D-Sisive - Banana Bread Lyrics
(Intro)YoYoYo(Verse)She told her grandma to pray for meTell Satan to stay away for meBut grandma’s baked banana bread wasn’t on my plate when I was crying with painkillers and cocaine in meIn an ambulance running red lightsWatching the devil dance under red skiesYelling at paramedics with wet eyesDon’t let me die, don’t let me leave with himHe’s not a friend of my father’s, a false prophet, a red cupSuckin nice chips and the hospital bed tuckedScrambled eggs, orange juice and fruit cupsHad a van, clipboards bruises and cutsA room wasted on a junky with a heart of glassWhile in the hole always wait cancer and heart attacksPromising I won’t make mistakes I’ll regret againSeven hours later in the same bed again(Hook)I stopped breathing, my skin went coldMy heart stopped beating, I’ve never been this closeAnd I never felt better, I never felt betterI never felt better, I’m finally home(Verse)My daddy lit a cigarette and sipped from his aleTurned off the television set and whispered a tailHis mama was an angel, a bosom full of loveBut grandma was the devil with the poison in her bloodRubbing alcohol mouthwash, whiskey and wineFace down on the sidewalk, tipsy and blindSleeping in her vomit, washed up on the shoreThrew a brick through the window of my grandfather’s doorRon Dunn, that’s the man name, the neighbors would stareSome neighbors would laugh, some neighbors shed a tearSome neighbors said a prayer while my father carried bonesSlipped off his shoes while she slept in her clothesShe would show up at his school and embarrass him in classWith the bottle in her hand, all the kids would laughPleased as a smile curls on my father’s faceWhile he recalls the day when his mama passed away(Hook)I stopped breathing, my skin went coldMy heart stopped beating, I’ve never been this closeAnd I never felt better, I never felt betterI never felt better, I’m finally home(Verse)Illuminated by the light at the end of thisI remember the first time that I dreamt of this death sentenceEarly morning on December 5th when we buried and carried him through those church entrancesI thought I’ll be more sensitive,Since it is my own flesh and bloodBut I hear him begging me to catch upLet it all go, what a shocking thoughtNo more talking bout the prophetNo more stocks and bondsNo more responsibilities, no more walk the dogsMo more family obligations, no more awkward talks with momSo I lay in bed for a couple daysBlaze of heads but I ain’t space cadet faded yetI’m tryna get Jerry G grateful deadSo I could play roulette with a bigger netI made my own grades, I dug it with a butter knifeThe earth surface ain’t worth dirt if it doesn’t put up a fightTell my wife I love her and then I hug her tightThen one last lie, baby I’ll see you on the other side(Outro)I’m walking through the night, I’m walking on a tight ropeI’m walking with my eyes closed, no net bellowLook out bellow, then I let goLet’s goGeronimo, Geronimo
