Dedicated to ‘Uncle’ Lionel Batiste and Dinerall Shavers (RIP)

lyrics

you have a ball you set alight you throw it up you don’t look

like what? a trophy next to me? an analog / a metaphor / a synecdoche / an argument to have a snap vasectomy / a median that means your hands have atrophied / immediate discourse / I mediate six swords / a media trick horse / in medias res, dorks / ‘drop right here when you’re ready to bounce’ / ‘15 years, Youngblood get down’ / stay out of sight from the stars and critics / I’ve evaded the shit-hitting / fans are with it / guard the color well / ‘yeah flags, get it’ / I’m gonna set it off, you go home and shed it / I heard you twice the first time you said it / keep rhymes embedded / each guy a veteran pro at murdering shows / burgers and bros / your sentences blow / my sentences? whoa / a death one on my bed for breakfast / my best hope: make it hot and forget this / make good on a promise to rep this / make fire by sparking a set list / have a ball, set a light, throw it up, don’t look, do work / just keep walking / because it’s all just a night in a club in a book / truth hurts / please stop talking

you have a ball you set alight you throw it up you don’t look

at the city with the most love for brass bands / nola: the crescent where cats are playing tambourine like a mardi gras indian / need a beat? Uncle Lionel: that’s the man / bring the heat on a motherfucking frying pan like the world commanded you to hit this here hoe blade, cowbell, bottle of beer / all signs of work turned to fire tonight / the kind of symphonies america doesn’t like / who cares / they got a word no one else can write / but why does all our best work have to come out of strife / the baddest kid you’ll never hear is in New Orleans for life / so here’s a simile, love: I’m like a mic with a cord running from wisconsin to the 6th ward where’s there’s a drummer in a grave marked ‘Shavers’ / and I bet he’s still wearing a Hot 8 shirt / the earth’s got a funny kind of pay dirt / yo Dinerral, plug me in, I gotta say words / because I missed the funeral and the parade, Sir / and I’m sorry your memorial’s a lame verse / but have a ball, set a light, throw it up, don’t look, do work / just keep walking / because it’s all just a night in a club in a book / truth hurts / please stop talking

you have a ball you set alight you throw it up you don’t look
