So Long Songtext
von Jelly Roll

I′ve been rolling down these dirty back old roads
For so long, so long, so long, so long, so long
I left the house when I was young
And told my mamma "I'm grown, I′m grown, I'm grown"
I'm gone, I′m gone

It′s fucked up on this side of the fence
Seen 'em die just to tryna get rich
Seen ′em die just to tryna pay rent
Man, I don't make no sense
Ever since I was a younger boy
Everybody told me I was a goner lord
But I wanted more


Than selling these packs at the corner store
Switch the game up and the shits get real
Addicted to prescription pills
I′m just out here tryna get these deals
Every week, another kid gets killed
Lord, please don't let me start this
These kids now, is so heartless
These trailers park and apartments
But they told me home is where my heart is

I′ve been rolling down these dirty back old roads
For so long, so long, so long, so long, so long
I left the house when I was young
And told my mamma "I'm grown, I'm grown, I′m grown"
I′m gone, I'm gone

They say white trash is a state of mind
That′s all I see in the state of mine
Did what I did and I stayed alive
And It's been like this since ′85
So many nights on these hopeless streets
Mamma's at the kitchen table smoking weed
Ridin′ round cathin' plays on Capri's
Only things that matter here


Who′s got the dope for cheap′s
Late nights, prayed to God
Mamma worked hard, had two jobs
Either you trap or you rob
Only two options against all odds
That's right, fast life
Dreams turn to smoke at the end of a glass pipe
Cop′s in the neighborhood with their flashlight
Mamma keep prayin' that she gets her path right

I′ve been rolling down these dirty back old roads
For so long, so long, so long, so long, so long
I left the house when I was young
And told my mamma "I'm grown, I′m grown, I'm grown"
I'm gone, I′m gone

I′ve been rolling down these dirty back old roads
For so long, so long, so long, so long, so long
I left the house when I was young
And told my mamma "I'm grown, I′m grown, I'm grown"
I′m gone, I'm gone
