lyrics

[Intro]
ART WIMITATES DEATH
Arrangements must be made you know?
Funerals (Yo) are for the living.
Dont let anybody tell you different

[Verse 1]
They hardest work be sounding like a demo (That shit trash)
Left and right my head goes that’s a Hell N-O
Non stop laughin at your best quotes
No live punchlines just Dead jokes

Im An entity from another realm bro (Out of this world)
Getting ghost head while Im floating on some XO
Balance out the spirits with the chem smoke (Light it up!)
I tic tax toe the retros in the best row

Before the next L rolled let it go (X em out)
Leave em stiff on a slab with some pliers in his chest bone
More deathblows til its end zone (finished)
The sideline bench player spectators neck broke

I got they Heart Tempo on techno (look at them niggaz)
Stethoscope sound like a beat by Timbo
Rae and ghost It s so simple its impulse
Close his soul windows by the intro

[Hook]
Tell me what ya see when ya eyes closed

Cant take nothin witcha when ya gotta go
(You gotta go)

A whole crowd around you but you die alone
(You die alone)

Funeral is packed like a live show but you ain’t know
(You aint know?)

Funerals for living folk
(You aint know nigga)

Funerals are for the living folks
(I guess you aint know)

Funerals for living folk
(Yeah)

Funerals are for the living folk oh-oh
(You just learned something today)

Funerals are for the living folk



[Verse 2]
Artists sell they ass like bimbo (hoe niggas)
Blowing on a label exec like piccolo
Bet ya hero signed to a jiggalo (ahh man)
Wrote a song a bout like to hear it? Here it go

They soul got sold for some big doe (get money)
Switch up his image now he fitted in some chick clothes
Hip-Hop morphed into disco (damn shame)
I call it like I see it I refuse to keep my lips closed

The closet of the culture got some big bones (hmm)
Rumor that our forefathers touched up on them kids yo (you heard that)
On the road to get on they forgetful (they try to hide it)
The foundation broken Hear it crashing like a cymbal

How much do it cost to bury info? (You how much)
More than it cost to leave you February wind cold
I covered both tickets in crypto
These encryption flows RIP on your headstone nigga

[Hook]
Tell me what ya see when ya eyes closed
(Eyes closed)

Cant take nothin witcha when ya gotta go
(You gotta go)

A whole crowd around you but you die alone
(You die alone)

Funeral is packed like a live show but you ain’t know
(You aint even know)

Funerals for living folk
(You aint know?)

Funerals are for the living folk
(You aint know nigga)

Funerals for living folk
(I guess you aint know)

Funerals are for the living folk oh-oh
(Yeah)

[Bridge]
Ohh ohh-oh
Ohh ohh-oh
uhh ahh oh-oh Yeah

[Hook]
Tell me what ya see when ya eyes closed
(What you see?)

Nothing you could take when you gotta go
(Nothing)

A whole crowd around you but you die alone
(Damn!)

Funeral is packed like a live show but you ain’t know
(You aint even know)

Funerals for living folks
(You aint even know nigga)

Funerals are for the living folk
(You aint even know!)

Funerals for living folk
(You aint know?)

Funerals for living folk-oh

Funerals for living folk

Funerals are for the living folks

Funerals are for the living folk

Mm’ for the living folk whoa

Whoa
(Some niggas just wanna come and show out)

Ohh ohh-oh
(Others wanna see if the job is done)

Ohh ohh-oh
(Rest are just following suite)

Ahh ah-ah Yeah
(But aint nobody there but the living)

Funerals are for the living folk
Yeah yeah yeah
