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, glued to 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 lurkin in the shadows, so pick your battles Keep your on eye on the sparrow and walk on the straight and narrow cuz' 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 [Bridge] Where there's no vision, the people perish So these are the memories I keep and cherish [Verse 2] Memories of layin in the grass My head was spinnin and my heart was beatin fast I opened up and start relayin 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 But then we chilled and had a blast So the waves had to crash but the titans have to clash We had a decorated pad just forgot to pump the gas Life is a storyboard captured in a polaroid Memories the jewel cause the camera is cold and bored Like a corpse or C-3PO, the golden droid Vivid flashbacks of you real sad or overjoyed [Bridge] Where there's no vision, the people perish So these are the memories I keep and cherish
