It's 2002 everything was totally new |
| [00:12.59] |
We were globally huge |
| [00:13.59] |
Watching sales go through the roof |
| [00:15.32] |
We wrote and we viewed it |
| [00:16.61] |
Runyon Avenue soldiers included |
| [00:17.82] |
A multitude of homies who would bounce for no good excuse |
| [00:20.70] |
We were so bulletproof wrote souped and soaked in our youth |
| [00:23.48] |
Thought we was running **** till we lost the sole of our shoe |
| [00:26.70] |
The death of Doody broke us in two |
| [00:28.70] |
We were thrown for a loop ain't none of us know what to do |
| [00:31.33] |
And at the time I was going through my own struggles too |
| [00:33.97] |
So I wasn't in no condition to be coaching us through |
| [00:36.82] |
Everyone tried to go solo really nobody blew |
| [00:39.38] |
I was hoping they do so I ain't have to shoulder the group |
| [00:41.87] |
The plan was put everyone in position so that they knew |
| [00:44.67] |
How to stand on they own and I don't want to open up wounds |
| [00:47.38] |
I just noticed the oomf was gone when we go in the booth |
| [00:49.99] |
Cause the truth is the moment that proof died so did the group |
| [00:52.29] |
If I could leave this world behind |
| [00:57.40] |
I could open up my eyes and walk in a straight line |
| [01:03.36] |
Turn to the river with you |
| [01:08.11] |
Help me leave this all behind |
| [01:12.84] |
I'ma wash away my sins |
| [01:15.36] |
I'ma rinse away this dirt |
| [01:18.16] |
I forgot to make amends |
| [01:20.77] |
To all the friends I may have hurt |
| [01:23.24] |
I better stop and say my grace |
| [01:25.93] |
From that I pray that I don't fall |
| [01:28.61] |
'Cause on the way back down I may |
| [01:31.42] |
May end up running back into them all |
| [01:33.85] |
I never meant to use you all as my stepping stones |
| [01:40.62] |
It was never the same and it's bothered me since |
| [01:43.51] |
And the farther we drift apart the more awkward it gets |
| [01:46.10] |
The more time goes by the more life happens |
| [01:48.65] |
And we gotta be men we got responsibilities |
| [01:51.54] |
Plus we don't say how we feel and I feel like this is what got us in |
| [01:54.41] |
The debacle we're in d**n with you guys thick and thin |
| [01:56.67] |
But it's almost as if sometimes we're not even friends |
| [01:59.44] |
Which reminded me this Rockstar was the **** |
| [02:02.06] |
Y'all could've got you a hit without you on it |
| [02:04.74] |
If you've put D12 on it wish I could've did |
| [02:07.32] |
More than try talking you into coming up off of it |
| [02:09.48] |
I know it wasn't my fault but part of it probably is |
| [02:12.27] |
I think of all of the trips to BET and the rappers |
| [02:14.87] |
I wish that we would've politicked with |
| [02:16.92] |
Maybe y'all coulda clicked and got you some features |
| [02:19.47] |
But that's water under the bridge |
| [02:20.89] |
But I'm washing my sins in it till my concious is clear |
| [02:23.12] |
If I could leave this world behind |
| [02:28.31] |
I could open up my eyes and walk in a straight line |
| [02:34.17] |
Turn to the river with you |
| [02:39.26] |
Help me leave this all behind |
| [02:43.99] |
I'ma wash away my sins |
| [02:46.21] |
I'ma rinse away this dirt |
| [02:48.96] |
I forgot to make amends |
| [02:51.50] |
To all the friends I may have hurt |
| [02:54.23] |
I better stop and say my grace |
| [02:56.81] |
From that I pray that I don't fall |
| [02:59.55] |
'Cause on the way back down I may |
| [03:02.22] |
May end up running back into them all |
| [03:04.78] |
I never meant to use you all as my stepping stones |
| [03:11.92] |
Bacardi in hand |
| [03:12.71] |
Never thought the party would end |
| [03:14.19] |
One minute you're bodyin' **** but then your audience splits |
| [03:16.90] |
You can already sense the climate is startin' to shift |
| [03:19.52] |
To these kids you no longer exist |
| [03:21.11] |
Went from rainin' cats and dogs in this ***** |
| [03:23.55] |
To tiny drops full of drips |
| [03:24.93] |
And by the time your reign is over you'll hardly be missed |
| [03:28.37] |
You start thinkin' of all the artists you gift |
| [03:30.40] |
All the carnage you left |
| [03:31.62] |
Is this the kinda karma you get |
| [03:32.93] |
For turning your ******' back on Bizzy Kuniva and Swift |
| [03:35.97] |
A Freudian slip |
| [03:36.73] |
Subconsciously I honestly wished |
| [03:38.32] |
I ain't feel so much guilt and y'all didn't harbor resentment |
| [03:41.01] |
But it's hard to pretend that y'all ain't got none of this |
| [03:43.65] |
Wish I had words |
| [03:44.59] |
But I guess they're just ownin' for this |
| [03:46.32] |
Still my point is I just can't say how sorry I am |
| [03:48.66] |
This is not how I planned for our story to end |
| [03:51.45] |
I love all of you men |
| [03:52.82] |
But I just can't be the guy |
| [03:54.18] |
Everybody depends on for entire careers |
| [03:56.88] |
'Cause that's not even fair |
| [03:58.27] |
I will always be here |
| [03:59.52] |
But that spark isn't there |
| [04:00.79] |
And I don't know how to recapture that time and that air |
| [04:03.59] |
I've tried hearkening back to |
| [04:04.83] |
But I'm fighting for air |
| [04:06.23] |
I'm barely charting myself |
| [04:07.50] |
Feels like I'm under the sink |
| [04:08.89] |
But it was not my intent |
| [04:10.26] |
To treat y'all like a stepping stone |
| [04:12.04] |
Though I ain't left no one behind |
| [04:13.77] |
But we been down every road |
| [04:15.56] |
Done all we possibly can |
| [04:16.70] |
I know we kept up our hopes |
| [04:18.31] |
But the longer we spend livin' this lie that we live |
| [04:20.70] |
The less is left for closure so let's let this go |
| [04:23.75] |
It's not goodbye to our friendship but D12 is over |
| [04:27.87] |
I'ma wash away my sins |
| [04:30.75] |
I'ma rinse away this dirt |
| [04:33.20] |
I forgot to make amends |
| [04:35.93] |
To all the friends I may have hurt |
| [04:38.42] |
I better stop and say my grace |
| [04:41.12] |
From that I pray that I don't fall |
| [04:43.79] |
'Cause on the way back down I may |
| [04:46.39] |
May end up running back into them all |
| [04:49.04] |
I never meant to use you all as my stepping stones |
| [04:54.46] |
I never meant to make you feel like my stepping stones |
| [04:59.73] |
I never meant to use you all for my stepping stones |
