Quote from the song “DEARLY DEPARTED” by BROCKHAMPTON


I pray I find you at the bottom of the hill
I pray I make it outta Texas
I pray my A/C come back on
My mom was stuck outside her job
My sister just asked for a Lexus
Can Jesus send me a message?
What's the point of havin' a best friend if you end up losin' him?
World don't view my text messages
World don't view my text messages
Don't view my bad side
Only get on the 'Gram to show you motherfuckers the best side
Who am I? Who am I? Who am I?
Why I hide? Huh
Fourth grade, Mary J. Blige all I like
I made a mill' off a lie and a lie so I write another lie
RCA‚ that note wasn't 'bout y'all
No lies‚ it was about how me and my brothers been traumatized
And I must keep creatin' truths and hooks to get up outta this hell for myself
Seashells

[Verse 1: Kevin Abstract]

I pray I find you at the bottom of the hill
I pray I make it outta Texas
I pray my A/C come back on
My mom was stuck outside her job
My sister just asked for a Lexus
Can Jesus send me a message?
What's the point of havin' a best friend if you end up losin' him?
World don't view my text messages
World don't view my text messages
Don't view my bad side
Only get on the 'Gram to show you motherfuckers the best side
Who am I? Who am I? Who am I?
Why I hide? Huh
Fourth grade, Mary J. Blige all I like
I made a mill' off a lie and a lie so I write another lie

And I must keep creatin' truths and hooks to get up outta this hell for myself

[Chorus: Joba]

Dearly departed
Look what you've started
I've been so heartless
I try‚ I try, I try
Why?
Why?
Why?
Try

[Verse 2: Matt Champion]

Big dog, I feel like I don't got anybody on my side no more
Highest to low‚ truth be told
It's hard to ignore, hard to endure
Where's my stamina in this life?
Make sure my family tight
More rubies on my neck and they catch me at night
Lookin' immaculate, no one in sight
Standards are high‚ expectation is low
Wake up sweatin' at night, mind in a flight
I don't get scared no more when I'm standin' on the mountaintop
I'm afraid of people dyin'
Rest in peace Wako, Ray, Rita
Wish you could've took me to Japan
Back ten years, holdin' my hand, felt like a hundred grand
Wish them letters didn't fade, love will never do the same
Out the window screamin' your name, bless it
Mama on track, my dad got my back
My sister graduated, now she racin'
Love her through the days and whiskey in my hand
Bloody colored trinkets wrapped around my wrist
Lookin' magnificent, man
No stoppin' me, no boggin' me down
I know myself, me and the obstacles now
I done shit on myself too much to not know how to move properly now
On the property now, money gets foul
Keep your wits about you
They stretch the truth longer than the Nile
Eyes full of evil, mouth full of vile
They tracin' your smile
Stay alert, big dog
Only one life is offered to you
(Only one life is offered to you)

[Verse 3: Dom McLennon]

How many sides to a story can there be when you saw it with your own eyes?
I got all my thoughts out on records y'all won't ever hear
Tried to give it time
Find that truth trickles down, hits the fan
Freezes over like a dagger to the spine
When somebody that you know throws you in the fire
How do you survive?
I kicked down the door inside a home I didn't own just to save a friend's life
Little did I know, the one who pulled the strings was once on my side
I had just moved to Texas, tried to make it right
I do not feel obliged to dismiss the truth because of how I feel about our time
If I knew what you would do to someone you owe money to, you wouldn't get a dime
Watch for where you land, sorry 'bout your plans
That was all a scam, you won't understand
Pass the weight off to your friends and never face the truth
Because you never learned how to be a man
And it's not my fault, and it's not my problem anymore
That's just where you stand
That's just who you are
That's your cross to bear
You could talk to God
I don't wanna hear, motherfucker

FAQ & Knowledge Song “DEARLY DEPARTED”

  • ℚ. What have the artists said about the song?

