[Verse 1: The Game]
~#**************#~
My lawyers 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 theirs 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 Noahs 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 Im in line next
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Ed Sheeran]
~#**************#~
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, mama, don’t cry
~#**************#~
I was on the roadside
~#**************#~
I was on the roadside
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: The Game]
~#**************#~
How come you can’t 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 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 shouldnt put our thoughts on the front of hats
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Ed Sheeran]
~#**************#~
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, mama, dont cry
~#**************#~
I was on the roadside
~#**************#~
I was on the roadside
~#**************#~
[Bridge: Ed Sheeran]
~#**************#~
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 Ima be alright now
~#**************#~
Ill be home in a few weeks
~#**************#~
Soon, til then Ill sing this song to you
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Ed Sheeran]
~#**************#~
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, mama, 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, mama, dont cry
~#**************#~
I was on the roadside
~#**************#~
I was on the roadside
