All of the Above

Lyrics

[Intro] "We loved him as a brother, as a father, and as a son. From his parents and from his older brothers and sisters he received an inspiration which he passed on to all of us. He gave us strength in time of trouble, wisdom in time of uncertainty, and sharing in time of happiness. He will always be by our side." [Verse 1: Jamie Madrox] Sometimes, when they visit, I wonder, "Can they hear me?" I'm scratchin' at the box and screamin' out quite clearly I'm so lonely, my one and only probably took another That means new daddy and same mother For my babies, before they grown ladies I hope they remember me when they old ladies with their own babies Carry my memory until it fades away My mother came to visit me yesterday on my birthday She laid a single rose on my head stone and said "It ain't been easy tryin' to get along since you've passed on" I hear it momma, it's been real turmoil I've been scratchin' all month, tryin' to hit top soil I've been workin' real hard, but my body feels weak Well I can't die, I'm just too awake to fall asleep Tell 'em all that I miss them and send it with all my love Sincerely from the underground, to all of the above [Hook: Monoxide & Blaze Ya Dead Homie] Shed tears for me How long? They've been prayin' for me I'm so lonely, I'm sendin' love To all of the above Shed tears for me How long? They've been prayin' for me I'm so lonely, I'm sendin' love To all of the above [Verse 2: Monoxide] I gotta whisper to me, we're all alone in a place I'm underground and I'm surrounded by grace And all the faith in my existence, see Lives on and the face of my seed And I can see it when he visits me But I'm a father of the ground now Family to the earth and I'm sorry that I'm gone now Kiss your mother on the cheek And tell her I understand why she still don't speak Even though I'm in this coffin I get haunted by the streets And the sounds of bloody murder roam the night that I freaked out Now its peace out 'cause I pulled the piece out Put it in my mouth and blew my motherfuckin' teeth out I reached out but nobody reached back And no, it's not an excuse, but it's the reason that I'm trapped (Inside here) And everything is black and hard to breathe Exactly like the life that I was tryin' to leave [Hook: Monoxide & Blaze Ya Dead Homie] Shed tears for me How long? They've been prayin' for me I'm so lonely, I'm sendin' love To all of the above Shed tears for me How long? They've been prayin' for me I'm so lonely, I'm sendin' love To all of the above [Verse 3: Jamie Madrox] You know I hate to see a grown man cry Sometimes my homies stop by They're smokin' joints to get me high in spirit If they could only know that I hear it When they cough, hear em when they talk And scream for them to stay every time they get ready to take off Peace ya'll, bring a shovel next time 'Cause it's cold down here and this dirt is a thick line Between life and death, it appears I have nothin' left But the person never forgets just like a ghost in transit [Verse 4: Monoxide] I watch 'em move like bandits when they rob my corpse And then they left me on the porch as a prep for the divorce And now I'm back in a black bag on a gurney at the morgue on a flat slab Hoping the journey will bring me home, isn't that sad? Then I won't say no mo' And let you think about me every time you hear this flow They put me back in my coffin and they lowered me down And ever since then, it seems like nobody'll come around [Hook: Monoxide & Blaze Ya Dead Homie] Shed tears for me How long? They've been prayin' for me I'm so lonely, I'm sendin' love To all of the above Shed tears for me How long? They've been prayin' for me I'm so lonely, I'm sendin' love To all of the above Shed tears for me How long? They've been prayin' for me I'm so lonely, I'm sendin' love To all of the above Shed tears for me How long? They've been prayin' for me I'm so lonely, I'm sendin' love To all of the above
