The Wake - Billy Woods.mp3

[00:00.000] 作曲 : F. Porter for The Happiest Africans (SESAC)
[00:11.793] I stand in this booth in a moment we call now
[00:14.161] At the same time, pedaling to school as a child
[00:17.191] Under a canopy of jacarandas, it ain't changed much
[00:20.449] Colorful trees still surround us, L's get touched
[00:23.158] Baby-faced, staring out the window of a school bus
[00:26.955] Twenty years later, same wistful look but shackled up
[00:30.275] Bearded down, Momma kissed his forehead good luck
[00:33.720] Tears anoint the crown
[00:34.877] He lied to her anyway and toasted that night over pounds
[00:38.371] Sterling, whispers in whirlwinds
[00:41.258] Polaroid pictures, edges curling
[00:43.777] At the auction, the contents of one storage space, sight unseen, going once
[00:48.863] Sixteen, seventeen, cracking Philly Blunts
[00:51.966] Half the smarts, but twice the heart
[00:54.164] Look at the picture, eyes had a spark
[00:56.363] Sputtering, at the bar mutterin'
[00:58.735] Money comes and goes
[01:00.020] Broke today, but tomorrow who knows?
[01:02.512] Ten years ago she was just some hoe, five years after that, I'm in love
[01:07.164] And if you asked me today, I could give a ****
[01:09.629] Go figure
[01:11.080] Ahhhhh
[01:12.051] Ahhhhh
[01:20.833] Ahhhhh
[01:26.653] Ahhhhh
[01:32.036] Sorry I ain't make the wake, yeah I know
[01:35.124] A dollar short and 24 hours late
[01:37.210] Tryna live my whole life in '98
[01:39.610] Your moms watchin' me clean my plate
[01:41.769] But there ain't no seconds, I'm at the ATM emptying my checking
[01:45.399] I'm eleven years old firing a weapon
[01:48.050] Dad's hand on my shoulder, smoke in my nose
[01:50.825] Got older, went from chocolate to dro
[01:53.758] Now if it ain't flight, it's a no go
[01:55.810] Bigger, Faster, Stronger
[01:57.663] I seen old friends start working with the po-po, just goes to show
[02:02.036] I could go back tell myself everything I know
[02:05.167] But me at 23 would probably shrug a shoulder
[02:07.957] Put stoge to fire like you're preaching to the choir
[02:10.987] V-Mega was spitting through the wire
[02:13.193] Like, don't even wet that, it ain't about no get-back
[02:16.684] We doing digits on Route 90
[02:18.863] Late for your wedding
[02:19.970] Sitting in the morning sun with that good Otis Redding
[02:23.611] Common sample
[02:24.207] Th-th-th-this music
[02:27.257] Th-th-this music
[02:28.732] I-i-is so much
[02:31.847] I-i-is so much bigger than me
[02:36.147] B-b-b-bigger than me
[02:38.965] B-b-bigger than me
[02:42.718] Th-th-th-this music
[02:45.802] Th-th-this music
