Roadside

[00:11.051]My lawyer's son died in his sleep last night
[00:13.898]Got me thinkin’ 'bout who I was in my past life
[00:16.516]To be surrounded by so much pain
[00:18.601]I understand my karma, but why is their's the same?
[00:21.785]Two good people, two amazin’ sons
[00:23.999]Just yesterday, they had both, now they raisin' one
[00:27.486]I look at the clouds and just think
[00:29.397]I could lose mine, or they could lose me in one blink
[00:32.015]When I think one day it all ends, I start to drink
[00:34.749]And fathom suicide, 'cause I was almost on the brink
[00:37.368]And it feel like my family been jinxed
[00:39.407]Ever since I found my grandmother stiff
[00:41.228]Leanin' over the kitchen sink
[00:43.253]I could cry enough tears to float Noah's Ark
[00:45.805]Perfect health, but she died of a broken heart
[00:48.407]And after that, it was a domino effect
[00:50.641]First my uncle, then my daddy, I guess I'm in line next
[00:54.002]I got lost on the roadside
[00:57.162]Yeah, I lost my way
[00:59.291]I give thanks to the Most High
[01:02.455]'Cause he kept me safe
[01:04.346]Hope to God that I don't die
[01:08.130]So I pray
[01:09.849]If I go, mama, don’t cry
[01:12.424]I was on the roadside
[01:17.955]I was on the roadside
[01:25.891]How come you can’t learn a lesson until you go through it?
[01:28.535]How come you can think about the past, but can't go to it?
[01:31.374]If I could, I would float through it
[01:33.046]Walk up to Triple X’s BMW window and stick a note to it
[01:36.364]Tell him to drive off, the Devil comin'
[01:38.878]Ever since he fell from Heaven, he been tryin' to settle somethin'
[01:41.961]I keep the faith and try not to question God
[01:44.145]But I got a problem when I see innocent people die
[01:46.783]I sympathize with Jews, I sympathize with blacks
[01:49.451]Sympathize with Natives, America’s yours if you want it back
[01:52.730]Where the hunger at?
[01:54.396]Probably under a tree in Mississippi by the river where they hung us at
[01:57.734]If Jesus walked, why we all runnin' laps?
[02:00.207]Feel like endin' racism further than where the sun is at
[02:03.129]A war to keep people from people, how dumb is that?
[02:05.681]I guess we shouldn't put our thoughts on the front of hats
[02:08.675]I got lost on the roadside
[02:11.824]Yeah, I lost my way
[02:13.724]I give thanks to the Most High
[02:17.147]'Cause he kept me safe
[02:19.024]Hope to God that I don't die
[02:22.782]So I pray
[02:24.498]If I go, mama, don't cry
[02:27.023]I was on the roadside
[02:32.518]I was on the roadside
[02:40.665]For sure that my soul will fly
[02:43.181]Cold, drippin' on the other side
[02:45.783]I know it happened to me every time
[02:48.455]Caught out on the roadside
[02:51.141]Thumb high in the wind, itch
[02:53.149]I tell my mama I'ma be alright now
[02:56.430]I'll be home in a few weeks
[02:58.380]Soon, 'til then I'll sing this song to you
[03:01.933]I got lost on the roadside
[03:05.126]Yeah, I lost my way
[03:06.990]I give thanks to the Most High
[03:10.412]'Cause he kept me safe
[03:12.389]Hope to God that I don't die
[03:15.998]So I pray
