nantes - 27th + arlington lyrics

+ominous chords+
[sound of a television powering on then a tape being inserted into a vcr]
+play b+tton is pressed+

(verse)
i was four years old
watched my papa sn+tch an orange off the trees
matchin’ the colors of enraged autumn leaves
the wind carried them through south central as i climbed into cradles
crackin’ glass from broken bottles
i saw women itchin’, starvin’
suckin’ d+ck for dirty dollars
dozen problems weighin’ heavy on they mental
somebody touched ’em, n0body love ’em
body broken, need a doctor but prolly wouldn’t trust it
they prolly discovered they mama issues
they prolly unearthed the dna of they daddy tissues
good men murdered standin’ tall
autumn leaves that fall from trees and the hatred that curse us all
my papa loved my granny but she couldn’t hear it
my moms had alotta love but never got near it
my dad i ain’t know him so i won’t speak on it
the lord askin’ for my soul but i know she want it
her lips grip tight and her nails puncture my skin, the wound is so cold
and in this one moment, i’m four years old
i can’t save you kuz i’m trapped
my screams echo down arlington
their shrill nature reverberatin’, my hand cover my face
d+mn, look at my life (don’t move my body it’s full of resentment)
but i remember my graduation with my son watchin
a goal achieved by a seed who as a child watched leaves fall from trees
just to roll them when we need solace
loose women who’s l+st languishes lovingly in boy shorts kuz they gifted
she never noticed the razor as she caressed the nut of my guitar
my notes struck her ear slowly as she laid back in my arms
i was four years old and i seen it
my demise, my son, my queen, my prize and my demons
and my demons
and in the dark, i’m screamin’
but they’re inaudible, you can’t hear me
so i take it to back where it all started
on the westside
on 27th and arlington
“…if you’ve found this tape then it was meant for you. i made it for people just like me and if you listenin’ to it right now then it means alot. i don’t sleep much, do you?”
