๐ Lyrics
I woke up in a bad place
Stepped out of the rat race
It was one of those days
I started heading home
Everything was surreal
I'm thinking is this for real?
Sunshine and the wind chill
Was 20 below
I smoke a butt from an ashtray
I watched a lady sashay
I'm sitting at a stop light
She's walking cross the road
Right when the light turned green (light turned green)
She stopped right in front of me (front of me)
She looked through my windshield (looked at me)
And proceeded to scream
I won't back down, and I won't run away
I got faith in all that's good, and you're now in my way
I will work hard, and I will live the songs
Gonna do my part in many things, gonna change
This is where it starts
I walked into a bar
I hadn't been to in years
The same old doubts and fears
Hung in the air
I saw my old friend Dave
I heard that he'd got saved
Pulled up a chair and said, boy, what the hell you doing here?
I aksed him the same thing
Then I watched his face change
Never answered the question
He offered me some cocaine
And I remembered why ('membered why)
I quit going to that place (to that place)
A tear came to my eye (to my eye)
And I started to scream
I won't back down, and I won't run away
I got faith in all that's good, and you're now in my way
I will work hard, and I will live the songs
Gonna do my part in many things, gonna change
This is where it starts
And while I made a lot of mistakes in my lifetime
But I'm fine
Been blindsided
By the temptations
Them days
Are behind me
Now they remind me
How I'm only one step away from a bad decision
Listen to this edition
Closely, mostly
Got some okey-dokey
Got a family, and damnit we need some groceries
I been called a basket case
But so was Moses
I spit flows
That split oceans
Them hoes
Should give blows[?]
And them coke and shit all in their noses
Knowin they say me, I've been chosen
For this and they imposin
[?]On this tactics, that's it, no more friends
Step aside and get your head broke open
I won't back down, and I won't run away
I got faith in all that's good, and you're now in my way
I will work hard, and I will live the songs
Gonna do my part in many things, gonna change
This is where it starts
Stepped out of the rat race
It was one of those days
I started heading home
