Tree People

Drinking Dreaming Cursing like a sailors Telling lies And more lives And more lies Until the lies run out, The drinks run dry And when the drinks run dry The people dwindle away The tree gets empty And then silence is heard. No cussing And telling lies Talking trash And evil kicks in But hold on there partner! What will this benefit them? What lessons are being learned? The drinking of the '40 And the gin and juice And the prophet-lying and Crucifying each other Telling what 2 kiss How 2 kiss and kiss my--- Need I say if the Good Lord comes back now? What will you say? "Well I was at the tree Lawd just chillin'." And when He say He don't know you Then What?
