Dead Man's Tetris Lyrics


Hold up, hold up
I bet you thinking that we dead
Hold up, hold up
I have this bullet in my head
Hold up, hold up
Mama what's them words you said?
Hold up, hold up
Why you make us think you're dead?

Oh they, oh they, think we dead

Hold up, hold up
We 'bout to blow some trees
Hold up, pass the Austin and the Freddie Mercury
Don't need nobody, we bouncin' on that Astral Plane
Hold up, hold up
I think I just forgot my name
(That's cause you're dead)

Nickel plated nine
Bang bang blow your mind
Beep beep flatline
Gotta get your's, I been had mine
Hold my hand, laying in the bed
Family crying, they think he dead
No jokes no hoax
Felt his palm, he had no pulse
Could've been the drank, it might've been the smoke
In light of all that he was considered dope
And now I'm left to keep you strong
And I kept you Flying Lotus and I step too
You can't run, just gonna get you
I was live when I met you
Now this seems to upset you
This what the shit gon' get you, Death

Dead Man's Tetris Song Chart
  • This track features Flying Lotus spitting rhymes under his rap pseudonym of Captain Murphy. He is joined by Snoop Dogg and the pair rap about an afterlife fantasy involving the late J Dilla and Freddie Mercury over melodic bleeps and gunshot effects.
  • This is the oldest beat to make the You're Dead album. FlyLo explained in a press release that he's particularly interested in the afterlife and death's residual effects on the living. "The album isn't about the end, it's really the beginning," he said. "It's a celebration of the next experience."
