K-Rino, Point Blank - Barbeque Plates lyrics

Understand we ain’t sayin’ this
Out of disrespect
We sayin’ it out of respect
‘cause we gotta do better
We do better,  man, we’ll
Be in better positions,  dead or living
Let’s get it

Little homie lost his life ‘cause he
Was out there living dangerous
His whole family combined couldn’t
Afford the arrangements
Matters how deep the pain and anguish
Money’s still the language
The funeral man said he needеd way
More than what they came with
It’s a shamе the cash was low
And y’all lost Uncle Joe
Still raising the dough
He should’ve been buried two months ago
Got that man on ice with no
Casket or plot to occupy
It’s taking so long to drop my
Guy people forgot he died
Seen a lot of youngsters on
His social threads posting bread
But later a fundraiser is set
Up after most are dead
No savings or insurance policy
Just some hopeless Tweets
Dipped and left your mama with that
Debt because you chose the streets
That ain’t how it’s supposed to be
Raising dough while grieving
That’s the reason why you need to
Be stacking up while you’re breathing
You had jewelry, you had clothes
All the stuff you thought you wanted
But left with what you were born with
Now your mama tryna pawn it, man

Every day it’s like we got a new case
Steady dropping, it ain’t hard to lose faith
Didn’t put no bread away, now it’s too late
Died broke
Now your family’s selling barbeque plates

Every day it’s like we got a new case
Steady dropping, it ain’t hard to lose faith
Didn’t put no bread away, now it’s too late
Died broke
Now your family’s selling barbeque plates

Stop living for the moment
Think about it, build on it
Separate what’s most important and
Stay focused on it
‘cause everything that shine ain’t
Got diamonds on it
The hard times gon’ always remind us of it
Can’t afford to live, can’t afford to die
Family in a bind
And why? Dying ain’t on our mind
Get some insurance right now if
You don’t have none
Ashamed when most of us die
We don’t have none
Family selling barbeque plates, doing
All these events, no headstone, no money
But they got your picture all over The ‘gram
Hashtag longlive when you was living
Not giving a damn
Get your business in order, that’s it
That’s all protect the ones you love
Pray for the ones you don’t
The ones you think your friends really
Not your friends at all
I’m here to share the information
The rest on y’all

Every day it’s like we got a new case
Steady dropping, it ain’t hard to lose faith
Didn’t put no bread away, now it’s too late
Died broke
Now your family’s selling barbeque plates

Every day it’s like we got a new case
Steady dropping, it ain’t hard to lose faith
Didn’t put no bread away, now it’s too late
Died broke
Now your family’s selling barbeque plates

Struggling to bury mama
You waiting on heaven to call
None of her children got no bread
And it’s eleven of y’all
So many people to pay so
It’s money decisions only
Pastor love you and your family
But business is business, homie
Cats be dripping
Didn’t even have a stash that
They could dip in
The same friends you used to hustle
With barely done chipped in
Not being disrespectful
I’m just hoping for better
Instead of reaching out to strangers
And approaching for cheddar
If we our brother’s keeper
We should be saving them from the reaper
Couldn’t view the body
Had to cremate him because it’s cheaper
Wanna live crazy, bro
Then get your ducks in a row
At least that way your folks will have
A couple of bucks when you go
When we visit the cemetery
The environment’s scary
Your grave is unmarked so we can’t
Even find where you’re buried
You should have grinded ’til your income grew
‘cause when your family put you in that hole
You put your family in one too
That’s why I’m saying

Every day it’s like we got a new case
Steady dropping, it ain’t hard to lose faith
Didn’t put no bread away, now it’s too late
Died broke
Now your family’s selling barbeque plates

Every day it’s like we got a new case
Steady dropping, it ain’t hard to lose faith
Didn’t put no bread away, now it’s too late
Died broke
Now your family’s selling barbeque plates
