and a country school
Morals ethics and golden rules
Chicken eggs and butchered meat
Dawn to dusk and unpaved streets
Cowboy hats and 4H clubs
Oiled gears and whiskey mugs
Electric fences and cultivators
Nitrogen fertilizer and grain elevators
Vegetable gardens and turkeys carved
Scarecrow fields and midnight stars
Water wells and a family dog
Orchard fruit and ancient songs
Say la da da da dah

Hip wine
Beer wine
Wine dine
Uber ride
Back to my place now
Fuck on me
(OhOhOhOh!)
Saw you in the garden
Senses start to sharpen
Read you like a paper-pen
Wrote you like a bible-sin
Fuck it ima dive in
Deep up in I'm spiralin
Took a breath I'm back again
(Heh heh heh)
Bitch I'm back on 10
Bloom with me
Be my flower
Or my rock
Bond is solid
Stupid sedimentary
(OhOhOhOh!)

Stacking up my money til it towers
Burning up the studio for hours
Always around green like a flower
Make the money dance, Walter Bowser
Stacking up my money til it towers
Burning up the studio for hours
Always around green like a flower
Make the money dance, Walter Bowser
Yeah, I’m gonna make the money dance til it falls

Now y’all be asking for the clout
But sorry bro, we don’t do shoutouts
But shoutout Young Asko
Asko sent the beat, I played that shit right off my trap phone
Omar over here always tryna make a sad song
Made a club banger then I put Omar’s ass on
My girl said it’s her or the music
Now I’m single dropping singles, ain’t that funny
She said leaving her was stupid
I guess she was right cause I got dumb money
My ex was fake, she a dummy
She tried using me for my money
But now I got a new girl and she prefect
I spend my money on her cause she deserve it
Yeah now I’m gonna switch up my flow
When I was in the garden, I threw away my hoe
Yeah, I would speed it up but all y’all too slow
I ain’t no lil yachty so I copped a boat
Stacking up my money til it towers
Burning up the studio for hours
Always around green like a flower
Make the money dance, Walter Bowser
Stacking up my money til it towers
Burning up the studio for hours
Always around green like a flower
Make the money dance, Walter Bowser

She's not the first flower
Only ashes on the garden
Alaska dans l'âme à toutes heures
Change les règles comme Harden
Crésus ou Joe Bidden je veux les connects
Les insignes don't want it close the fucking gate
Putain de black thoughts dans la putain de tête
Better be in action for no regrets
Sur la prod comme sur tokyo
La baby me call
Elle est à Seoul
Veut que je la rejoigne genre illico
Le transfert attendra the missions are mad here
Oeil sur samourai distraction is a kill for real
Donc no time pour cardio
Star dans le club mood Casio
From the hood to the moon no casino
If the way's high mazeltov vas-y gros
But it's not a reason to stop
So I keep running again
From the bottom to the top
In a mission in a train
Unknown is tomorrow
Let me kick it in the moment
Let made it before we go
Let the muse got me pregnant
But it's not a reason to stop
So I keep running again
From the bottom to the top
In a mission in a train
Unknown is tomorrow
Let me kick it in the moment
Let made it before we go
Let the muse got me pregnant
Sur Tokyo

We are the oni 
We are the demons 
We are the lonely
We are the reason 
I am the only 
I leave you bleeding 
Might crush your wind pipe just for the feeling 
I bite like a blade in the cold night 
I might take a life if the moods right 
My knifes gonna sing better move light 
Meeting at the temple we can die in the moonlight 

When the Cherry blossoms fall I will see you in hell 

You ever tangle with a tengu 
Blood red mask lemme show you what I been through 
Nine tallied fox I'm a killer with a kitsune 
Welcome to my garden that I often tend to 
I Pick a flower for you grave then end you 
We lord this land guess what the rents due 
Ain't to hard to find out who sent you 
You can't win this fight with a sword or pencil 
really wanna Live inside the shadows 
We don't go to clubs we  hang out at the gallows 
fog lies low on the shallows 
This crew runs deep in the hallows
So When i see the sunset the trees are blood wet 
You'll need the your best yet to beat me upset 
when leaves have turned red you'll breath your last breath I pray for a good death king of the undead 

When the cherry blossoms fall I will see you in hell

And now I can't feel my face but
I feel her warmth my hands too numb to fill in the cracks
I'm no stranger to hate but
You don't know I'm tryin to save your cold demise b
But you're trapped in a photograph
Memories torn in half
Runnin' to find you but they're trying to hide the path
Couldn't forget the message
Roll it in cigarettes it's
Blowed in my trumpet as I'm feelin my muscle spasm
Calling in sick again
Couldn't control my head
She grab my hand and took me places I've never been
Just go to him instead, damn

