gas out the window

Roy Woods

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh (Southside Southside)
Ayy, been here so long
Oh, oh-oh, oh
Ayy, yeah, yeah

I m in the Southside for days, I ain t tryna show face
I m known around my block, everybody my name
I see them tryna hang round, after I got the fame
Old friends turns fake, girlfriend turn ex
I been goin through a lot, tell me how it s gonna change?
My momma left Driftwood so I was raised in the B s
My dad used to sell rock
momma found out I used to sell weed
Football star on the front page
momma walks out, walks with a cane
Fibromyalgia, a nigga got pain, yeah
My niggas really be trappin in rain, yeah
Could ve had a daughter if I told her, Keep it
I am not a monster but I wanna be that

I m blowin gas out the window
Look at this life that I ve been through
If it s on sight then it s one call
Only one life, we re all one of one

Yeah
I buss the Rollie down on my own
I worked to make a life for my own
I ma make sure that I fight for my own
So they don t gotta live a life like my own
I used to sleep with a mattress on the floor
My mother gettin beat on the basement wall
I watched her cry for weeks, try to keep it strong
Tryna get her somewhere else to live so I missed her calls
I m tellin my aunts and friends
Rest in peace , no, I m not alone
And, no, I can t let you hang next to me
your mind is not involved
Used to pop Xans, molly and ecstasy but now I m off it all
I m gettin wiser, turnin twenty-three
just look at what I ve done

I m blowin gas out the window
Look at this life that I ve been through
If it s on sight then it s one call
Only one life, we re all one of one
I m blowin gas out the window
Look at this life that I ve been through
If it s on sight then it s one call
Only one life, we re all one of one

One of one
One of one
