My Neighbor Is a Kudzu Vine - Alan Gilbert

Ayy Ayy, ayyy This one the theme song for old dreams The granny on the block that was so mean Sunday's for brunch, grilled cheese for lunch Save room for street lights and home teams My jeans stained green from the grass Stole liquor from Mama but I got caught First gear, fond of the gas Still got the cops on my ass, flash I lost a Auntie when Nonnie was two I heard that they moved like swallows in June We pop a hydrant when they close the pool Hakuna Matata, my favorite tune New York summer is a vibe 630 9th and 45 Jezebel, Hell's Kitchen In my '65 listenin' to jazz of Thelonious mind Hallelujah every day Your love is such a blessing, your love is such a blessing Though we move (Though we move), all over the place (Oh) Your love is such a blessing, your love is such a blessing I miss that chubby kid with glasses and bleached hair We fought long battles with dragons that weren't there I miss my dog playing tag around my monkey bars Used to be the days of Looney Tunes and watching Entourage Another day reappear in the back of my brain I was there, now I'm here, wow And every road that you gave me To pave was the gift and I say Hallelujah every day (Every day) Your love is such a blessing, your love is such a blessing Though we move (Though we move) all over the place (Oh) Your love is such a blessing, your love is such a blessing Yeah I can see you from miles away Like it's yesterday, love is here to stay I can feel you from miles away Like we used to say, love is here to stay Another day reappear in the back of my brain I was there, now I'm here, wow And every road that you gave me To pave was the gift and I say Hallelujah every day (Every day) Your love is such a blessing, your love is such a blessing Though we move (Though we move), all over the place (Oh) Your love is such a blessing, your love is such a blessing Oh, you know we're lucky All we know is lovely Love is such a blessing for us (Uh, yeah) Call us through the surface Oh, you know you're worth it Love is such a blessing for us (Uh, yeah)

Sometimes I don't know what to Write about but sometimes I do Thinking about the music industry And how its kind of new And sometimes I just make beats For the fun of it I'd rather be making a melody than Doing anything else Because this is what I love to do And sometimes I don't have a Rhyme even though I have all the Time to put a line in Yeah ta' put a line in I feel like God put me on an Significant assignment And I know that everything will Be revealed on His perfect timing But the greatest gift of all that he Has blessed me with is this Rhyming One day it might be me with a Contract that I'm signin' It's not up to me It's not in my control with my Future to define it Trusting where I can't see I don't mind it Whoever hears me I hope For your sake that salvation yeah You find it Wisdom and truth I hope you bind it And sometimes I think about time Wondering where did it go Their right when they say time Will tell In my life it had really show Moments turned to memories And memories turned into the Past I never realized that I Grew up so fast Man speaking of moments Make sure you live in em' I've had a couple pass by in my life And I'm missing em' That hit too close to home And all of that made me far from it Trying to figure out what life really is and what it wasn't Realizing there is never a perfect moment for life to be seized We all miss you Rip Denise Four days after my seventeenth Trying to figure out why it was Meant to be Trying to figure out why I was Here and you weren't Man I remember my junior year in the Library yeah during lunch So in shock it was like life Went straight for a punch All I'm tryna say is live everyday Like it's the last It's time to focus on the present Rather than worrying about The past And I don't know about you but Life is goin pretty fast It feels like yesterday I was just a little kid on the Playground trading lunches But now I'm working hard In the studio I'm reaping now and eventually I will sow I'm living everyday like it's my last Yeah This is all I want to do man Forget about my past Yeah This is my future And I'm not done growing I'm learning in life There's no chance of knowing I'm doing everything in my Capability to make this all happen Young and at work yeah Keep on laughing Know that I got true grit I'm never lacking Song upon song yeah I keep on stacking It's just I've been around older folk Who have been mad at the world Wishing they would have done Something with their lives rather Than watching it move Yeah watching it move But I'm not gonna be that girl Yeah It's not gon' be me Speaking of past times Remembering all of those Sad rhymes I miss you dec yeah We all do We all do When we come together it feels Like it's just not the same Looking for you across the table But then giving me a reality check Sometimes it seems fake rather Than serial Life and death is no joke I'm like Jesus take the wheel Take the wheel yeah Yeah yeah take the All I'm tryna' say is live everyday Like it's the last It's time to focus on the present Rather than Worrying about the past And I don't know about you but Life is goin pretty fast And sometimes it's greater feeling Like an outcast Sometimes being an outcast means That your meant for more That you get different Opportunities and Significant doors Yeah Been lookin at my face In the mirror lately like wow I've grown so much Man 2020 revealed and had shown So much I've learned in this world There's a difference between Giving and receiving And not to be selfish arrogant Person that is so needy I've learned so far that all you need is God he'll handle the rest And sometimes less is best And I've noticed how simple life Can be if you just trust in Him Your looking for a dub but the Wins in Him I've turned away from the flesh Because I crave heaven I meet Him face to face when I was As young as seven God sought me Picked me out of the crowd and Said follow me He saved me like Jonah Suffering in the sea I've learned it's not about the I But about the we Yes This whole rap thing is it for me

I've no wish to hurry you luv But have you seen the time? It's quarter to ten and we're supposed to be there at nine I don't think the registrar Will be very pleased When we show up an hour late Like two frozen peas Both now facing for the first time Presently and past Something that begins with M And ends in alas More than not complete disaster Even from the start What could it be...? It's Matrimony I know how you've dreamt about Being walked down the aisle But think of the money we'll save And you'll see it's worthwhile It won't please our mums and dads But they don't even know Besides if they did what's the betting They wouldn't even go You and me are all that matters Disregard the rest Trust your soon to be old man He knows what is best Very shortly now there's going to be An answer from you Then one from me That's matrimony Oh, I'm truly grateful for the little things in life That have made me so glad Every other hour that I spend with you Is not in the least bit sad Quite the opposite in fact And if you don't believe me Here's the proof Ask me if I and I'll say "Aye, I do" You and me are all that matters Disregard the rest Trust your soon to be old man He knows what is best Very shortly now there's going to be An answer from you Then one from me That's matrimony Marriage - the joining together of two people For better or for worse till death them do part Ole!
