Dia de los Muertos

Lets get retarded Candles lit for all dearly departed Dia de le los muertos Time to get the party started Grab the pictures of your loved ones and Slow so you dont falter Got a picture of my abuelita sitting on the altar Get to praying Tongues are quick You dont know what we saying When the veil is thin The spirits that are visiting Are staying Its respect my people praying To the ones that came before us When they all speaking at once Its sounds like angels in a chorus Got the calaberas, marigolds And grocieries from tienda As the pan de muertos Placed up on the table as ofrenda Couple jewels we call them prendas As we paying our respects Its a part of life The reapers always coming to collect Its a remembrance of friends . And family members who have died on November 1st You better celebrate if you alive Cuz if you dont Theyll be forgotten forever in limbo, Many spirits trying to come into crib And through the windows Through the walls, through the floor As they knocking down decor The manifestations heard as physical taps Are harder to ignore So pay attention They coming through from Another dimension Gotta try to guide them to the light To help them ascension With intention We even celebrate in public spaces When u light a blunt, and its smokey You can see their faces Leave an offering So eternally you in they graces You can pick up the tradition Doesnt matter what your race is At the grave site Making sure its clean And flowers lay right Reciting bible verses Or poetry like a playwright In the daylight I pour a glass of agua de jamaica Class in session Every single time i choose to pick the mic up Theres atole and tequila For the fallen take a swig Un rosario for my people Who are gone and cannot live All the love my people give To the fallen on their throne Is reciprocated Hope you pray for me When I am bones
