about

This song is about a FREAKIN' RAISIN!!!

lyrics

I was born big and round
Now I’m neither
Cali sun beating down
Shining brighter
Than anything i’d ever seen
Except for my botanic dreams

We drinkin’ up , we flex all day
All to impress the sommelier

But that’s not meant to be
No the life of a grape ain’t meant for me no

I shriveled up and dried
Now it’s my time to die
In this grave with my friends
No more dreams of wine
Here in aisle 9
I’ll just wait for the end, oh
The life of a raisin

When I grew from the ground
So inspired
Little squeeze, you will drown
Wine or cider?

I’m looking left, they’re getting picked
There musta been an accident
I’m looking right, they’re lookin’ dry
I’m freakin’ out, life on the vine

But that’s not meant to be
No the life of a grape ain’t meant for me no

I shriveled up and dried
Now it’s my time to die
In this grave with my friends
No more dreams of wine
Here in aisle 9
I’ll just wait for the end, oh
The life of a raisin

Sitting here on the shelf
Fuckin’ Meijer
Feel a shake what the hell
Gettin’ dire

I’m lookin’ up , I see a fist
Move to the left , it barely missed
Look to the right, shit where is Dave
We could have been a chardonnay

But that’s not meant to be
No the life of a grape ain’t meant for me no

I recall when we all expired
Sitting here on vine
All alone as our friends were gathered
To be enshrined as red wine

I shriveled up and dried
Now it’s my time to die
In this grave with my friends, oh
The life of a raisin
No more dreams of wine
Here in aisle 9
I’ll just wait for the end, oh
The life of a raisin
