jay electronica - memories & merlot lyrics

[verse 1]
candy coated memories of lookin at the sky a lot
we used to laugh a lot, play a lot, cry a lot
my momma used to sit me down and get her bible out
two days straight, teach revelations to me, glued to the spirit
love and patience to me
i used to wonder why she cried when she told me
that n-body in this world but god could console me
the devil is lurkin in the shadows, so pick your battles
keep your on eye on the sparrow and walk on the straight and narrow cuz’
pride and arrogance will swallow you in pharaoh’s blood
looks after your sisters, i’m here cause you and fal are blood
you never know when thick land could turn to shallow mud
and if the sh-t hit the fan the quicksand will lather up

[bridge]
where there’s no vision, the people perish
so these are the memories i keep and cherish

[verse 2]
memories of layin in the gr-ss
my head was spinnin and my heart was beatin fast
i opened up and start relayin you my past
‘una furtiva lagrima’ was on the box and merlot was in the gl-ss
i must admit at first i focused on that -ss
but then we chilled and had a blast
so the waves had to crash but the t-tans have to clash
we had a decorated pad just forgot to pump the gas
life is a storyboard captured in a polaroid
memories the jewel cause the camera is cold and bored
like a corpse or c-3po, the golden droid
vivid flashbacks of you real sad or overjoyed

[bridge]
where there’s no vision, the people perish
so these are the memories i keep and cherish
