1.Emotion
'I wish that I had been there to hold you when you passed from
life to＊
death, but I guess it was meant to be that way：you were always
alone.
I hope you were not scared. You're in a better place now with
the Lord, that
we love, and you are whole. I miss you. I'll never forget you. I
love you
yesterday, today, and forever. Love always, your daughter.'
Why does God let good people suffer, and bad people prosper？
My grandma loved me more than anybody on this planet
She let me know it and I think that's why she landed
The way she lived was just a little bit different now
Call her crazy, diagnosed schizophrenic, Wow
She was a patient at a hospital for most her life
And when she wasn't she was fuckin' with somebody's life
She used to lock my mama in the basement for no reason
The same basement we made meats in and peace in
If that's all I ever got from her I loved her for it
But it's not, she always thought that Cory was the purest
She built me up and let me know it like I needed to
Grandma I learned from you and also how they treated you
They would pump you full of drugs like you was a horse
So many drugs you ain't never coming home for sure
Now when we visit, are you lying？ Are you telling the truth？
Grandpa ain't the enemy, he just didn't know how to deal with
you
I guess what's out of sight is out of mind
I know it's true because that's how I kept you out of mine
Your body was strong though
You was in it for the long haul, on call, waitin' for God to
take you
Devil tryin' to break you but you never let up
Just recited that Bible to the end, you was tough
Your life was rough, and your pain was real
You hurt for us, and now I know the deal
You had cancer, Parkinson's, arthritis
Non-stop shakin' you couldn't fight shit twenty-plus years
This verse is not enough for what you went through, and what you
meant to
Brings to me tears
You helped me be who I am today
You live inside of this man I pray
Forgive me I ran away, I know you understand though
Because we all live for a reason, one of yours was thought to
grow
(faint) Thanks
My earliest memory of you was in the ocean tides
The current pulled me under the water up above my eyes
I was a little guy, just a little shy, my younger days
Lookin' at you and it makes me wander the beach just like you;
phase it
Last the song： you was the strongest person that I knew
Growing up thinking I was stunted every time I grew
You put a red notch on the doorway in the laundry room
Making you proud was the main achievement I pursued
And when I quit and threw in the towel, man it ripped me up
To see the look on your face when you came to class to pick me
up
Now I see you just wanted me to follow through
A lesson in life that's more important than to follow you
I remember that time in life： that warehouse, you were workin'
nights
Two men came in to rob the place and almost took your life
You showed them pictures of your son and daughter： 'Let me live'
The cry you must've gave while staring down a 12-guage
And for a moment in time they put you in a birdcage
And for that moment in time you didn't have a word to say
Playing catch with you in the backyard were the funner times
Runnin' around the baseball diamond were the funnest times
And I remember the word 'divorce' scorched my corpse for remorse
Where the fighting in the hallway and the slamming door now I'm
seeing you
On the weekend forever for, but that's the score
Now that's a common day occurrence, in the United States
The love was lost, but now it's found again for you to stay
And now you're working every day to get that mortgage paid
Blue collar to the bone
Spend your days away from home
Wish today would be the one
Twist a greater beamin' sun
Make my way and be your son
Pay your way until your done
That's a goal in life, for real
I want you, Dad, to know the deal
Workin' ya fingers to the bone
Just to spend a night at home
And no, I don't regret the way
Our relationship has played across the board and on the stage
That's how you love every time I spray my words across the USA
And who's to say： This is the right way
To love the people you love the way you love 'em
Fuck the money
In a funny situation
In the past
Father and son's love last
You helped me be who I am today
You live inside of this man, I pray
That I could make you understand that I love you, all the way
All the way
2.No More Greener Grass
No more greener grass＊
Love what you got or you lose what you have
There's no more greener grass
Just stay steady on your path, hey
No more greener grass
Love what you got or you lose what you have
There's so much more to grab
Just stay steady on your path, hey
I feel like I'm in high school again
Trapped in the nerd stable
Watchin' the jocks floss at the cool table
They rockin' and they got signed to cool labels
I'm jockin' and I got signed to a fool's fable
That Pigeon John is the bomb
Is that why I'm lookin' for part time work with Joey The Jerk？
At Trader Joes
Another brick in the wall I suppose
That I chose a profession and a life on the road
Slangin'
Like a travelin' salesman
But instead of vacuums I'm sellin' packed rooms and my CD
That's when I see these niggas blingin' in 3D
Makin' it quite hard not to envy
Every time I flip through Urb magazine
I see all my friends blowin' up and turn green
They don't deserve it more than I do
And that's the kind of thinkin' that will begin to kill you
No more greener grass
Love what you got or you lose what you have
There's no more greener grass
Just stay steady on your path, hey
No more greener grass
Love what you got or you lose what you have
There's so much more to grab
Just stay steady on your path, hey
Well, I'm not tryin' to chase a mirage
Or play like, 'Hey, we got it made', I got evil to dodge
Don't need my ego massaged
Just my feet and my back, now go deep with the job
Complex inventions can make your life simple
I'm stranded in the thick of the fields, feel the winds blow
Ten toes plus fingers, your straight
Keep your stinkin' ass off my grass, life's great
I might say it different if I wasn't so happy
So happy I'm different I might say it to catch me
My whole world's a crop circle
Green as can be
Communicate with Venus cause a he needs a she
And she needs what I got and I got it to give
I'll pot it and push it minus preservatives
Deservin' this？ Well, you decide for yourselves
No fungus among us, abundance of wealth now
No more greener grass
Love what you got or you lose what you have
There's no more greener grass
Just stay steady on your path, hey
No more greener grass
Love what you got or you lose what you have
There's so much more to grab
Just stay steady on your path, hey
Greener and greener and greener it grows
