Graveyard
D.N.K. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been
Waking up at four in the morning
For no apparent reason
And I can't go back to sleep, I'm ashamed that
I ain't done the things I haven't done yet
All these years and wasted seasons, oh

And I hated the way I looked
But I went out anyway
And I met you at the bar
And you held me in your arms and you said
"Baby, don't look so worried
Don't be in such a hurry
'Cause we all know where we're going"

There's a place out there fit for kings and queens
And the sun shines beautifully in the springtime
We'll all own our little piece
We'll get there eventually
The graveyard

The graveyard

And I grew up
Replaced the monsters under my bed
With all these monsters up in my head
And I've been thinking 'bout how I can't afford
To buy a house the way my father did
When he was my age he was having kids, oh
What the fuck am I doing?

I hated the way I looked
But I went out anyway
And I met you at the bar
And you held me in your arms and you said
"Baby, don't look so worried
Don't be in such a hurry
'Cause we all know where we're going"

There's a place out there fit for kings and queens
And the sun shines beautifully in the springtime
We'll all own our little piece
We'll get there eventually
The graveyard

The graveyard

The neighborhood's open
There's a spot waiting for you
With a stone mailbox and your name carved
Some green, green grass
So stop and smell the roses
Right down the road from where you are

There's a place out there fit for kings and queens
And the sun shines beautifully in the springtime
We'll all own our little piece
It's all good, we'll get there eventually
The graveyard





The graveyard

I’m working hard to provide for my loved ones


Get my game face on ‘cause I play hard
I’m ready to face any challenge head-on


Got my eyes on the crown gotta stay sharp
I’m determined to be the best and stay focused


In a room, filled with darkness started to see a light
I’m finding hope in a difficult situation


Saw a glimpse of hope, felt my heart burning inside
I’m feeling inspired and motivated


Thinkin’ bout where I was a year ago, it's crazy how fast things can change
I’m reflecting on my progress and amazed at how quickly life can change


Life will never be the same it's insane
My life has transformed and it’s surreal


Took a leap of faith, an opportunity finally awaits
I’ve taken a risk and am hoping for success


All y’all do is trash talk and hate
My critics only have negative things to say


I don’t come here to play
I’m serious about my goals and won’t let anyone stand in my way


Ain’t going nowhere, I’m here to stay
I’m committed to my path and won’t give up


All I see is nightmares in my dreams
I’m haunted by my fears and doubts


I’m just tryna make a mill like meek
I’m striving for financial success like Meek Mill


God bless our souls
A plea for divine protection


I’m goin’ beast mode like CR7 wit the goals
I’m channeling my inner animal and working towards my goals like Cristiano Ronaldo


2020 got me lookin’ at things from a different point of view
The events of 2020 have changed my perspective


And reassess my life’s purpose
I’m reflecting on my goals and life direction


In order to win, I had to play my cards right
I had to make strategic moves to achieve success


Imma man on a mission
I’m focused on my goals and determined to succeed


I remembered when y’all used to make fun of me back then
I recall being ridiculed in the past


No one really fucked with my vision
Few believed in my goals


Made it through the struggle, all those nights I suffered
I persevered through tough times and overcame adversity


Reached out for a helping hand no one even bothered (No)
I sought assistance but was met with apathy


Mama always told me son no matter how hard it seems
My mother taught me to never give up in difficult times


Don’t you ever give up on your dreams
A reminder to stay committed to my goals


I hear voices in my head tellin’ me to do what’s right
I have inner intuition guiding my decisions


The fire in me has never burned so bright
I’m feeling particularly driven and passionate


No excuses this time
I’m focused on success and won’t let anything get in the way


Never goin’ down without a fight
I’ll persevere through any obstacle


‘Til the day I die
I’ll continue striving for my goals until death


Going crazy in my zone
I’m immersed in my work and focused on success


Watch out ‘cause El Rey’s takin’ over the throne
I’m claiming my place as king and challenging the status quo


Going below, going below, going below (Graveyard)
I’m ready to face my challenges and enemies head-on

shout out to the worker who had the morals, character, integrity, empathy, and sympathy to notify the family when this occurred. It doesnt matter how often you handle caskets and bodies, you treat them with dignity- as if it was your own grave site. Let it slide and they think they get a pass.

As if I were your loved one's!! That was someone's son. A severe level of psychopathic behavior and a kin to taking someone's life. Pathetic people.

Simon r

As someone who has worked many years in the UK funeral industry I can say for certain that I totally agree with everything that you have said in your comment on here. I alway's alway's told everyone that worked with me that you only get one chance of doing this the right way with respect and dignity, there's No do-overs when laying a loved one to rest.

@Simon r its even worse though. He was already buried. I can't believe this is happening in America. This particular area is running rampant with misconduct especially in the handling of the deceased. It is bizarre to think that these things go on anywhere in the world.

"Let the dead bury their own dead"
- Jesus

This literally means let the spiritually dead worry about the physically dead that they're attached to.

I worked in a cemetery for years. People asked at times to be buried in a family plot that was already full. (12) bodies in the plot. They said, “there can’t be anything left after all these years.” In old graves with no vaults there is only some wood, metal and a few bones left. I’ve dug graves next to an old grave in a family plot. You can see a faint line about a 1/2 thick of color. That’s all that’s left of the body and coffin after all those years. Basically nothing, the ground sinks and we added more dirt to the surface to keep it level. The vaults, are so the ground doesn’t sink when the coffin collapses. Although a new grave will sink for 3 years as it settles. I’ve seen vaults that have broken open under ground. I’ve smelt the body juices and embalming fluid that will run out of a cracked vault when we dug in the grave next to it. I’ve been in double deep graves with the sides of vaults on both sides of me and on each end. N,S,E,W around you. I guarantee the vault broke open from ground water seeping in and the casket deteriorated. They picked up the pieces and put them in a new vault. Although we never put any deteriorated coffins in new vaults. I’ve dug bodies up to move them at the behest of family. I’ve moved whole vaults and just bodies. I’ve seen skulls, bones, bits of clothing and metal. I used to think being buried was some what respectful and clean. It’s not. I am going to be cremated. I don’t want to be under groundwater while my coffin deteriorates. I remember a girl whose mother was buried in the winter. A winter grave will sink a few feet by spring. She swore someone desecrated her mother’s grave. She wouldn’t listen to anything. She thought she was an expert on burying people all of a sudden.

I had a friend, God rest his soul, who worked in a grave yard back in the 80s. He told me similar stories. Being a graveyard worker is no fun.
There’s turnover and I don’t just mean employment.🤦🏻‍♂️
