Funeral (2020)
Everyone teary-eyed
--
Get shot from afar
You could get a facial
Black gun, chrome gun
Interracial
Weed so strong need ventilation
Funeral home need renovation
I got your moms teary-eyed
That's precipitation
Nigga when you died, did your bitch a favor
Nigga we gon mob like the Genoveses
Nigga fat mouth, I'ma Jenny Craig him
Drive-bys in a Winnebago
Snipers never hit a baby, crib, or cradle
Set tomatoes on your head
And split tomatoes from 100 feet away
Now it's a halo
That's tomato sauce
Heinz 57, catch up, nigga
You behind, where I left you
I hate your bitch, your mamma, and your fellas
Kids, cousins, uncle, aunts, and your nephews
Prrrt

I think the big question for any set of Wayne's lyrics is who is the "you" that he's talking to. Once you have that, it's a lot easier to let your imagination follow along with the conversation. In this case, all we can really know is that it was someone who had a problem with Wayne, or vice versa, and is now in a closed casket.
Here's the thing. Home invasion lyrics are some of my favorite. This track takes it to a whole new level with a funeral invasion. For me, the entire thing plays out like a movie where Wayne busts in and ruins everyone's day. The message is that he won't just stop when "you" are taken care of, but he'll take it a step further and tie up all the loose ends when they gather to mourn you. The best part is that he's talking to the casket the whole time like "look how bad you fucked up."
Ruthless.
