Feels like we been stranded on a crowded highway
And I'm waiting on God like a hitchhiker going my (Are you going my way)
Feels like hard rain, So much pain
The weight of the world and I still got a maintain
Can't never resent you can't never forget you
I got a let you know that I miss you
I used to be the bad child, black beautiful smile
But momma didn't know I used to run buck-wild
And make mischief, ultimate rebel, the kids in my hood had to get on my level
Never less, you never despised me in fact, when I used to get sick used to lay down beside me
And nurse be back to good health and told me I can be anything I wanted just believe in self
Kicked me out of the nest so I could learn to fly right and told me that I had to play my cards right
A nigga never knew what that meant until I had to pay the rent I guess you was heaven sent
Now you dead and gone I want my momma back so bad the pain start
To flow through this pen and pad and I can close my eyes still feeling your motherly touch
Baby girl and I miss you much
Feels like we been stranded on a crowded highway and I'm waiting on God
Like a hitchhiker going my (Are you going my way)
Feels like hard rain, So much pain
The weight of the world and I still got a maintain
Can't never resent you can't never forget
Pops was a giant when I was a little red man when he came home used to think of James Evans
He had a bass in his voice that would make everybody else tremble plain and simple
Used to wear them big trucker hats and blue khakis (when he used to get tipsy) used to say that he loved me
And all I wanted was the fishing trips I could've sworn he built a car with one pair of vice grips
I'm just playing though, came a long way from black men getting lynched to working in Chicago
I remember Big C telling me he didn't have much time and we should spend some time
Didn't have a lot of conversation but his conversation, enjoy life like a celebration
He died in his sleep so every night I go to sleep I see him, my right hand to God I want to be him
Feels like we been stranded on a crowded highway and I'm waiting on God like a hitchhiker going my
(Are you going my way)
Feels like hard rain, So much pain
The weight of the world and I still got a maintain
Can't never resent you can't never forget
And I can't forget, Tim Cox and Ruby Mae Young on July 17th still waiting on your son
Kijuan, Esha, Kier, and Big D lord knows it was a case of mistaken identity
Monica, I wish that your father was living, only time I got to see him on the day of Thanksgiving
My big cousin Mike, I know you're sitting in the studio in heaven with a U87 mic
J-Rock, Ratio, Verna, and Tricia can't say enough words to express how I miss you
Can't forget about Sammy and Ree, the whole family tree and Grandma Mrs. Willie B
Dun D I see the verses still tight, your big brother Trax still working til the late night
Jr. I ain't forgot about your pops with the old-school cars, the old-school rims and the rag-tops
Feels like we been stranded on a crowded highway
And I'm waiting on God like a hitchhiker going my (Are you going my way)
Feels like hard rain, So much pain
The weight of the world and I still got a maintain
Can't never resent you can't never forget
