My lawyers son died in his sleep last night
Got me thinking bout who I was in my past life
To be surrounded by so much pain
I understand my karma but why is theirs the same?
Two good people two amazing sons
Just yesterday they had both now they raising one
I look at the clouds and just think
I could lose mine or they could lose me in one blink
When 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 leaning over the kitchen sink
I could cry enough tears to float Noahs Ark
Perfect health but she died of a broken heart
And after that it was domino effect
First my uncle then my daddy I guess Im in line next

I 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 dont die
So I pray
If I go momma dont cry
I was on the roadside
I was on the roadside

How come you cant learn a lesson until you go through it?
How come you can think about the past but cant go to it?
If I could I would float through it
Walk up to Triple Xs BMW window and stick a note to it
Tell him to drive off the devil coming
Ever since he fell from heaven he been trying to settle something
I keep the faith and try not to question God
But I gotta problem when I see innocent people die
I sympathize with Jews I sympathize with blacks
Sympathize with Natives Americas yours if you want it back
Where the hunger at?
Probably under a tree in Mississippi by the river where they hung us at
If Jesus walked why we all running laps?
Feel like ending racism further than where the sun is at

A war to keep people from people how dumb is that?
I guess we shouldnt put our thoughts on the front of hats

I 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 dont die
So I pray
If I go momma dont cry
I was on the roadside
I was on the roadside

Fall short and my soul will fly
Caught trippin on the other side
I know it happen to me every time
Caught out on the roadside
Thumb high in the wind ditch high
Tell my momma Ima be alright now
Ill be home in a few weeks soon
Til then Ill sing this song to you

I 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 dont die
So I pray
If I go momma dont cry
I was on the roadside

I 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 dont die
So I pray
If I go momma dont cry
I was on the roadside
I was on the roadside
