Lyrics

Today I wasn't even gonna take a shower
And then I got a call sayin' that my cousin died in a fire
So I washed myself for what seemed like three hours
In tears and rusty water
I need some of that calgon take me away action, immediately
Before I start scrubbin' my hands hard, repeatedly
I'm stuck somewhere in lethargic mental reality
And a fuckin' tool video
Wake me up!
I've said goodbye too many times these 22 long ones
And here I am wavin' again
"So long, friend."
I shoulda told her how this town doesn't like when people leave
So it finds ways to keep 'em
It sews seeds and reaps 'em
And now she's part of their harvest
But different from all the others
Ask her mother how her smile touched souls and warms cold hearts
Monique, I miss you
I wish I coulda kissed you farewell
And given you that tattoo you always asked for
And when I'm done tattin' "thug life" on god's stomach
You got next
I'm done
Y'all take what you want from it
I'm going to wash my hands
I miss you, girl
