Memories & Merlot

[Verse 1] Candy coated memories of lookin' at the sky a lot We used to laugh a lot, play a lot, cry a lot My momma used to sit me down and get her Bible out Two days straight, teach Revelations to me Fruits of the spirit, love and patience to me I used to wonder why she cried when she told me That nobody in this world but God could console me "The devil is lurking in the shadows, so pick your battles Keep your on eye on the sparrow And walk on the straight and narrow – 'cause Pride and arrogance will swallow you in Pharaoh's blood Looks after your sisters, I'm here 'cause you and Fal' are blood You never know when thick land could turn to shallow mud And if the shit hit the fan, the quicksand will lather up" [Refrain] Where there's no vision, the people perish So these are the memories I keep and cherish [Verse 2] Sunny, lemon memories of laying in the grass My head was spinnin' and my heart was beatin' fast I opened up and start relaying you my past "Una furtiva lagrima" was on the box, and Merlot was in the glass I must admit, at first, I focused on that ass Then we chilled and had a blast, so the waves had to crash But the titans have to clash We had a decorated badge, just forgot to pump the gas Life is a storyboard, captured in a Polaroid The memory's the jewel 'cause the camera is cold and void Like a corpse, or C-3PO the golden droid Vivid flashbacks will leave you real sad or overjoyed [Refrain] Where there's no vision, the people perish So these are the memories I keep and cherish
