When I Am Gone

(альбом: B.A.A.A. - 2019)

[Wax:]
Some songs are just like this dirt
They been around forever
I don't know who wrote 'em
I heard my father sing this song, his father sang that song to him
All our forefathers knew this song
It went something like this

Ain't no telling when your time is up
So everybody with me, lift your cup
For tomorrow we may all be dead
That's what a dead wise man said
The moment right before the lightning struck

Drink one for the ones who drank too much
Smoke one for the ones who smoked before us
Pour some liquor out for those who passed on
And roll one up for me when I am gone

Before mankind could even pitch a tent
He discovered how the alcohol'd ferment
And for the next ten thousand years
He drank his liquors, wines, and beers
Let's honor him for all the time he spent
When tribal cavemen wanted to get high
There wasn't a dispensary nearby
Before he found that OG kush
He smoked every shrub, tree, and bush
Let's not forget his sacrifice as I
Hey

Drink one for the ones who drank too much
Smoke one for the ones who smoked before us
Pour some liquor out for those who passed on
And roll one up for me when I am gone

'Tis for the guinea pigs
That'll go and get me this
Ice cold beverage that's sitting in my mini fridge
I am an idiot, I don't know how the motherfucker works
Ayy, vicodin or vitamin
Depression or enlightenment
A toast to the those who initially shed light on it
'Cause senses of entitlement make us seem like a bunch of jerks

Every day I'm driving in my car
Knock on wood, I hope I make it far
I'm not just knocking for myself
I'm also knocking for the health
Of the dude who drives my Lyft home from the bar
They say they making new technology (Technology)
That'll make us all live for eternity (Eternity)
Well, if that stuff really exists
Please put me on the waiting list
If I still die, then roll one up for me
Hey

Drink one for the ones who drank too much
Smoke one for the ones who smoked before us
Pour some liquor out for those who passed on
And roll one up for me when I am gone
Drink one for the ones who drank too much (Too much)
Smoke one for the ones who smoked before us
Pour some liquor out for those who passed on
And roll one up for me when I am gone (Who are these guys?)
Drink one for the ones who drank too much
Smoke one for the ones who smoked before us
Pour some liquor out for those who passed on
And roll one up for me when I am gone
Yeah

[Herbal T:]
(Herbal T)
Yo, don't trip
You ain't gotta feel culpable
La muerte es inevitable
Michigan to Zimbabwe
You ain't gotta be from Miserable
Tú sabe' que tu eres mi yo degradable
I'm gonna rot, you're gonna rot, we're gonna rot
Pour a shot on my burial plot
And give a big salud, take it straight to the head
And sing along to this song on the Day of the Dead
It goes

[Wax:]
Drink one for the ones who drank too much (Yeah)
Smoke one for the ones who smoked before us (Let's do it)
Pour some liquor out for those who passed on
And roll one up for me when I am gone (Yeah)

Roll one up for me when I am gone (Gone)

And so it goes
Tomorrow the sun gon' shine
And this dirt gon' still be here
But I may not
You may not
But this song gon' be
So just like my great grandfather used to say
Roll up a fat fucking joint in my honor
And the honor of our forefathers
Thank you
And good night
