Way platinum there was a place we used to go and ride for at a time on a country road is troubling, you can let it go I get out of the car and walk through it, the river and talk to it Simply saying, "Mr. water, what is it you running from?" Asked the bird in the tree, "What is it that you for?" Now (Why the Caged Bird Sings) is wishing to be free myself of life and it's hold on me Touring, the children, women, sexual Religion so much to me, the church don't see enough of me This way, that way, corners trying to get away Sometimes you have to see a to appreciate a pretty day BACK in the car now, headed for the store God, what a vivid scene, what I just seen Rolled up another one, in a daze though up at the Mini-Mart, my mind on the country roads
I want to go On the country and get blowed On the country again roll Been on the country again
Yo, we off in these backwoods Caddy-hogging, Nappy dog, no joke We glad they robbing, rap imposter's, for they no hope cutthroat, we hungry starving, charging for the front do' You want We smoke and sparking, jokers like the blunt go Been shoving folk for plenty miles, yes I'm the type to grin and it The second chance and out the box, I'm back with 'dro and spirits Look at me now, I found a spot, I'm down here by that river Grab a rose and took me to a place, au revoir, I'm rolling
Man these country making me zone out Riding through all the that poppa would scold 'bout But soon as my hustle got good I out Quick to jump I-24, back with plenty mo' By '97 I was smoking o The chains and the Willie was the dress code We lost our littlest cousin Gwin, a row Renfrow rest in peace your kinfolks, I miss y'all
(Dude what the are we doing?) Back deep on these country roads blowing, getting in touch with my No just striped lines and curve-filled signs When all the events the day, good or bad, somehow rewind While I recline, in my seats Hit the trees and repeat And let the melody of these roads keep my soul upbeat No proposed, just riding these country roads... Listen, this that's willing to catch a court case Split your wig apart quicker than the rate Niggaz out, go wild in the corpse cage Blow out in the news and I don't mean the page Get drowned in North Lake, could get in horse cave Fool, get down, the crazy! Lil' Stille's ambition, itching to fill my position Replace me, but by the grace still existing be in depression La trill is missing, cousins in prison Heard Little Ricky was snitching, now a born-again Christian Always had my suspicions, our teens bad addictions Family members gone on a mission, we miss 'em See you can travel straight through two coasts State to state, this beautiful globe In of a plate full of food for the soul I could taste it when the hit my nose On a place country roads
