"I buried my daughters and wife with these hands
after our house was bombed," said the wartorn man
I guess I'd do the same if I'm unlucky enough to get the chance
Teardrops fall off my face and stain and wet my pants
N'awlins, N.O., like the say, "No doi"
Ballzack, please go get us two crawfish and two oyster poe boys
Oh joy, it would stink if'n my city fell in the drink and we die
but when it happens, it happens in the blink of an eye
//if your brilliance don't blind em use your bullshit to confuse em
illusion of permancece is just middle class delusion///
No one sits around glad they're not blind but maybe should
You can find genius and tragedy in every naybehood
God enjoyed the schadenfreude. "Is He makin me pay?"
At any time at all, it can all be taken away
Tender clutch
sense of touch
smell
taste
sight
hearing
When you lose a leg, it's not like you lost an earring
Five sense
live tenses
loved ones
no sound
Gossip and negligence can drown a hometown
We can go barfing and barking at our king
but power can be taken at any tijme like no parking
What seems permanent is really temporary
that's why a memory doesn't never scare me
just kidding, the past, it haunts me like a ghost
but preproduction's over and we fix it all in post
the only roast i wasnt from friars is barbecue
breaking up is easy. it's growin up that's hard to do
it's unpleasant to think the future
will be worse than the present
but at least you enjoy the moment
and stop and think for a second
it's gettin a little late in the day
for fate to convey
it can all be taken away
