Cemetery Walks
Lyrics
It's a new energy, innit?
What you know about cemetery walks? (uh)
Cemetery talks to the gravestone but the gravestone don't talk (woah)
I'm alone with my thoughts (uh)
'Member that day up in court, got sent down
Now I'm doin' tours, from the porch to the Porsche
Last hug with my mum was in the morgue (uh)
No carriage, no horse
I was broke then
Only done what I could afford
Real to the core
Yeah, we give thanks to the Lord
Straight pain, another page from this article (another page)
Memory lane in this article (memory lane)
Chapter one, with my mum in the carnival (yeah, it's real)
Chapter two, back to school days (uh)
I had to make a belt from a shoelace (what?)
But now my jewels bust down, Thotiana, like I'm Blueface (ah)
Doomsday every Tuesday (what?)
HMP with a roommate (for real)
Pictures on the wall stuck with toothpaste (of my daughter)
Chapter three, flashback back to '08 (ah)
Family's nice, no one's died, yeah, it's all great (nice)
I know you want more, here's chapter four, how did I get by? (ah, how?)
Three months between my mum and dad died
Yeah, my melon was fried, I was really outside (ah)
How the fuck did I survive?
I'ma tell you in chapter five
What you know about cemetery walks? (uh)
Cemetery talks to the gravestone but the gravestone don't talk (woah)
I'm alone with my thoughts (uh)
'Member that day up in court, got sent down
Now I'm doin' tours, from the porch to the Porsche (uh)
Last hug with my mum was in the morgue
No carriage, no horse (what, what)
I was broke then
Only done what I could afford
Real to the core
Yeah, we give thanks to the Lord
Chapter five, I was sleepin' in a robbed car (yeah game)
Why? Because they repossessed my mum's yard (real pain)
Had metal 'round me like a scrapyard (real pain)
Up early in the morning, had to trap hard (yeah, I did)
Chapter six, not a pot to piss (facts)
No crib, no money, I was beggin' lifts (mad)
Lick a move, blow, chase, bare adrenaline (gone)
Nowhere to stay at night, I was dreading it
Chapter seven, is there a place really called Heaven?
'Cause if there is, why did you take my queen from my present? (Why did ya?)
Chapter eight, when your fam hates (uh)
They'd rather see you in a bad place
They hate behind your back but they smile up in your damn face (that's fake)
Chapter nine, I ask God for blessings (uh)
More lessons and he locked off a whole section
Chapter ten, I can't wait to see my mum again
About cemetery walks?
Cemetery talks to the gravestone but the gravestone don't talk (woah)
I'm alone with my thoughts (uh)
'Member that day up in court, got sent down
Now I'm doin' tours, from the porch to the Porsche (uh)
Last hug with my mum was in the morgue (what)
No carriage, no horse
I was broke then (uh)
Only done what I could afford
Real to the core
Yeah, we give thanks to the Lord
This pain brought anthems (pain)
Fame still a madness
How the fuck am I unhappy in a mansion? (how?)
Mum ain't ever saw success, she was stressed from the badness
I said this fame still a madness
This pain brought anthems (pain)
Fame still a madness
How the fuck am I unhappy in a mansion? (how?)
Mum ain't ever saw success, she was stressed from the badness
I said this fame still a madness (ah)
