[Intro]
"We loved him as a brother, as a father, and as a son. From his parents and from his older brothers and sisters he received an inspiration which he pa**ed on to all of us. He gave us strength in time of trouble, wisdom in time of uncertainty, and sharing in time of happiness. He will always be by our side..."
[Verse 1: Madrox]
Sometimes, when they visit, I wonder, "Can they hear me?"
I'm scratching at the box and screaming out quite clearly
I'm so lonely, my one and only probably took another
That means new daddy and same mother for my babies, before they grown ladies
I hope they remember me when they old ladies with their own babies
Carry my memory until it fades away
My mother came to visit me yesterday on my birthday
She laid a single rose on my head stone and said
"It ain't been easy trying to get along since you've pa**ed on"
I hear it momma, it's been real turmoil
I've been scratching all month, trying to hit top soil
I've been working real hard, but my body feels weak
Well I can't die, I'm just too awake to fall asleep
Tell 'em all that I miss them and send it with all my love
Sincerely from the underground, to all of the above
[Hook: Everybody]
Shed tears for me
How long
They've been praying for me
Also, I'm sending love to all of the above
[Verse 2: Monoxide]
I gotta whisper to me, we're all alone in a place
I'm underground and I'm surrounded by grace
And all the faith in my existence, see
Lives on and the face of my seed
And I can see it when he visits me
But I'm a father of the ground now
Family to the earth and I'm sorry that I'm gone now
Kiss your mother on the cheek
And tell her I understand why she still don't speak
Even though I'm in this coffin I get haunted by the streets
And the sounds of bloody murder roam the night that I freaked out
Now its peace out cause I pulled the piece out
Put it in my mouth and blew my motherf**ing teeth out
I reached out but nobody reached back
And no, it's not an excuse, but it's the reason that I'm trapped (inside here)
And everything is black and hard to breathe
Exactly like the life that I was trying to leave
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Madrox]
You know I hate to see a grown man cry
Sometimes my homies stop by
They're smoking joints to get me high in spirit
If they could only know that I hear it
When they cough, hear em when they talk
And scream for them to stay every time they get ready to take off
Peace ya'll, bring a shovel next time
Cause it's cold down here and this dirt is a thick line
Between life and d**h, it appears I have nothing left
But the person never forgets just like a ghost in transit
[Verse 4: Monoxide]
I watch 'em move like bandits when they rob my corpse
And then they left me on the porch as a prep for the divorce
And now I'm back in a black bag on a gurney at the morgue
On a flat slab, hoping the journey will bring me home, isn't that sad?
Then I won't say no more
And let you think about me every time you hear this flow
They put me back in my coffin and they lowered me down
And ever since then, it seems like nobody'll come around
[Hook x2]
