Blunt Ashes

I want the Langston Hughes and Alex Haley got blazed before they told stories I'ma get blazed before I tell y'all stories I saw on tv today this man lost his son his son died So he had him cremated took his ashes and then made it to a Diamond ring Now he watches his son shine everyday I just thought about that while I sit here ashing in this ash tray The makin' of a mad band Intricate stories of DeVante Swing Ava Gardner the crashin' of James Dean Bobby Brown influenced by Rick James and it goes Prince wanted Alexander O'Neal to be Morris Day or Jerome But Alex was puttin' coke in his nose nigga whylin' Could be a myth but I swear that the source was close Phyllis Hyman Killed herself it was crazy mommy was bad they say Donny Hathaway freefall from a balcony he swings As the blunt ash falls into the ash tray I could see my whole life fly past me Did I did I keep it gangsta or keep it classy And will the money and fame out last me The blunt's ash falls down in the ash tray Will I see my whole life fly past me I'm askin' did I keep it gangsta or keep it classy Did I anything else you wanna know just wanna ask me Sam trusted Womack with his main lady He tossin' in the grave like this is how you repay me A change gon' come wish you didn't trust me so much Marvin said no mountain's high enough fly stuff David Ruffin was punchin' Tammy Terrell gave her concussions While the Funk Brothers was layin' down the percussion When Flo from the Surpremes died Diana Ross cried Many people said that she was laughin' inside As the blunt ash falls into the ash tray I could see my whole life fly past me Did I did I keep it gangsta or keep it classy And will the money and fame out last me The blunt's ash falls down in the ash tray Will I see my whole life fly past me I'm askin' did I keep it gangsta or keep it classy Did I anything else you wanna know just wanna ask me John F Kennedy's enemies dealt with treachery It interests me Judy Campbell in Gucci sandals She's what a temptress be The death of Ennis Cosby what a mystery Or the Chicagoan Harold Washington Someone is sabotaging them Watch out for the traps Larry Troutman killed his brother Roger Troutman Then he killed himself that's the end of Zapp And I wouldn't change a thing mistakes of the greats This is what came from their pain From their hurt we gain an unfair exchange I could smell old bogey cigars Long record perfumes smellin' just as sweet Me and my wife K flyin' in a drop top like Ruby and Ottis Davis baby Knaw'mean yo man I get smoked out and start thinkin' about Patty McDaniels got a Oscar for playin' Mami in Gone With The Wind And she didn't get allowed wasn't even allowed to go to the premier Could'ya couldn't go to premier to her joint they were strong back then man Blunt from my ash tray nothin' gon' to live past me