    In an interview with Sway’s Universe, Kevin opened up on what “DEARLY DEPARTED” meant to him. When asked if this song was specifically about the departure of former member Ameer Vann, Kevin replied:

    It’s tied back to brotherhood, and I was just thinking […] how do you survive through moments like that?

    BROCKHAMPTON talked about the song in an August 30th, 2019 episode of Genius' For The Record series:

    Genius' Rob Markman: I think the response to that record, or the way that record has been read, is that it was a response to Ameer, to allegations against him, the broken bonds, and just the overall effects that it had on you guys individually, and as a group. Is it safe to say that? Is that right?

    Matt Champion: It’s part of it. I don’t think it’s the entirety of the song, […] but there’s pieces of it. I think there’s pieces of nostalgia, pieces of a regret from me losing people, like loved ones, lost ones, grandparents, stuff like that. There’s a bunch of it, of different moods in there, so I wouldn’t say that’s the main thing, but it’s definitely all mixed together.

    JOBA: I’ll say something else I think is worth clarifying about that track and how it was recorded is the way, and the order, we appear on it is the order we recorded. [Kevin Abstract] threw his shit down. I came in, started writing. I don’t even know where Dom and Matt were when we did that. And then, when Romil wrapped up, and I recorded, it was just me. And then, the others all came in and did their thing, and no one said a word to each other. We just hopped on the mic and it came out exactly that way.

    Markman: Are you feeding off of what you’re hearing on the track even though you’re not?

    JOBA: In hindsight. When I hear it back.

    Dom McLennon: I definitely was. I mean, I think that that song is as complicated as life is, if that makes sense. Because it’s layered, it’s tiered. And it’s totally fine for it to be that layered and tiered. One person can miss someone that did someone else wrong. That’s totally fine for them to miss them, and it’s also totally wrong for that person to feel wrong. None of those things are invalidated in the moment. And the fact that they can all exist together is what makes us us.
    I remember, I think I was late to that session actually, and everybody had their stuff laid down, and I’m sitting outside, just rolled up, smoking, and Romil came in and was like, “Yo, you need to hear this. You would fucking body this shit.” And I was just like, “Okay, sure.” And I go in the room, and I’m like listening to what everyone’s saying, what everyone’s talking about, and really what went through my head was I’ve seen a lot of people that aren’t even a part of our group have an opportunity to speak on the situation. People in our group have spoken on the situation. I’ve never said my piece. So, I took it as an opportunity to.

    Markman: Is it easier to say it in the verse than it is to talk about it?

    Dom: When we first recorded that, it was 1000 percent easier for me to articulate my feelings into that verse than it would be to have a conversation about it. But now that we’ve had conversations about it, I definitely can.

    Markman: Romil, what did you hear in the song that you knew that Dom would kill it?

    Romil Hemnani: Dom had to buy me new headphones because he broke mine. All that shit is real. Threw the mic down. Everything you hear is real life what happened.

    Dom: And that’s why I say a song like that is as complicated as life is.

    Romil: The song started with, I forget what I was doing, I was on YouTube just trying to find the most obscure songs, and I came across this one track I really loved, and we just threw it on. I was like, “You guys should just rap on this. It sounds awesome.” And Ian [Kevin Abstract] did his verse, and I loved how he approached the song. Kevin did his verse, and I love how it just felt like it was a conversation, like he was just talking to you. And then, JOBA did his bit. And then, Matt. And it just kind of felt set up to be like something where I feel Dom could kind of put the icing on the cake, and finish the song.

    JOBA: My grandma passed away around the same time. For some reason, couldn’t get to her funeral. It was like a freak show of canceled flights. On the other half, it’s about my grandma who has dementia. It’s tough to take those phone calls. Sometimes that makes you feel like a bad grandson, a bad person. Life just gets weird sometimes, and tough. And then, obviously, the allegations, and everything, that happened amongst us, had a little bit of a part as well. We’re all rooted in heavy stuff, none the less.
