| Before I say goodbye I’d like to say good day
|
| And I hope you say «good buy"when they ask was it worth for you to pay
|
| For my music, for pressin' play
|
| For all the stress that went into my songs
|
| My love and hate
|
| The most honest I could be with you to date
|
| Is to say thank thank you Shady
|
| For lettin' me be me with no holds barred
|
| Thank you for the chance to enhance this old car
|
| This old jar of moonshine is but two lines on a blank sheet but so far
|
| These two lines point directed to my home on the mothership sonar
|
| Valet UFOs, I go park
|
| The dirty south needs a soap bar
|
| In the mouth of these MCs but
|
| But who am I to judge on what they love?
|
| I guess they enjoy being broke and co-stars
|
| And I’m soakin' so hard
|
| From the sweat that I could take my clothes off
|
| I done fucked and raped the whole yard
|
| Should sit back and shake the gold off
|
| But I’m already gone
|
| I got a vision like Teller, sons
|
| In an envelope like letters
|
| Lettuce, green, money, long
|
| Wolfpacks in a calzone
|
| I’ll keep makin' these albums
|
| Yeah you might have heard a dial tone
|
| But I was on the other line when I hung up the phone
|
| I’ll send a postcard when I leave
|
| I think about you when I dream
|
| And when I’m up under the high beams
|
| I reflect that shining
|
| So you can feel the heat of light
|
| A life of violence 'til I die in
|
| Yeah I’ve done come a long way
|
| From Dixie Land, take my hand
|
| I’m talkin' lowriders, 77 Devilles
|
| L-Dogs, nothin' but them 'Lacs
|
| Sittin' on boxes in the front yard of the trailer park
|
| Hell, one time for the single wides and the little cribs
|
| Two times if you know what it’s like to fuckin' live
|
| Three times in a row you’ve been late on the rent
|
| Four times before you did the same old shit
|
| Baby done grown up, workin' that bid like a grown up
|
| Fuckin' toned up, let the Glock talk, I’ma gon' hush
|
| Just like daddy taught me, wait I didn’t have one
|
| Fuck it, I’m happy for him, cause he got a bad one
|
| I popped outta that Easy Bake, land of the 'Bama, clean and safe
|
| Dropped outta high school, reason, hey, I’m already high from a seedless eighth
|
| And they wonder why I speak this way
|
| And ye ain’t ever seen this place
|
| Well here’s your American pie
|
| It’s a Dixie piece of cake |
