Flowers Video (MV)

April is the cruelest month
Flowers grow but humans slump
I send my blessings to the dying
Shout my curses to the ump
Shout my verses through the wires
Don't let my verses shrivel up
Travel mercies far and wide
Don't persecute
Don't persecute
Don't persecute me
Don't turn away your eyes when the curtains blow
Keep a little fire when the going's slow
Hear these words: you will survive
You've been through highs, and you've been through lows
Stay sensitized
Stay sanitized
Stay standing high
Don't lose your glow
I seen nurses smile wide
I seen hearses pimped in gold
Quarantine, quarantine, had to close
Streets so clean, gangs had to pause
Girls chase school lunch Santa Claus
While the boys sing unseen canticles
I hope come May time, flowers show
I smell them now through my window
Quarantine, quarantine, had to close
Quarantine, quarantine, had to close
How come Black Death has a thing for black souls
How come black and brown jobs are always essential
Grew up watching black hands working healing black dough
Black kingdom can't stand if the lungs can't hold
Round and round and round and round the wheel of luck go
Heard the same song twice, one was sweet and one slow
It said don't sacrifice your life, it told the team to let go
Oh, but we don't let go
No no, we don't let go
Quarantine, quarantine, had to close
Streets so clean, gangs had to pause
Girls chase school lunch Santa Claus
While the boys sing unseen canticles
I hope come May time, flowers show
I smell them now through my window
Quarantine, quarantine, had to close
Quarantine, quarantine, had to close
