Hook:
Yall better be shaking that ass at my funeral.
Nonblack kids don't get no nigga pass at my funeral
Blunts, balloons, and bottles in the back at my funeral
Why the fuck you niggas so so sad at my funeral?

Verse:
It's lit like crosses burned in Alabama in the 60's
Hanging like my ancestors. They didn't let all of them see 60
This just reality. I might not see 60
Fuck. Addie Mae Collins ain't get to see 16
Partying in parliament for people that ain't get to peep their prom dress
Girls who ain't get to choose to be mom's yet
16th street wasn't a bomb threat
Got niggas snapping like Stevie Steve.
Imagine that nigga at 16.
Homey, we got history.
You think I forgot about what you did to me?
Why every time you play a show the whole spot just go BOOM BOOM?
Every time that you walk in you walk in you light up the room room
Write these sad ass rap songs and put it on happy beat
Fuck my guilt and fuck my feelings if the mixtape giving y'all happy feet
But I hope you get the message.
I hope you do respect it.
I am not a teacher
Just a receiver of the lessons
A nigga might be struggling
But I'mma keep on hustling
Take over the world with a smile on my face.
That's my weapon of mass destruction.
Hook
Bridge
Don't you shed no fucking tear at my funeral
Ain't no reason to be sad at my funeral
We getting lit just like I'm back
