Brown Skinned Martha Lyrics by Greaseball

Happiness To Me

2017

[Intro]
Martha, O Martha
Hey Martha
Come here Martha
'cuz
[Verse 1]
Martha it's a dog-gone shame
You tried to throw a party but the cops still came
On the block throwing rocks at gangs
Got a fire in their bellies but they're not gon' bang
How's the weather down there in Rialto?
How's your cousin Joe's dislocated elbow?
How's the rain sound when it falls sideways?
You heard gunshots it must've been Friday
I heard you went and found yourself a new friend
I heard he looks like that weird boy Lorenzo
What a thing
I really hope he means it when he tells you that he loves you
Sees my name in Olde English on your skin
Falling off a Schwinn
Learning how to swim
Where'd it all begin?
The alcohol can't wash away the sin
I've been losing but I'm learning how to win again
[Verse 2]
It's a shame we're the same you and I
The same bandana and the same do or die mentality
Clique, hope the gravity sticks fatality shit ain't mattering
This is happiness
Hope your mama don't see, smell the 40 ounces
Hear the dominoes clink
Screamin' vámonos I'll watch as your body goes week
And tomorrow ain't promised but this bottle runs deep
I hope your uncle makes it home for your birthday
I hope you liked me back even in the first place
I'll help your brother find the men who had stole your bike
I want to take control tonight
Help me calm down those big ass dreams
The block ain't big as it seems
Tell your grandma not to worry I'll be bringing you home
And tell her that you'll never be alone again
[Verse 3]
I'm leaving roses at your window
I cruise by to catch a scent of the indo' smoke
I saw you laughing at your pitbull
I would've took you out to dance I was still too broke
I've been cleaning up my act though
And I've been meaning to address all of those dreams you had
We can throw in on a sack though
And I can show you that I ain't so bad
I heard your tia's moving in and that's a bad look
And this semester you didn't get a math book
Your overdosing might've made you miss a class though
And I still think the priest was an asshole
Do I pour the beer or drink it in your memory?
Do I thank you for ever sitting next to me?
I know you're out there pressing the issue
Dear Martha, oh how we miss you
