Lyrics

[00:00.00] 作词 : Jones, Webber
[00:00.28] Intro:
[00:00.67] Yo I wonder if Langston Hughes and Alex Hailey got blazed before they told stories,
[00:04.08] Well I’m gonna get blazed before I tell y’all stories,
[00:07.61] I saw on TV today this man lost his son, his son died,
[00:10.96] So he had him cremated, took his ashes, and made it into a diamond ring
[00:15.70] Now he watch his son shine everyday,
[00:17.65] I just thought about that, while I sit here ashin in this ash tray
[00:22.91] Verse One:
[00:28.49] The makin’ of a mad man who entered stories of Devante Swing,
[00:31.12] Eva Gardner, the crashin of James Dean,
[00:35.08] Bobby Brown, influenced by Rick James it goes,
[00:39.59] Prince wanted Alexander O’ Neill to be Morris Day or Jerome,
[00:42.69] But Alex was puttin’ coke in his nose nigga while it,
[00:47.79] Could be a myth but I swear that the source was close, Phyllis Hyman,
[00:50.92] Killed himself it was crazy, mommy was bad, they say,
[00:54.72] Donny Hathaway freefall from a balcony, he sways
[00:57.44] Chorus:
[00:58.54] As a blunt ash falls into the ashtray, I can see my whole life fly past me,
[01:04.03] Did I （Did I） keep it gangsta or keep it classy, and will the money and fame outlast me,
[01:10.17] The blunt’s ash fall down in the ash tray, will I see my whole life fly past me,
[01:19.44] I’m askin did I keep it gangsta or keep it classy, （did I） anything else you wanna know, just ask me.
[01:25.96] Verse Two:
[01:26.86] Sam trusted Womack with his main lady, he tossin’ in the grave like ‘this is how you repay me,’
[01:35.54] A change goin’ come, wish you didn’t trust me so much,
[01:38.93] Marvin said ‘No mountains high enough,’ fly stuff,
[01:41.67] David Ruffin was punchin’ Tammy Tyrell, gave her concussions,
[01:45.61] While, the Funk Brothers was layin’ down the percussions,
[01:49.86] When Flo from the Supremes died, Diana Ross cried,
[01:53.44] Many people said that she was laughing inside （Why?）.
[01:56.73] Chorus:
[01:57.53] As a blunt ash falls into the ashtray, I can see my whole life fly past me,
[02:04.55] Did I （Did I） keep it gangsta or keep it classy, and will the money and fame outlast me,
[02:11.27] The blunt’s ash fall down in the ash tray, will I see my whole life fly past me,
[02:18.89] I’m askin did I keep it gangsta or keep it classy, （did I） anything else you wanna know, just ask me.
[02:24.43] Verse three:
[02:26.36] John F. Kennedy’s enemies dealt with treachery, it interests me,
[02:29.40] Julie Campbell in Gucci sandals, she’s what a temptress be,
[02:34.16] The death of Anis Cosby, what a mystery,
[02:36.73] All of Chicago and Herald Washington, someone is sabotagin’ him,
[02:40.44] Watch out for the traps, Larry Troutman killed his brother, Roger Troutman, then he killed himself, that’s the end of Zapp,
[02:48.69] And I wouldn’t change a thing, mistakes of the greats,
[02:51.52] This is what came from they pain, from they hurt we gain, an unfair exchange.
[02:56.37] Chorus （background）:
[02:57.47] As a blunt ash falls into the ashtray, I can see my whole life fly past me,
[03:03.76] Did I （Did I） keep it gangsta or keep it classy, and will the money and fame outlast me,
[03:09.16] The blunt’s ash fall down in the ash tray, will I see my whole life fly past me,
[03:15.29] I’m askin did I keep it gangsta or keep it classy, （did I） anything else you wanna know, just ask me
[03:23.30] I can smell old bogie’s cigars,
[03:26.01] Knall Recam’s perfumes smellin just as sweet,
[03:27.01] Me and my wife K flyin in the drop-top like Ruby and OZ Davis baby, know what I mean,
[03:29.27] Yo man, get smoked out, start thinking about Hattie McDaniels,
[03:31.49] Got an Oscar for playing Mamie in “Gone With the Wind,”
[03:32.14] And she didn’t even get allowed, wasn’t allowed to go to the premier,
[03:32.96] You believe that, couldn’t go to premier, to her joint,
[03:33.56] Man, you know they were strong back then yeah,
[03:34.73] Blunts, fallin, ashtray,
