Vagabond Mafia - TV Funeral

This ain’t on some asking for your attention
Cause I know you know
If you ask me what’s wrong
I won’t answer
So deceptive
So defensive
I count my blessings
If I keep falling down it only get expensive
TV screens behind my eyelids
Sense of worth
I tried to find it
Yeah that money talks
I mean
We remember those even more when they
Easy street in a casket
Can we talk about mental health?
Can we talk about weaponizing the
Desire to
TV funeral
TV funeral
I swear that money talkin
Louder than my morals
But the profit of this quarrel
Send my mind into that portal
Of ascension through space
Where consciousness
Is erased
And all the homies is paid
And then my legacy straight
Ay woah now
I think I need to slow down
The television never shows that
Shit that really goes down
Behind the scenes
But when camera on
Get that paper by any means
If I walked out this door
And didn’t come back
We could be home town heroes and bounce back
I talk about “we” as an expression
Cause “we” without me is cool
With a notch in a check book
If I lose my fight
And decide not to stay
Don’t remember me without that fuckin smile on my face
Looking down on my state allowin for everyone to get paid
TV Funeral
TV Funeral
I swear all I need to do
Is load this clip
And pull the trigger back
Cuz death is acquisition
Take my loss
And make them figures stack
This ain’t selfish
So don’t think that about me
This my selfless contribution
Y’all can do this without me
I’ve taken my losses
And even writing this saddens me
At least the biggest loss
I could take
I'm taking for family
This ain’t on some asking for your attention
Cause I know you know
If you ask me what’s wrong
I won’t answer
So deceptive
So defensive
I count my blessings
If I keep falling down it only get expensive
TV Funeral
TV Funeral
Yeah this is exactly how the TVs want me to see things
If death do we part
Then why the fuck the money increase
Romanticize some shit
Look at Kurt
Look at Mitch
Look at Mac
Look at Amy
Look at facts
Look at payments in them loved ones banks daily
No disrespect to everyone gone
I’m glad we as a culture can talk about what’s wrong and sing a swan song
That’s just fine
Yeah, that’s alright
All I’m saying is why aren’t we more invested in things before they die
Yeah talk to someone with legacy
And how hard they tried
To keep on pushing through this little thing called life
And how everyone and everything was so worthwhile
Life
Now that should be romanticized
