Letra de Roadside
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 their'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 blinkWhen 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 nextI 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, mama, don't cry I was on the roadside I was on the roadsideHow 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 from 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? Probably under a tree in Mississippi By the river where they hung us atIf Jesus walked, why we all runnin' laps? Feel like endin' racism further than where the sun is at A wall to keep people from people, how dumb is that? I guess we shouldn't put our thoughts on the front of hatsI 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, mama, don't cry I was on the roadside I was on the roadsideFor sure that my soul will fly Cold, drippin' on the other side I know it happened to me every time Caught out on the roadside Thumb high in the wind, itch I tell my mama I'ma be alright now I'll be home in a few weeks Soon, 'til then I'll sing this song to youI 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, mama, don't cry I was on the roadsideI 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, mama, don't cry I was on the roadside I was on the roadside
