Lyrics:
the gravedigger
Jeremiah had worked here for years
Already had one foot in the grave
With my help we got in the other
I can't believe, he wasn't stronger
Sad reminders of what seems years ago
Warm southern sun shines through
Station wagon windows like solar energy
And when in the night your brother
give a fuck
I'm strapped up and on parole, I gotta fight to stay out of the penn
The same shit happened last year, here I go again
[Mr.
news for the projects
Carried the weight for his mom's operation
25 years workin for the train station
Cause he was black the community reacts
Summer
Anyway it doesn't matter much how you feel
You know what you got to do I'm here to do it
How about you?
Our age five years old
We were
He used to let me go to church with him
He was a son of the south
My other grand pappy ran a moonshine still
Up in the woods high on a hill
He
watch these fools get hurt
Have you more confused than a Christian reading a bible in a Muslim church
Come down to earth, now ask yourself is worth
Losing
as lust
I was confused first to see a church
on this hell on earth
But it was them fools first to took earth
for what it was worth
I was raised in
will (Sho' 'nuff), listen
Now we've been shackin' up since '93
I ain't gettin' no younger, I need some guarantee
The best years of my life is
officer
Fuck with me, fuck with her, live and learn
Open ears, corporate fears, golden years
Gone
Destroy and rebuild destroy or be killed
Wipe me off
Church struggle
Damn I feel like Elvis Presley dog
Paparazzi poppin' shit
So many flashes in my face
I fell off in a diamond pit
I'm drippin' sweat
show, they sung my shit in unison like church songs
Ask about me, green off of brown like earth tones
I turn that to a eighty point split once the merch
this conversation for years but you won't listen,
Damn, are you that plain ignorant? your so indignant,
Please come off that high chair your sitting in,
the same
This old place wont be the same
The mad mad world won't start to spin
Until we learn to speak in unison
Even in church I found a way to sin
The mad
run
And the motorcycle shop I work at
Is closing down this year
I was sold a dream on TV screens
By parties full of jerks
While an alien from
on the way to the mall
Weekdays I'm an RN down at Kaiser
Weekends at church I'm a youth adviser
Just because I'm doing good I can't forget my roots
I can
grandma still keep her head up in church
Murder rate sky-high, employment is real low
Little kid try to rap, but will he get a deal? No
'Cause poverty
Lord, please forgive me for my sins."
My wife wanted to kill me, but she tried to save me first
"You're goin' if I have to drag your butt to church."
I
the pain
They gave him thirty-five years
His momma went insane
[Chorus x 2]
[Lil' Flip]
Ghetto mind state!
Coming up with no father figure
I
And every steeple
In the three church town
Was ringing with shame
People whispered like rain
Of the baby but no wedding gown
So climb aboard,
sound reckless
But I got a loan on a brand new Lexus in Texas
If I'm lying I'm dying, everybody was color blind
Went to church and I gotta admit
Walked
bound
A church bell ringing in the fading light
Stops you dead like a cold steel wall
The ghost of yesteryear's is toughing you
And as sure as God
to take me to church so I could put money in the basket
Tell the preacher how she used to get her ass kicked
And me, I mastered the art of hatred
After
Achnatten
And run up in the Vatican church
Without a stocking
I say this verse with honesty for the poverty
But we've been kings since
The Histo's dynasty
