Big Baby Gandhi - Eulogy lyrics

My uncle only smoked Marlboros I told him put that sh** down They put holes through your throat When I was young loud and rowdy he used to grab me by the throat Lot of ways you was just like my father If he bothered Now that your nephew first pall-bearer of your coffin Think I loved you Call you up too often Hit you up when I was broke Needed a winter coat Had no hope You gave me big bag of dope Said now you'll be your own man With your own gram Don't let my sister hold hands Pay your own phone plan Somebody let Koreans kids know I got the white white But don't let Dominicans know I might go night night Nice price for the ice think I just might never go down without a fight You taught me that When I was about to enlist you fought me back Now I'm so glad I didn't give my life for a country that hates me But I mean they still chewin up they own people up on Main Street What does it mean to lose a loved one Die before your godson Know it's wrong to feel like you're still watching over me Know there's no afterlife but I'mma make you live through my poetry Not dishonest usually an exception for your eulogy Thinking about what used to be You and me Yo I lie to anybody, say you good human being Say never went to jail Never cheated on your wife Prayed five times a day Never ran a red light Yo, I mean, nobody's perfect That's why I always leave a little break in all my verses My aunt's here today she's so strong on the surface Inside I know she's strong like the Earth is If you was here right now you'd call me a b**h Like why you crying in front of all these people Talking about your feelings and sh** You right Come back for a week we do what you like So now I'm grown and I wipe my own tears Buy my own beers Drink my own beers Conquer my own fears
