The Past (Explicit)

And I sing songs about the past:

How I was raised and how I was thrown out on my ass

'Cause I didn't care 'bout goin' to school

And I saw the look in her eyes

My mother nearly cried when I told her I wanted to go-

Just to prove them wrong

I've been smokin' cigarettes since I was only 14

Just to find an escape from this town that was so mean to me

And I sing songs about the friends:

The way we grew up and all the loose ends

We used to laugh 'cause we didn't give a damn

And I saw the look in my brother's eyes

When I told him I was leaving he couldn't help but despise me-

He's wanted out his whole life

I've been smokin' the green since I was merely 16

Just to find an escape from this town that was so mean to me

And I sing songs about the past

I plea for relief

This town won't receive

All the things that I want the things that I need

And I'll beg and I'll beg-

I'm down on my knees

Momma oh momma

Let me please leave

I plea for relief

This town won't receive

All the things that I want the things that I need

And all I ever wanted was love
