(Oh, just don't know)
Abm
(Well, I'm going down)
GbDb
Going down the hard road
AbmGbDb
(Just don't know) Don't know where I've been
[Verse 1]
AbmGb
Growing up, I needed a guide like a blind veteran's dog
Db
'Cause I was going nowhere like a child's letters to God
AbmGb
Though life's road was hard, I was never so lost
Db
That I looked for an answer in a medicine box
AbmGb
I never did pop pills or cop deals, just rocked hills
Db
Kids with skills, still got harassed by cops 'til
AbmGb
They'd have me in the back of a paddy, down to lock up
Db
Smack me, pat me down for a baggy, mums would rock up
AbmGb
And bail me out, a failure out once again
Db
Next weekend, bail me out, drunk again
AbmGb
And I never will forgive myself
Db
For putting you through all that hell
AbmGb
I went from high school dropout to factory labourer
DbAbm
Slave to the clock until four, went from sleeping on the floor
Gb
To being out on tour, now, no stopping me
N.C. Abm
I'll finish with a bang like Kurt Cobain's biography, uh
[Hook]
GbDb
Going down the hard road, down the hard road
AbmGbDb
(I just don't know) Don't know where I've been
Abm
I don't know where to go, it's like
GbDb
Going down the hard road, down the hard road
AbmGbDb
(I just don't know) Don't know where I've been
[Verse 2]
AbmGb
I spent my youth like life was cheap
Db
The only change that I wanted was enough to buy a drink
AbmGb
Was on a path to nowhere, the harder the road
Db
The more broken baggage we carry, the larger the load
AbmGb
This school dropout got knocked out, chased by the cops out
Db
Got clout, dumped by my girlfriend and locked out
AbmGb
Been broke and beaten, even choked at being
Db
A dope MC but never lost hope in dreaming
AbmGb
We used to thrash boosted cars 'til the engine'd fail
Db
If I never had bailed, maybe I'd be dead or in jail
AbmGb
And man, I got no one else to blame
Db
I thank my family and music for keeping me sane
AbmGb
But that's the breaks, right? Started working late nights
Db
Never seeing daylight, getting paid like a slave might
AbmGb
And I've done too many years to miss this for my missus
N.C. Abm
To have to tell my son he nearly never existed, uh
[Hook]
GbDb
Going down the hard road, down the hard road
AbmGbDb
(I just don't know) Don't know where I've been
Abm
I don't know where to go, it's like
GbDb
Going down the hard road, down the hard road
AbmGbDb
(I just don't know) Don't know where I've been
DJ Debris, come on and break it down like
[Interlude]
AbmDb
Abm N.C.
[Verse 3]
AbmGb
And I speak what I feel in the booth in the spirit of truth
Db
'Cause all these kids that I meet, man, they mirror my youth
AbmGb
And I could have gone the wrong way, the easy option
DbAbm
But I chose to go the long way, the streets is watching, so
GbDb
So keep a look out, look up, B-Ballers keep your hook up
Pull a page from my book out, and pull out
AbmGb
Your finger, put your foot out and keep a lookout
DbAbm
For what we put out, the brand new flavour for your cookout, uh
[Hook]
GbDb
Going down the hard road, down the hard road
AbmGbDb
(I just don't know) Don't know where I've been
Abm
I don't know where to go, it's like
GbDb
Going down the hard road, down the hard road
AbmGbDb
(I just don't know) Don't know where I've been
[Otro]
AbmGbDb
I'm walking round in circles
EbBbEbB
Can't even find a friend
Abm
Woah, my love
