Down A Road Lyrics - Singles - Hard Target

another cigarette burning in my ashtray 

same bill collector still calling me from last week 

they riding on my back and now I'm feeling like a taxi 

feeling how I'm feeling if you feel like you gon' ask me 

preacher man on the t.v. trying to sell me some hope 

I need it I know, but in a healthier dose 

addicted to the spittin' and I should have left it alone 

struggle to break the surface but these methods are old 

I tried everything, but that medicine was a must 

they had everything, but they never did what they love 

the evidence was enough, your second win was abrupt 

they thought they wanted it all, but it isn't enough 

cause in the long run, 

your life only plays out until the song's done 

my Daddy tell me "hold it down while I'm gone son" 

but what he gone done 

so many choices, it's not my fault you pick the wrong ones 

I keep thinking it's me, you keep thinking I'm right 

and he eventually sees he's doing things out of spite, 

and none of this is worth it no more 

it was perfect before, but now you only hurting and sore 

the same tune in your head like you heard it before 

you know the song, featuring your turn at the door 

it's like feeling you want gone but certainly won't 

cause the same feelings is there when them curtains are close 

like here we go, down a road we aint been before 

the same shit, another bill knocking on my door 

Mr. Postman please don't come no more 

you can't get what I ain't got, you can't get no more 

like here we go, down a road 

here we go, down a road 

like here we go, down a road 

here we go, down a road 

they say it's all fun and games 

rapping for a living, am I living for the fame? 

running from reality, it's numbing up the pain 

do another show, is there something that i gain? 

when I struggle for some change, am I humble am I vain 

quote me if I'm wrong, if they're nothin in the same 

cover up the shame, cause you buckled under flames 

can't stand the heat then get the fuck up out the game 

there's enough of you today, to make me quit and walk away 

Grandpa, if you could see me now 

looking down with a smile, you would be so proud 

thinking wow, I made it, do I need know how 

living, without a limit, teaching me no bounds 

but I arose to the occasion, alone, and I made it 

took the cards I was delt, just rode, and I played it 

haters, they don't want to see me make it, take it 

swallow your pride and just face it 

like here we go, down a road we aint been before 

the same shit, another bill knocking on my door 

Mr. Postman please don't come no more 

you can't get what I ain't got, you can't get no more 

like here we go, down a road 

here we go, down a road 

like here we go, down a road 

here we go, down a road 

every now-and-then I get a little bit lonely, 

a little bit lonely, I know so do you. 

like, every now-and-then I get a little bit lonely, 

every now-and-then I get a little bit lonely, 

I know so do you 

every now-and-then I get a little bit lonely, 

every now-and-then I get a little bit gone, 

and lost, in you 

like, every now-and-then you get lonely, 

every now-and-then we get lonely, 

but every now-and-then I come back to you 

like here we go, down a road we aint been before 

the same shit, another bill knocking on my door 

Mr. Postman please don't come no more 

you can't get what I ain't got, you can't get no more
