(Door closes)

(Camera recording)

The smallest bee
And the biggest flowers
All the nectar he could drink
He flies around–

Where are you going with this?

My dad is dead
And all I can think about
Is a song I wrote about a bee
And death, of course

Don’t they love to tell ya
That the grass always greener?
The grass always greener
On the other side
What was it like?
What was it like?
Oh tell me what was it like?

Don’t they often tell ya
That the grass it was greener
The grass always greener
On the other side
What was it like?
Tell me what was it like?

Listen just to preface
I’m an ignorant prick
So when I see the world
I see a chief
A gavel, and a priest
And new laws screaming at empty seats
Old folks nodding off in robes
I am not a solution to the throes
Of people sleeping in the streets
Dejected on their phones
Losing hope
And putting spikes on the benches
That shit’s depressing
Prices lifting up the roof
Man we’ll be done before the reckoning
Or the sun burns a hole through
Their looking for Rihanna to get out of the rain
Yeah I am a man of privilege
But i’m a relative to pain
My father had a plan to give back to his
But you don’t ever have a plan to get sick
Or see a day through
First it was the bills
Spirit raised too

I saw his likeness as a bobble head
Eyes rolling back and snapping nodding on and off again
He said,
“I’ll be next door soon”
I said
“Whatcha mean Dad?”
He said
“I don’t know, do you?”

Don’t they love to tell ya
That the grass always greener?
The grass always greener
On the other side
What was it like?
What was it like?
Oh tell me what was it like?

Don’t they often tell ya
That the grass it was greener
The grass always greener
On the other side
What was it like?
Tell me what was it like?

I have no idea how to approach
The death of my father
So for now i’m going to make songs
Unapologetically make songs

After all,
They will all be gone
And they don’t think about you
