The Ceremony

[Intro: Violent J]
Yeah, I tell it straight, larger than life, ceremonial

[Chorus: Violent J]
Gimme somethin' epic and grand
To suit this song, this super situation (Hey)
To pin some medals on the men
Where my deepest admiration (Hey)
One can't measure the worth
Of the loyalty and dedication
They are the backbone, (Hey) the heart (Hey)
The brain, (Hey) and the dick to our creation (Hey)
Let this serve as your invitation (Woo)
To my grandest cеlebration (Woo)
On they chest, a mеdal will be placed (Woo)
So please give this heavy rotation (Hey)
And they own my greatest adulation (Hey)
And my fullest appreciation (Hey)
How quickly I would give me own (Woo)
To save their life, (Woo) no hesitation (Hey)

[Verse 1: Violent J]
The first medal's for Shaggy, (Shaggy)
I won't front, I love him, that's my brother
I love lovin' how much I love
To love that funky scrubber
If he was fat, I'd love his blubber
Stretch it like rubber
Give him a flubber like a baby's jelly belly
But he older than a mother fucker
Shaggy been a cutie pie
Let him in that booty, bye
Without a ticket, you won't meet again
'Til he skeet in your friend
That man's an entrepreneur
Meet greets and concerts galore
Pictures and autographs, gets all the laughs
Does he call your ass? Sure! Not
Scores his first neden at fourteen
Of course, she was wetter than scorching
I said when you're done, let me see if I can get the shot
He said he would, but then forgot
I waited with a woody outside 'til dawn came
Walked home all lame
But of course I love my boy all the same
He taught me everything
Back then, quick to dump and still might
Quick to jump in any bullshit fight
Gives not a fuck who's wrong or right
For this scrub on the mic, he'd die tonight
Speakin' on him now got me wellin' up
Lookin' like a big fat pussy that I ain't
But if I start to cry, I'ma kick somebody in the asshole
Fuckin' up my paint

[Chorus: Violent J]
Gimme somethin' epic and grand
To suit this song, this super situation (Hey)
To pin some medals on the men
Where my deepest admiration (Hey)
One can't measure the worth
Of the loyalty and dedication
They are the backbone, (Hey) the heart (Hey)
The brain, (Hey) and the dick to our creation (Hey)
Let this serve as your invitation (Woo)
To my grandest celebration (Woo)
On they chest, a medal will be placed (Woo)
So please give this heavy rotation (Hey)
And they own my greatest adulation (Hey)
And my fullest appreciation (Hey)
How quickly I would give me own (Woo)
To save their life, (Woo) no hesitation (Hey)

[Verse 2: Violent J]
The next medal's Billy Bill's
His cannonball fists will cave your head in
From the south
Where families tighter than body builder neden
Entire families go to war
Tradin' turns with lunacy-ass behavior
Even granny out there fist fightin' the neighbor
While the bitch in labor
That's why Billy Bill's so quick to commit
Despite how gritty that shit can get
He don't waste nobody's time complainin'
Four decades friendship remainin'
And not one time in our history
Has he ever left me to hang (Never)
Billy runs our gang, his praise we sang
Inner City Posse over everythang (ICP)

[Verse 3: Violent J]
The Rude Boy's next to get a fat-ass medal
'Cause his balls he lets 'em hang out
He put that Zug funk in my lungs and said
Rap songs you should bang out
He told me Southwest Side, think about (Yup)
I know you ain't got no bank account (Nope)
Picture some big blank amount
There's ya goal, spank it out (Bloop)
His family let me gank the couch
I never got shanked thanks to they clout
I feel in debt, I cop a mil to 'em
Bad moods, Rudy killin' ruin
Life, the Rude Boy always schoolin' (Yup)
Once his mind set, ain't no foolin' (No)
The world is his, he don't sit home droolin'
With a aura shiny and hot, [?]

[Chorus: Violent J]
Gimme somethin' epic and grand
To suit this song, this super situation (Hey)
To pin some medals on the men
Where my deepest admiration (Hey)
One can't measure the worth
Of the loyalty and dedication
They are the backbone, (Hey) the heart (Hey)
The brain, (Hey) and the dick to our creation (Hey)
Let this serve as your invitation (Woo)
To my grandest celebration (Woo)
On they chest, a medal will be placed (Woo)
So please give this heavy rotation (Hey)
And they own my greatest adulation (Hey)
And my fullest appreciation (Hey)
How quickly I would give me own (Woo)
To save their life, (Woo) no hesitation (Hey)

[Verse 4: Violent J]
The last medal's for my brother Rob
I can't fathom the blessing
My childhood would've fuckin' sucked without him
I don't mind confessin'
Despite my father's abandonment (Hm)
Molesting stepdad (Oh), poverty (What?)
Runaway sister (Eh), bully-filled hallways (Oh)
Cool kids (What?) who labeled us oddities (Oh)
I'da never survived any of it
If Rob hadn't wrapped me up in his angel wings
And showed me how to escape
How to explore, and the relief it brings
His constant presence was my protection
From the demons of loneliness
We quickly recognized the magic of Picker Forest
And made a home of this
I'da let the surrounding picker bushes
Prevent my entering and never found it
Rob instilled with in me determination
And showed me its rewards profounded
But his greatest gift to me, above all else
Was the knowledge of the power of imagination
All its infinite possibilities
Despite the fucked up reality I'm facin'
And today they call this middle age
But I know my middle age was long ago
My heart begins to weaken, Rob starts freakin'
The tweakin' to keep me strong as a bull
He's still here, he won't let me fail
What'd I do to deserve a saint for a big brother?
I'll never have a clue, but it's true
My crew is a blessin', blessed to have each other

[Chorus: Violent J]
Gimme somethin' epic and grand
To suit this song, this super situation (Hey)

Where my deepest admiration (Hey)
One can't measure the worth
Of the loyalty and dedication
They are the backbone, (Hey) the heart (Hey)
The brain, (Hey) and the dick to our creation (Hey)
Let this serve as your invitation (Woo)
To my grandest celebration (Woo)

So please give this heavy rotation (Hey)
And they own my greatest adulation (Hey)
And my fullest appreciation (Hey)
