And the Eulogy Read!? Lyrics

[Part I]

[Intro: GRIP]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
And the eulogy read (Oh, oh, oh)
And the eulogy read (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh), hey
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) And the eulogy read

[Verse: GRIP]
And the eulogy read
"In front of us lies a man that was truly ahead
Coulda died in a shootin', but ended up a shoo-in instead
And when they said hip-hop music was dead, your ears, he fed
Shed sweat, tears, and bled, peers, they fled and veered for bread
He kept steerin' straight and made sure all of the children ate
Food for thought, fools who thought dude would halt and threw salt
It only made 'em more seasoned, nigga, here's a plate

"Porch" started payin' bills and it was never level playin' fields
But had major label deals on the table still
Streaming was low across the board, they wanted to touch the numbers
Like they do up-and-comers that bump for a couple summers

Wasn't fuckin' wit' it, never been with the boostin'
Stayed independent, signed with HR for distribution
J Erving kept shit a hunnid, he showed the most love
Threw him his first bag, he started recordin' "Snub'"
Ran through that shit with ease with bills and two kids to feed
He knew he had to make a classic, and he did indeed
Labels callin' again, same song and dance
But crackers literally want you to do a song and dance
One label was cool, talks about a strong advance
Plus a cool mill', and then they pulled the deal
But he wasn't shattered, broken, he just had to focus
Ashtray with scattered roaches, bounced back with a magnum opus
So before the casket closes, let him have his roses
I'm pretty sure he'd be glad you noticed, uh
The sword was his pen, he waged war wit' his men
Anybody part of the Stray fam is more than a friend
This where all the choruses end, they pour 40s for him
Tell you how we got to this point, let the story begin"
Begin, begin
Uh—
[Part II]

[Outro: Wiley from Atlanta]
Every day (Yeah), yeah-mm
Every day for you, mm
Every day
Mm-mm-mm-mm (Every day)
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm
I'll be
Dyin' every day, mm-mm (Ooh-hoo)
For you
Every damn day
Every damn day for you
Every day, oh no, mm (Ah)
Mm, I know, hey
Every day for you (Every day)
Every day (Every day)
Really, I'd die for you, mm-mm

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did GRIP say about "And the Eulogy Read!?"?
Genius Answer

You know how a eulogy is somewhat a summary of your life up to that point? So what it was was a summary of everything that had been going on with me up until the album drops.
