| Forgive me I’ve been drinking
|
| Backroad and then thinking
|
| Remember when the band played on while the ship sinking
|
| No matter what I do theres no escaping my past
|
| I do everything I can and it keeps chasing my ass
|
| I know my karma is constant for all the hearts that I’ve broke
|
| Knowing I’ll never be forgive, that shit bothers my soul
|
| When it’s thrown up in my face man that shit fucks up my day
|
| No matter what I do I feel I’m only judged by mistakes
|
| Even if the good outweighs it by a million to one
|
| They still gon' hate me for the single fucking thing that I done
|
| Even if the good outweighs it by a million to one
|
| They still gon' hate me for the single fucking thing that I done
|
| I try not to think of hard times
|
| I try hard to let the past go
|
| I thank God that I’m a changed man
|
| But somedays I’m that same asshole
|
| The same old me, the same backroad
|
| A couple of crosses and a black rose
|
| Singing the same old sad song
|
| I must admit I’m infatuated with sad clowns
|
| I guess they help me better understand my Dad now
|
| Those that entertain at the expense of pain
|
| Those that dance in the rain instead of just complain
|
| My brother always said I was ahead of the game
|
| Even before the fucking money hit the jealousy came
|
| Put it all on the line there’s no regrets in this shit
|
| I admit besides the blessings there was lessons in it
|
| They say life is a marathon tighten up 'cause you gotta run
|
| I know that the dollar spends as fast as the dollar comes
|
| Why these other rap dudes in the strip club with a lot of ones?
|
| I’m just trying to buy a crib and start my kids a college fund for-real
|
| I try not to think of hard times
|
| I try hard to let the past go
|
| I thank God that I’m a changed man
|
| But somedays I’m that same asshole
|
| The same old me, the same backroad
|
| A couple of crosses and a black rose
|
| Singing the same old sad songs
|
| Can I be real for a Minute?
|
| Release this passion within
|
| My fat ass gettin bigger, I need to go back to the gym
|
| I’m lookin at myself like how the fuck this happened again
|
| Baby-Mama got out of jail and then relapsed again
|
| I swear I’m tellin y’all the truth, there’s so much shit in the air
|
| My father got leukemia, he just left critical care
|
| Not to mention mama’s got dementia, man she’s always feeling sick
|
| I try to help her pay the rent but she’s unhappy as it gets
|
| I cannot complain because my daughter’s doin great
|
| Plus this music-shit's a dream, what the fuck you think it ain’t?
|
| But please make no mistake, baby after the show
|
| I’m all alone on this road headin' back to my home
|
| I try not to think of hard times
|
| I try hard to let the past go
|
| I thank God that I’m a changed man
|
| But somedays I’m that same asshole
|
| The same old me, the same backroad
|
| A couple of crosses and a black rose
|
| Singing the same old sad songs |
