Great Uncle

from FREE BEER by Granata

	/

lyrics

the window to my soul is old but it’s stained glass
it’ your loss if you don’t wait to let the rain pass
it gets brighter but i don’t know how long the pain lasts
i’m not a rapper or a poet … i’m a plane crash

overdosing on red wine
in my own world oblivious to all the headlines
spent the night outside got high so i slept fine
wakin up to the scent of the fresh pine

don’t be a stick in the mud and don’t be glued to your seat
eatin fruit feelin free, by the root of a tree
writin notes in nature i’m gettin loose with the leaves
i’m so chill that my blood’s still blue when i bleed

i don’t need much but a brush and a brew and a breeze
me myself and I homie we just do shit in threes
sometimes i let my mind take a cruise through the creek
i’m only concerned with makin sure my music is me

HOOK x2

i won’t be a good dad but i’d make a great uncle
if i can’t write i gotta create trouble
i choose to be a recluse cause i hate huddles
i’m a flake and i always take the escape tunnel

life isn’t a race so i’m takin back roads
in the stream of consciousness i’m a tad pole
but when i think too much i become an asshole
my skin might be white but i got a blue and black soul

whistlin to myself as i’m skippin rocks
on a lake in Vermont, trout on the fishin rod
i don’t got a pot to piss in, but this bush i’m pissin on
and this likkle log i’m sittin on

we live in a world where everything is augmented
support the mom and pop shops cause they’re authentic
hit up Rincon for tacos then i had a cigar
there was a man in a sombrero playin latin guitar

i’m on a self destructive mission turnin satin to scars
i’m not stupid i know that i been actin bizarre
i hear the ocean in a sea shell and jazz in a jar
i went from rags to riches and then went back to the bar

HOOK x2

i won’t be a good dad but i’d make a great uncle
if i can’t write i gotta create trouble
i choose to be a recluse cause i hate huddles
i’m a flake and i always take the escape tunnel

is his style similar to earl? yeah for sure. But that's disrespectful to MIKE's production and bars that go even darker and more experimental than earl in a way that is entirely his own. dath2002
