Funeral
Potluck Lyrics

Your funeral nothin is fo sho no one ever noes when it's time to go
The uncertainty of death and how we can never be sure when our time is up.

I lived life without worry while haters comin to hurt me
Living life with a carefree attitude despite the presence of people who are looking for chances to bring harm.

I was sent on a visious mission I'm hopin you heard me
Being on a mission filled with violence and hoping that others are aware of it.

I disguised it with blunts livin life around sluts
Trying to cover up the harsh reality of the mission and living a wild lifestyle.

and while the haters be jealous then be all on our nutz
Attracting negative attention from envious people and constantly being harassed by them.

it's enough of the madness I am smokin at the funeral
Trying to cope with the madness by smoking during a funeral.

I'm a bum I'm a drunk I'm a stoner just like you
Relating to others who share the same lifestyle and habits.

high school I was fourteen had blunts from alabama
Starting a wild and rebellious lifestyle early on in high school.

believe it I had such a bangin war all about santa fightin with the essays on every other thursday
Fighting with different groups in school and always engaging in rebellion.

day class was next to that and my skin was hershay never goona be a bitch
Not fearful of danger and always standing up for oneself to the point of being unapologetically masculine.

the game taught me never snitch momma said never go broke over a bitch
Learning from the 'game' that snitches and those who put too much emphasis on romantic relationships usually get in trouble.

tried to live on tight pay do everything the right way
Trying to live with meager resources while doing everything in a morally upright way.

hitch hiking on survival I had to ride the devils highway god will you forgive me come down and save my soul
Living life on the edge and acknowledging one's mistakes before it's too late to ask for forgiveness and salvation.

death is here today don't got another day to go
Knowing that death can come unexpectedly and taking each day as if it's one's last.

I was nothin depressed contipatin suicide so down on my self sometimes I wanted to die
Feeling worthless and suicidal in the past due to self-esteem issues.

then when I learned to make music all my pain just went away
Discovering that making music was a therapeutic outlet for all the pain and issues one faced in the past.

I tried to live right by treating people with respect I tried to spread peace like when the hippies protest
Trying to live a life of kindness and peace, much like the hippies of the past.

I tried to live my life happy without steppin on your toes
Trying to live a life of happiness without getting in the way of others.

I could keep a secret I can make you feel worth it
Being good at keeping secrets and giving others a sense of self-worth and importance.

I can make you feel special and I made it my purpose
Taking pride in making others feel special and meaningful in life.

because I know what it's like when your feeling down and alone no where to go parents fightin so I don't wanna go home
Being able to relate to others who feel lonely and helpless because of family issues.

not a snake I stay humble never cold to another but now it's my time to go like the snow in the summer
Being a humble and accommodating person, but acknowledging that death is imminent and will come when it's time.

so when I'm gone like king kong put the purple in the bong don't be sad I was glad we had class singin along
Encouraging people to celebrate and not be sad with a nod to smoking and listening to music as a form of commemoration.

it's over now my dead bodies layin on the ground
Accepting that it's over now and realizing that one's physical body is now lifeless and still.

Bless me father please o let it all be a bad dream I want me back in the casket with the ceiling above me
Pleading to a higher power to make everything just a bad dream and wanting to go back to the peaceful confines of being in a casket.

I'm emotionless and there's no sickness alows no bullshit so my hands are crossed in this box I'm stuck in
Being free from emotions and sickness, but being in a limited and confined space of a box.

talking and voices are familier to me at a distince but as they become closer they grow in clarity speakin about buring me with my headstone to mark my memory
Hearing voices and familiar people in the distance, but as they come closer, they become clearer and more clear about the plans for the funeral and burial.

I hear them crying and they won't let go it doesnt make it easy when you can't return
Hearing people cry and being aware that they do not want to let go of one's physical presence.

still I had so many things to learn and teach the listiners who would listen with such a love and conviction
Acknowledging that there's still so much to learn and teach even after death, as long as people are willing to listen with love and conviction.

now my vision is a double wide auto with velvid interior with the polly cotton pillow to rest my head upon when my spirit is gone
Seeing a grandiose vision of a car after death, complete with comfortable features that will put at ease the spirit.

and thinkers above my body there a quior singing a song
Having an elaborate funeral with intellectuals above the body and a choir singing a song in commemoration.

Think there's alot a light so since I die tonight I'll find out if I was right I hope I get to make it up in tell I can fly and if if I don't I'll go to hell just know that I'm alright so keep it burnin bright
Thinking that there's a lot of light and that dying tonight is a gateway to finding out if this belief is right or wrong. Hoping to be able to fly to prove this, and if not, being okay with that.

I know the devils been tring to get with me fo some years in different forms and different people swear to god there my peers and they tore me into pieces
Acknowledging that the devil has been a presence for years now, manifesting in different people and forms, even peers.

my last vision is here and there's nothin you can do to me to make it dissapear
Having a final vision and accepting that nothing can be done to make it go away.

even know you sittin at my funeral starin at my casket and my legasy lives on and to this day I'm never laughin
Seeing people staring at the casket during the funeral, and acknowledging the legacy that will live on. However, still not finding anything funny.

now you leanin next to me cryin lookin me right in my face trying to wait hopin it's all just a mistake and I awake all because your prayers and your faith forever I'm locked in your soul for the music I make
Seeing people mourning and trying to hold onto hope and faith that it's just a mistake. The legacy and influence lives on in people's souls.

if you wait for me here I'll be back with a grin and we can sit back and live it all over again remember.
Leaving one final message that if waited for, one will be back with a smile to reminisce on the memories shared together.

what will they say up at my funeral when I go who will know I lived it to the limit takin every turn up on this road at my funeral what will they say what will they say when I'm buried one day
Wondering what people will say at the funeral and if they will recognize the life that was lived to the fullest.

Your funeral nothin is fo sho no one ever knows when it's time to go
Reiterating the uncertainty of death and how one can never truly be sure when it's their time.
