Beam Me Up

Sometimes I miss the hood,

The hood in the summertime is the most fun,

I’ve ever had in my life,

Take me to a hole in the wall,

And they want me to give that up,

To be accepted into elite society…

D.J. can you just play it for me,

So I can drink again,

Can you just play it for me,

I want to drink again,

D.J. can you just play it for me,

So I can drink again,

I need something to blame it on,

Pour another drink.

Smoking in the rain,

Driving to your house,

Trying to keep my eyes open,

Thinking if you will let me in,

After my drunken stupor,

Random scratches on my face,

I have a feeling I showed my black ass,

I’m holding back my laugh,

I don’t know if I hurt anyone,

With a drunken mouth,

And got socked in the eye for it,

But I had a time last night,

Right before my lights went out,

I was dancing to my song,

Play it for me,

And I want to drink again,

D.J. can you just play it for me,

So I can drink again,

Can you just play it for me,

I want to drink again,

D.J. can you just play it for me,

So I can drink again,

I need something to blame it on,

Pour another drink.

After a night with my blood,

I’m driving to your house,

To be the husband,

I make no apologies,

For having fun with my family,

I missed the numbness,

That set my poor soul free,

Even though you don’t want me too,

I make no apologies,

For I am a man,

Raised by the corn,

That only go out to drink,

To get some peace of mind,

So D.J. take me back,

Play my song one more time,

Before I go home.

Baby!,

Come on baby,

You know I love you,

Can I-I-I-I get a kiss.

Baby!,

(Ouuu),

Come on baby,

I just-I just, can’t help myself,

I been in love with you,

Since the day we met,

But I’m a man,

Born of a Black man,

Who kept a bottle for himself,

And if I choose to drink,

Well! I guess I will.

If I gotta stay a poor man,

I’m gonna drink and let the D.J. play my song.

Out in the wilderness,

Casted by psychedelics,

Walking through dust,

The trees are alive,

Purifying the land,

I mixed it with drugs,

And I lost my breath,

I said I lost my breath,

I said I lost my breath,

(Ouuu)

Gasping for air,

I stumbled to the beech,

Like a lost soul to the alter,

In need of a fix,

Touched the bark with both hands,

And wind blew back into my body,

I said when blew back into my body..

I coughed seven times,

Then could finally breathe,

At this point,

God said,

Why do you keep testing me?

Are you enthused with my powers?

I am in the trees,

I am in you,

And we are called to care for every living thing,

Just like the tree,

I sat in its shade,

And became sober.

Beam me up,

I just want to be sober,

Beam me up,

I just want to be free,

Bean me up,

I just want to be sober,

I just want to be free.

Beam me up,

I just want to be sober,

Beam me up,

I just want to be free,

Bean me up,

I just want to be sober,

I just want to be free.

Thank you D.J.
