lirik lagu nantes – lijah’s eulogy
[verse]
don’t move my body, it’s full of resentment
the choices we make bring us to a stalemate in life when you were needed
the sordid confines of the flesh in which a misguided child finds comfort
your comfort was needed you passed on the weekends
a few years since your departure and they speak thusly of your flesh & blood
so i ask where were you, dad?
sperm donor’s the only name in which you are known
my house, for years, has been a broken home
b~tch, if i had the power i woulda k!lled you twice
look at my life, i wanted better and i know better
momma told me i was clever but what did you do?
dad, where were you when momma had to scr~p with erin?
when my sister was on the streets bleedin’ out of her f~ckin’ p~ssy don’t you push me, you p~ssy and where’s your father?
just know i hate you, eat a f~ckin’ frozen d~ck and sh~t a d~mn glacier misplacin’ my sense of direction
talkin to these hoes gave me a direct erection
treatin’ your momma wrong, son,i guess i got it from my dad; quite sad, isn’t it?
i died over bullsh~t just lemme tell you i promised i would do it
marky, don’t let me fail you
minni, don’t let me deceive you
nae nae, i think i need you
alex, i live and f~ckin’ breathe you
but go on, kid, be bigger and better than me
kuz lijah was no better than snorting caine, the b~tch n~gga with the silver tongue
the son of dalone who never fights but he d~mn sure can run
and who am i? and who am i?
and who are you beneath these streetlights?
preachin’ a hermit’s wisdom
burgundy and cerulean flags battle but you scream don’t k!ll him they claim you soft
the woman paint you a wh0re, untrustworthy
the n~ggas paint you meek, a b~tch n~gga sizin’ you up with the the devil’s intentions
can i be your insight? your haywire intuition?
paraphrasing what demons in the dark said to me,” f~ck me, i am sunshine. your baddest b~tch, greatest fear, and biggest mistake.”
dazed, i replied, “i love you more than them but i can’t. imma father, a son, a brother.”
she gripped the nine tighter, replying,” i love like no other. i am not nae nae. i am not erika. i am not minni, joi, mary or monique. i am sunshine.”
seein’ her true intentions as my sperm donor stood to her right and my sins to her left
i could do nothin’ but take a knee
and the devil said “nantes, your evils are mine to keep
please lend an ear to me
i see the twists in your hair, knots in your nappy afro
i follow you through avenues and backroads la to tennessee
god lies in this hennessy
take it to the head and take heed, you will enter me”
the streetlights guide me, broken with a bullet in my bones, and i sip the elixir foolishly
and as i lay dying to my only son i recite his father’s eulogy
[refrain]
and you heard it from the lips of a dyin’ man
the streetlights know the plan
and you heard it from the lips of a dyin’ man
the streetlights know the plan
they know the plan, young n~gga
microfone: “ay, bro, you still got some soul left!”
