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 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 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 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 don't die So I pray If I go, mama, don't cry I was on the roadside I was on the roadside How 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 at If 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 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 don't die So I pray If I go, mama, don't cry I was on the roadside I was on the roadside For 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 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 don't die So I pray If I go, mama, don't 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 don't die So I pray If I go, mama, don't cry I was on the roadside I was on the roadside
