Straight up, c'mon Bub, I need you man
Yo, Straight up y'all
Yo Ghost I love you man
You know how we do this right here
We do this for our family
See you soon kid
(Verse One)
The greatest thing a kid could have
To chill with his family, sit back layin on his Dad
Props go out, next thing you know Pops roll out
Moms cussed him out, get the fuck out
Couldn't understand it, feelings turnin to hard granite
Now she a one single parent
Growin up on welfare, she might need healthcare
That made me feel no one else cares
Moms is a part of my life forever<

I recognized the writing on the plain white envelope.
I wondered where she'd wind up before she called or wrote.
The answer's in a circle, with the word 'love' on a stamp
postmarked Birmingham.
I'd have bet on California, 'cause her sister's in Bel Aire.
Or I could see Seattle, with her mom and dad up there.
She never mentioned Alabama, so I don't understand
postmarked Birmingham.
A two page letter written on Ramada stationary,
dated April twenty-two.
She asks me not to hate her, says she's sorry

it's gonna swallow me whole
the ground'll open up and in I'll fall
down down down
mama set me up with a fine young thing
and he was gonna buy me everything
but he grabbed the hook and took out for deep water
and pretty soon that fish - he pulled me in
it's gonna follow me home
somewhere in the shadows there's a place for me
in the cold cold ground
trouble's right behind me there's hard times ahead
the devil's got his hammer he's poundin' on my bed
lost most my money I'm on my last hand
I'm knockin' at hell's door with no weapon and no plan

I'm standing barefoot
lost in the tall grass
a place so quiet
it's as if I were never born
the clouds are leaving
beneath the setting sun
watch out for her
she can give you dreams
she didn't know I saw her
kneeling by the water
her mother always fought her
didn't love her daughter
she didn't know I saw her
waiting by the river
I wish her gone
so I can want her back
she is my laugh
I am her laughter
I am her face
and she is mine
I want to join her
but I cannot move
now together
I cannot lose
