Spirit tablet
A spirit tablet, memorial tablet, or ancestral tablet, is a placard used to designate the seat of a deity or past ancestor as well as to enclose it. With origins in traditional Chinese culture, the spirit tablet is a common sight in many East Asian countries where any form of ancestor veneration is practiced. Spirit tablets are traditional ritual objects commonly seen in temples, shrines, and household altars throughout China and Taiwan.
General usage
A spirit tablet is often used for deities and ancestors, with shrines found in households or in temples, where there are specific rooms for individual spirit tablets for ancestors. A spirit tablet acts as an effigy of a specific deity or ancestor. When used, incense sticks are usually burned before the tablet. Sometimes fruits, tea, pastries, or other offertory items are placed near the tablet to offer food to that particular spirit. In Taoism, spirit tablets are often used for ancestors and sometimes such tablets are found under deities, which represent the enclosed spirit of the deity. In Buddhism, spirit tablets are used in the same manner, but Buddhist tablet usage is not limited to ancestors, but to wandering spirits, demons, hungry ghosts, and even to the living (for perpetual blessing of the donor). In Japanese Buddhism, tablets are used in funeral rites and stored in the home altar to the Buddha. Tablets are also common in Japanese temples.

by: JoJoSometiems I need to paint, you can be my canvas
Sometimes I want to escape, even though it's selfish
I'm always comin over and smokin you out
Because everything is better with a blunt in your mouth
As the clock strikes twelve I'll be freakin you out
Make us both forget what we were worried about

I hop in the whip cuz there's not much time
I'm gonna get to you
Fly through the streets like a hawk to the sky
Be in and out like a drive by
I'm gone. to take. the canyon
It feels so good because i know that it's wrong
Get back home, ain't nothin goin on
I'm gone. to take. the canyon
Sometimes i bite my lip so i don't slip and say his name
Cuz in these magic moments i get homesick all the same
I'm always comin over and smokin you out
Because everything is better with a blunt in your mouth
If i waited for you i'd just be waiting alone
So when the clock strikes 2 i'll be on my way home
