Black Petunia lyrics

by

MF DOOM


[Verse 1: Capital STEEZ]
I only had two problems with females
Comin' off too strong and waitin' too long to move on
To save myself a heartache, Cupid gave me a couple of coupons
And told me not to choose a chicken head with Jimmy Choos on
It's a new day, women want Louboutin
Basic necessities, you heard that "Gucci Gucci" song
And if she do me wrong, I keep it movin' on my quest to find love
Still burnin' 'til my doobie's gone
I'm lost and tryin' to find my route
But my thoughts only inspire me to find my roots
And my conscious won't allow me to shoot
So I only value time in the booth
If that's fine by you, true
I'm trapped in my reality
When I look in the mirror, there's a bast*rd starin' back at me
The last chance of happiness for my family
'Cause momma's gettin' older and it's bringin' out the man in me
I wish it happened sooner, 'cause every afternoon
I realize another day is passin' that I lack improvement
I think I'm losin' it
Homies askin' "What happened to ya?"
This concrete rose turned into a black petunia
I guess that's how it's supposed to go
f*ck being emotional, I'd rather braggadocio
Drown in my emotions 'til I overflow with doper quotes
So take a hit of this and pass it off to so-and-so
[Chorus: Capital STEEZ]
So puff, puff, pass
Puff, puff, pass
Are you high enough?
I'm just gettin' fired up
Puff, puff, pass
Puff, puff, pass
Puff, puff, pass
Are you high enough?
I'm just gettin' fired up
And this song is all that I—

[Bridge: Capital STEEZ & Jakk the Rhymer]
I'm in it for the win, 'cause these L's ain't doin' sh*t
I guess I've grown used to it
Uh, uh
And this song is all that I can give you

[Verse 2: Jakk the Rhymer]
I need no reminisces of history
This the requiem for them hard times
We crush up mad trees in this memory, trips down
Memory lane keep me steps ahead of them
I'm headed in the direction of anythin' that's elevatin' there
That's why I'm writin' through the night
And momma, when your son shine, they ain't gon' ever take our light again
Overpriced taste, we been hungry, we overdue
Watchin' gangsters in the tube, living like they showed me to
New Jakk city, so the whole clique paid in full
No cinema, but it's comin' soon
I slow never and it's no wonder I'm in front of you
Yo, I rap circles around the globe like the sun and moon
Blessed, I was the son of a jewel and the world knew
He only kept the gold wrapped 'round his tooth
Proof, damn, why do the good die?
Damn, pop, why you leave at 49?
I'm graduatin', at 53, you should've held up
Still thinkin' 'bout what my seed was gonna call you
"Granddad"? "Grandfather"? "Papa"?
Reminiscin', ridin' shotgun, listenin' to "Big Poppa"
You see, daddy was a street scholar
I guess them knife wounds was mnemonic
My momma lookin' at me like the new Mahler
I'm hearin' her, that black king make Brooklyn look like Nigeria, uh
[Chorus: Jakk the Rhymer]
Puff, puff, pass
Are you high enough?
I'm just gettin' fired up
It's like puff, puff, pass
Puff, puff, pass
Puff, puff, pass
Are you high enough?
I'm just gettin' fired up
And this song is all that I can give you
