Roadside

Lyrics by：Tyrone Lindo/Jayceon Taylor/Stanley Benton/Cash Jones ASCAP)

My lawyer's son died in his sleep last night

Got me thinkin' 'bout who I was in my past life

To be surrounded by so much pain

I understand my karma but why is there's the same

Two good people two amazin' sons

Just yesterday they had both now they raisin' one

I look at the clouds and just think

I could lose mine or they could lose me in one blink

When I think one day it all ends I start to drink

And fathom suicide 'cause I was almost on the brink

And it feel like my family been jinxed

Ever since I found my grandmother stiff

Leanin' over the kitchen sink

I could cry enough tears to float Noah's Ark

Perfect health but she died of a broken heart

And after that it was a domino effect

First my uncle then my daddy I guess I'm in line next

I got lost on roadside

Yeah I lost my way

I give thanks to the most high

'Cause he kept me safe

Hope to God that I don't die

So I pray

If I go momma don't cry

I was on roadside

I was on roadside

How come you can't learn a lesson until you go through it

How come you can think about the past but can't go to it

If I could I would float through it

Walk up to Triple X's BMW window and stick a note to it

Tell him to drive off the Devil comin'

Ever since he fell form Heaven he been tryin' to settle somethin'

I keep the faith and try not to question God

But I got a problem when I see innocent people die

I sympathize with Jews I sympathize with blacks

Sympathize with Natives America's yours if you want it back

Where the hunger at

Problem under a tree in Mississippi by the river where they hung us at

If Jesus walked why we all runnin' laps

Feel like endin' racism further than where the Sun is at

A war to keep people from people how dumb is that

I guess we shouldn't keep our thoughts on the front of hats

I got lost on roadside

Yeah I lost my way

I give thanks to the most high

'Cause he kept me safe

Hope to God that I don't die

So I pray

If I go momma don't cry

I was on roadside

I was on roadside

For sure that my soul will fly

Coal drippin' on the other side yeah

I know it happened to me every time

Cold out on the roadside

Thumb high in the wind itch

I tell my momma I'ma be right down

I'll be home in a few weeks

Soon 'till then I'll sing this song to you

I got lost on the roadside

Yeah I lost my way

I give thanks to the most high

'Cause he kept me safe

Hope to God that I don't die

So I pray

If I go momma don't cry

I was on roadside

I got lost on roadside

Yeah I lost my way

I give thanks to the most high

'Cause he kept me safe

Hope to God that I don't die

So I pray

If I go momma don't cry

I was on roadside

I was on roadside
