Funeral
Shy Glizzy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want all shooters at my funeral
Only real niggas at my funeral
It's gonna be ten thousand bitches at my funeral
Niggas gon' have them pistols at my funeral
It's gon' be some superstars at my funeral
Driving in exotic cars to my funeral
Niggas that whip that brick of hard at my funeral
You might get your ass robbed at my funeral

They tell me stay up out the streets, these niggas tryna end me
This all I know, I was born with this shit in me
But I don't leave the house if I ain't got a semi
My niggas ain't pouring no Remy, they don't even drink Remy
I'm all around the globe, just me and Benny
We counting Benjies bitch we 'bout to cop some Bentleys
Matching Bentleys, just to be specific
Shoulda seen this bitch I had last night, she so terrific
And she know I'm a fucking menace
She look like Taraji P Henson
Bury me in all white linen
I bet you they won't say a pussy did it

I want all shooters at my funeral
Only real niggas at my funeral
It's gonna be ten thousand bitches at my funeral
Niggas gon' have them pistols at my funeral
It's gon' be some superstars at my funeral
Driving in exotic cars to my funeral
Niggas that whip that brick of hard at my funeral
You might get your ass robbed at my funeral

I'm thinking about my granny, her name is Ann
Just lost her daughter, and her son did not become a man
Got damn, everybody love miss Ann
But she done been through so much pain, that she don't give a damn
Gotta stay strong for my fam, I made myself a man
But If I don't, who the fuck gon' take care of my fam?
My uncle in a wheelchair, I'm trying to get him a Lam'
Momma keep talking 'bout her bills, that's why I'm out here hustling?
I ain't stunt on these niggas like I really wanna
I ain't fuck all the bitches that I really wanna
I don't see these bitch niggas just like Stevie Wonder
When I die all I want is

I want all shooters at my funeral
Only real niggas at my funeral
It's gonna be ten thousand bitches at my funeral
Niggas gon' have them pistols at my funeral
It's gon' be some superstars at my funeral
Driving in exotic cars to my funeral




Niggas that whip that brick of hard at my funeral
You might get your ass robbed at my funeral
