Pulp Fiction

Uh, there
Turn my mic on so I can hear me a lil' bit
Nonstop on life,  gon' survive
It's in our plan to survive
Sunlight and love in the sunshine
Yeah, I plant the seed on the vine
We pray our family will survive
And grow to be strong in the sunshine
And grow to be strong in the sunshine
We give the love on the soil
Nothing there now can't be spoiled
Nothing of our sunshine
Now, we be getting a little sunshine
If my lovin', duh, nah, nah, no, no, no, no
Nah
No, no, no, nuh, fah, nah, no, my, my, my, my

We plant the thorns in the vine
We know we are all the vine
Now, all we need is sunshine
All we need is sunshine

See, I said "We plant the"
We say "We plant the seed in the
Vine" because we are the vine not "de-vine"
Because that means void of the vine
We are the vine, we are the root

We plant the seed in the vine
Now all we need is sunshine
We plant the seed in the vine
Now all we need, my in the vine

As we had the seed
We put the stronger soil around us
To make sure that we would grow in the mind
Once we have the stronger soil
With the most nutrients
All we need is a little sunshine
You know, some exposure
You don't need to keep your kids
We we don't need to keep our
Kids closed in and indoors
We need that exposure, we need that sunshine
But as long as they have a planet
With the best soil around them
And not to spoil around them
And not too all around them
I got somethin' bumpin' all around
Them, got the thump in, never round 'em
Watch the people that's around
Them, something's on, that's down
Another somethin' that could ground 'em
I didn't even know they got to fly us
Got some people that's gon' round 'em
I got something's on them, at 'em
And things they didn't allow
And that's just so they just cool us down
And then I know they stole 'em down, uh
Do you beat your kids?
Do you read to your kids?
Wanna be some kids?
Have you ever worked for somebody that ain't
Never wanna wanna meet your kids?
That's definitely a job, yeah

Plant, don't stop now in the vine
Now we need the sunshine
We plant the seed in the vine
All that we need is sunshine

How much energy we be putting
Into going to work?
How much energy we be putting into or
We gon' do this for our kids
But at that certain point
Your kid don't want a bigger room
Your kid don't want a bigger house
They actually want
The house smaller so they can be closer
To us

We plant the seed in the vine
All we need is sunshine
(Let me catch that, they say)
All that we need is sunshine
(We don't say that, we say
This, so like this, let 'em see)
All we need is sunshine
(Simplify, simplify, simplify) all

See, God is the simplicity
The devil is in the details
How they send 'em, they see tales, somethin'
Somethin' on retails
Got them pumped on, Fidel, lock them
See mails on the e mail
Got the green before they see Hell
Goin' hard like a shemale
You know what I mean
Get it? Goin' hard like a shemale? Shit

In the vine (Ha ha ha) this the, in the vine
All that we need is sunshine
All that we need is sunshine
All that we need is sunshine
All that we need is sunshine
We plant the seed in the vine
Now all that we need is some shine

You see, I said "now", uh, I'm used
To that, we used to that, right?
But there is no past, no present, no future
So the word "now" doesn't actually exist
It's stuck between space and time
So we avoid those words
We just say "We plant the seed in the vine"
And then say "All we need is sunshine"
Not "now", we always need it, it's not, no
Specifically not
'Cause like if somebody say, "Oh
You look good today"
But what about yesterday? Like
What are you talking about?
"Oh, you look real nice today" (Nah, yeah)
There's only one day, by the way
(All that we need)
So that's what we gon' do
We gon' take all the holidays and
Put 'em in one day
Christmas (Mm, mm, mm, mm)
The doors always open
So imagine this, I'ma give you the visual
When you wake up, every morning is Christmas
Every afternoon is Valentine's Day and then
Every night is New Year's Eve
Every morning is Christmas
Every afternoon is Valentine's Day and every
Night is New Year's Eve
Every morning is Christmas
Every afternoon is Valentine's Day and every
Night is New Year's Eve
Every morning is Christmas, mm
Every night, Valentine's Day, at night
It's New Year's
(First one got ahead so we gotta chop
It up to get the best version, so just)
Take all your favorite holidays
You know, I feel like in
Martin Luther King Day
For his dream to really be alive
We have to not celebrate, because
It what it does, 'cause it puts us
We have to not celebrate
The holiday because it
It puts us in the loop
Just keeps reminding us of the struggles
They start pulling up pictures
Of us getting hit
By dogs and firehoses and all that
You know like, my daughter
Came home from school, and her mother said
"My daughter our daughter came
Home from school" and our companion said
Because, just like
I was about to say like "our" and
"my wife" and "her mother", and
That, that separates us
So we should always be together somehow
So we just trying this out, this
Is just a lil' freestyle, you know?
The way we can speak to
Each other with non-violent communication
Also, it shouldn't be "non-violent" because
We should say "non-more violent"
But both of those are negative
So how can we say that in a positive way?
You say, um, "healing communication"
"sharing communication"
What's the opposite of separation?
What would be
A word that's the opposite of separation?
"Joining communication"?
"Joining communication"
"Our daughter arrived home"
Instead of saying "My kid
Came home from school"
You can't say "Kid, came, that, got"
You see, um
Grandmothers tell you "Don't say got"
You know what I'm sayin'? What
You got? Get it?

That's the dirt in the vine
All we, that we have
(So we don't need sunshine, how would I say I
Need it if I got it? You got sunshine
Sunshine's for free) in the vine
(So we plant our seeds in the vine, right?)
We have sunshine
(We just have it, we don't need it
We don't want it, we have sunshine
We have all we need)

So, so, our daughter arrived home
Her mother
I need to find a way to be able to say
What is the way I would
Say "my wife", "her mother"
At the same time?
One statement, so it's all become
This sorts of joining
Forming a communication
Do you know how to say that?
What's one word that will bond us together?
Yeah, "Our family discussed school"
You got that? I, I, I've been
Becuase what she said
She said "Tell Daddy what you
Learned at school today"
But we would say "Our
Family discussed school"
Um, but not "discussed" because I don't
Like it to sound like "disgusting"
What's another way to say "discussed"?
I don't know if I love the word "about"
Our family what? "In quorum", what?
What's "quorum"? Formed, "Our family formed"
Forumed, "Our family created a forum"
There you go
"Tell Daddy what you learned at school today"
And she said "I learned that
I'm black and Mommy's white"
I'm like "Damn, I wish she had the heads up"
And, uh, my wife said "No, no, she learned
That because it's Martin Luther King Day
And they had to tell her
Why we have the holiday"
So, a white woman let my
Daughter know that she has
A separation inside of this
Country from her mother
In order to inform her of
Martin Luther King holiday
Can we get can we get him on mic too?
Can you get him on the club
In the one where he's at?
Yeah, yeah, heheheheh, yeah, heheh
Can can you go closer to
'Quence right now? Or
If when you just get closer to him
Get real close to him so
We get as much, yeah, yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah, that's like if we had, uh
A holiday for couples that's like "Remember
When You Cheated on Me Day"
Ha ha hahahaha, haha
And you bringin' those start
Bringin' up the posts
"And 'member when I found your phone? And
'member what I was goin' through?"
Hahaha, we gon' have a "Remember When
You Cheated on Me Day" mm, yeah
You you gave that mic to 'Quence? yeah

Plant the seeds in the vine
