Sometimes when they visit, I wonder can they me
I'm scratchin' at the box and screamin'
I'm right clearly
I'm so lonely, my one and only prolly took another
That means new daddy and same mother for my babies
Before they grown ladies
I hope they remember me when they're old ladies with their own babies
Carry my memory until it fades away
My mother came to visit me yesterday on my birthday
She laid a single rose on my headstone and said
It ain't been easy tryin to get along since you passed on
I hear it, mama, its been real turmoil
I been scratchin all month tryin to hit top soil
I been workin real hard, but my body feels weak
But I can't die, I'm just too awake to fall asleep
Tell 'em all that I miss 'em and send 'em all of my love
Sincerely from the underground to all of the above
(CHORUS 2x)
Shed tears for me
How long?
They been' prayin' for me
(I'm sendin' love)
Sendin love to all of the above
Whisper to me, I'm all alone in the place
I'm underground but I'm surrounded by grace
And all the faith of my existance, see
Lives on in the face of my seed and I can see it when he visits me
But I'm a father of the ground, now
Family to the earth and I'm sorry that I'm gone now
Kiss your mother on the cheek and tell her
I understand why she still don't speak
Even though I'm in this coffin I get haunted
By the shreiks and the sounds of bloody murder
All the night, and I'm freaked out
Now its peace out cuz I pulled the piece out
Put it in my mouth and blew my motherfuckin' teeth out
I reached out, but nobody reached back
And no, it's not an excuse, but its the reason that I'm trapped
Everything's black and hard to breathe
Exactly like the life that I was tryin' to leave
(CHORUS 2x)
Ya know I hate to see a grown man cry
Sometimes my homies stop by
They're smokin joints and gettin the high spirit
If they could only know I hear it when they cough
Hear it when they talk, and scream when they get ready to take off
Peace, ya'll. Bring a shovel next time
Cuz it's cold down here and this dirt is a thick line between
Life and death, it appears I have nothing left
But the person never forgets just like a ghost in transit
I watch 'em move like bandits when they rob my corpse
And then they left me on the porch as a prep for the divorce
And now I'm back in a black bag on a gurney at the morgue
On a flat slab, hopin' the journey will bring me home
Isnt that sad
Then I won't say no more
And let you think about me everytime you hear this flow
They put me back in my coffin and they lowered me down
And ever since then it seems like nobody done come around
(CHORUS 4x)
