No More Funerals

Alright, now you tell me
What's worse than being in a room full of loved ones
With tears running down their faces?
Mothers and children crying in despair
Shit, man, that'll break your heart into a million pieces
Only thing worse than that is having to do it again

No more funerals this year
'Cause I can't take it
I wanna make this shit real clear
'Cause I can't take no more
No more funerals this year
'Cause I can't take it
No more funerals this year (naw)
'Cause I can't take no more

I'm lost in the dark, swallowed by grief
Drunk off the liquor and my disbelief
I'm tired of sermons that's tryna speak
To something within me that's too far to reach

Memories surge, smile is brief
Step in the church, taking a seat
You lay in a box, the cousin of sleep
My heart is offbeat, I quietly weep

There's no way to cheat, comes with the rest
Essence is gone, we're left with the flesh
Looking for God in a moment of silence
That's building up sorrow that can't be suppressed

Emotional bursts, stand by the hearse
Watch it take of, it feels like a curse
And that ain't the worst
Nothing compares to a mother
Whose tears will fall to the earth

So how many more can we take?
And who could imagine this fate?
And how many hearts got to break?
I'm learning my lesson too late

I should've committed to pourin' out love, because life isn't promised
But we don't admit it 'til we pour out Henny and run out of options
I'm huggin' my cousin, I tell him I love him, I'm finally honest
And throughout the pain and all the despair, I'm seekin' out solace

I'm searchin' for words that never occur
Remember the call, but then it's a blur
Dressed in all black, I straighten my back
But I feel detached from what I observe (this shit ain't for real)

No more funerals this year
'Cause I can't take it
I wanna make this shit real clear
'Cause I can't take no more
No more funerals this year
'Cause I can't take it
No more funerals this year (naw)
'Cause I can't take no more

When the year began, I didn't know this kind of pain
This every day kind that never goes away
Life ain't the same, I don't know what else to say
I just know that I can't take it if we dig another grave

They say when it rains, it pours, so I'm weathering the storm
My routine may be the same, but ain't a damn thing normal
So many memories now, I know I'll make y'all proud
Not a day goes by, I don't think about all my angels in the sky
I can't help but wonder why y'all had to leave so soon
I won't forget that feeling

Room full of people, grief through the roof
Didn't know what to expect, couldn't accept it
Not many others like y'all I respected
Perspective has changed, priorities different

Keepin' your name's alive is my mission
Your legacy lives on
Through all the people whose lives you've reached
Stories we tell, keep us compelled
To always remember the times that we shared

Learning to cope every single day
Doing what I can, tryna find a way
Even though I know it'll never change
I pray for this pain to fade away

No more funerals this year
'Cause I can't take it
I wanna make this shit real clear
'Cause I can't take no more
No more funerals this year
'Cause I can't take it
No more funerals this year (naw)
'Cause I can't take no more

'Cause I can't take no more
'Cause I can't take no more