Now I'm stuck with the weight of pride
Couldn't control the tide
I lay awake, bout the way that you never cried
We're hanging off the edge
Trimming the garden hedge
They came with peace but you wanted to get revenge
Told me they're all the same
Couldn't control the pain
Sat in her hand and put me top of the wall of shame
Sippin' the aspartame
Couldn't control the shame
Forgot your face but I'd never forget your name
Forgot to hold my tongue
Couldn't control my lungs
And why won't you remember way back when we were young
Flowers and lady bugs
Off of a thousand drugs
She always dancin' in the back of the loudest clubs
Couldn't control the floods

Valentine's Day, we're feeling so blue
We'll have to just walk the empty streets alone
There's nowhere to go and nothing to do
Because nothing's ever open in Dunoon

Dunoon Burgh Hall, Glenfinart Walled Garden
Puck's Glen, they're all shut, no pardon
Cowal Golf Club, Cowal Highland Gathering
Dunoon Film Festival, no films are screening
Beaches and Coastal Walks, we can't explore
Holy Loch Marina, closed door after door
Morag's Fairy Glen, Dunoon Pier
Loch Eck, Kilmun Arboretum, all we hear is fear

Nothings ever open in Dunoon!

It was a cold night, we huddled in your yard
You'd come to walk me out, we didn't get that far
You lamented the sad state of the garden
You'd been meaning to re-seed since god knows when
And as you pondered all the work you'd have to do
Well, right then I just had to plant one right on you
But since you asked what I was thinking
I hope you've grasped at least an inkling

Either kick me out, or kiss me back
But please don't talk, we're way past that
Just let me know, without a word, whether I'll
Fall asleep wanting you, or get no sleep at all

I arrived to pick you up at eight
Per your request, we don't call it a date
Matter fact, we've been not dating for six months
Just screenings for our private art film club
With dinner first, and drinking after it
And during, sharing the same small blanket
Your sofa, Susie, it ain't no IMAX
As for the movie, at least it had a climax

Either kick me out, or kiss me back
But don't try to talk, I can't abide that
'Cuz by now you know the only reason that I'm not
Balls deep in love with you is that isn't what you want

I know I said I would let it go, but
I haven't yet, and you know what, so what
You have a choice, and I'm still waiting
So kill that noise, and start deliberating

I shouldn't go, way I've been drinking
If you must know, no, I wasn't really thinking

Either kick me out, or kiss me back
Those are your options, and that's a natural fact
But first you should know that your flowers have all died
Forget the garden, Sue, you can't bring it inside

But you can kick me out, or you can kiss me back
Either way I'll know if you don't like me like that
But one way you'll know which way you like me most
All in a heap under you, or over you, or both

You found me
Living in my darkness
I was so blind
Then you pulled me to the light
I'm so grateful
I've been watering our garden
Now I'm trimming all of the vines cause
You deserve your flowers
So I brought you a bouquet
You need to relax
So let me pour you some rosè
If you need to shower
I've got lavender klorane
I'll get the knots out of your back
Help you forget about your bags like
Free falling off the deep end
All for ya
I must be dreaming
I can't stop what I'm feeling
Cause I know this is the real thing
Saying you're gorgeous
Saying you're perfect just won't cut it
I'm talking heaven on earth, man I love it
You told me stop cause I'm making you blush
I left all of my exes in the dust
They can stay getting blacked out in the club
I'm focused on you till my heart gives up
And I'm forever humbled that I made the cut
I remember thinking
I was never good enough
Now I'm the only one
Next to you waking up
When you're looking extra cute
Laying in the sun
We should have a photo shoot
We could have some fun
Follow the sound of the violins
Playing your favorite song
I left a trail of some rose petals for you because
You deserve your flowers
So I brought you a bouquet
You need to relax
So let me pour you some rosè
If you need to shower
I've got lavender klorane
I'll get the knots out of your back
Help you forget about your bags like
Free falling off the deep end
All for ya
I must be dreaming
I can't stop what I'm feeling
Cause I know this is the real thing
The real thing baby, yeah
Cause I know this is the real thing
You have me wondering nightly
How did I get so lucky?

Living the good lyfe
Living life without whys
Must be nice
Midwest kids planting flowers all over the glass city and now he's worldwide
With the matching adidas
I wear this linen with pride
EJM1 Oh I thought it was EJMI, that's personal between him and I
Oh Toledo
Jazz in the park
Jazz in my heart
Botanical gardens where me and my daddy took that one walk
He said she said I do
Where my husband and I jumped the broom
Oh Toledo
I can't wait for the day that LadyVice signs a bun @ tony packo's
And maybe just maybe for that day they'll serve tacos
Oh Toledo
When I - yes me
Was a student at Martin Luther King Jr elementary school
On Lawrence not Forest
An elementary not an academy
Where pic gave me my first opportunity to become a working young woman
Oh Toledo
Toledo where it all started
