Blunt Ashes (Album Version|Explicit)

Intro:
Yo I wonder if Langston Hughes and Alex Hailey got blazed before they told stories
Well I'm gonna 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 made it into a diamond ring
Now he watch his son shine everyday
I just thought about that  while I sit here ashin in this ash tray
Verse One:
The makin' of a mad man who entered stories of Devante Swing
Eva Gardner  the crashin of James Dean
Bobby Brown  influenced by Rick James it goes
Prince wanted Alexander O' Neill to be Morris Day or Jerome
But Alex was puttin' coke in his nose ni**a while it
Could be a myth but I swear that the source was close  Phyllis Hyman
Killed himself it was crazy  mommy was bad  they say
Donny Hathaway freefall from a balcony  he sways
Chorus:
As a blunt ash falls into the ashtray  I can see my whole life fly past me
Did I （Did I） keep it gangsta or keep it classy  and will the money and fame outlast me
The blunt's ash fall 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 ask me
Verse Two:
Sam trusted Womack with his main lady  he tossin' in the grave like 'this is how you repay me '
A change goin' come  wish you didn't trust me so much
Marvin said 'No mountains high enough ' fly stuff
David Ruffin was punchin' Tammy Tyrell  gave her concussions
While  the Funk Brothers was layin' down the percussions
When Flo from the Supremes died  Diana Ross cried
Many people said that she was laughing inside （Why ）
Chorus:
As a blunt ash falls into the ashtray  I can see my whole life fly past me
Did I （Did I） keep it gangsta or keep it classy  and will the money and fame outlast me
The blunt's ash fall 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 ask me
Verse three:
John F  Kennedy's enemies dealt with treachery  it interests me
Julie Campbell in Gucci sandals  she's what a temptress be
The death of Anis Cosby  what a mystery
All of Chicago and Herald Washington  someone is sabotagin' him
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 they pain  from they hurt we gain  an unfair exchange
Chorus （background）:
As a blunt ash falls into the ashtray  I can see my whole life fly past me
Did I （Did I） keep it gangsta or keep it classy  and will the money and fame outlast me
The blunt's ash fall 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 ask me
I can smell old bogie's cigars
Knall Recam's perfumes smellin just as sweet
Me and my wife K flyin in the drop-top like Ruby and OZ Davis baby  know what I mean
Yo man  get smoked out  start thinking about Hattie McDaniels
Got an Oscar for playing Mamie in “Gone With the Wind ”
And she didn't even get allowed  wasn't allowed to go to the premier
You believe that  couldn't go to premier  to her joint
Man  you know they were strong back then yeah
Blunts  fallin  ashtray
