10 STATES AWAY

They always caught me rapping on a slow-ass beat
Jamming in my car in the morning
Every since I was a young nigga
Every since I was a old nigga
With my three kids at the show, nigga
When we die, where do rappers go, nigga?
Found there was no control in the bottom of the bag
In the shower, pouring liquor in the air
I was fucked up, baby
Is the love the same?
Made a vow, then we prayed, then we pawned my chains
We made it through the summer
I dropped an album, then we broke up
No hate for those unable to be faithful
I guess that's how they made us
Kids make kids, and time do make strangers
Ah, but don't shame us for that
That's just your father on paper
Ten states away, like call for what?
Got them scars from us
Prideful, I'll trade you an eyeful
Cried like we might never meet again
The heart craves for what we had when we part ways
I'm still reaching for your hand on my dark days
I text a letter and deleted it for our sake
It's been forever and forever and forever and forever
(Yeah)

I'm in a daze planning my escape route
I'm fucked up in the middle of the day, huh
Where do you go? It ain't nowhere to lay down
My new friends got a pile of the straight raw
I got some hoes in the 'tel living face-down
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah, I'm at one with the bass now
I'm in a daze planning my escape route
I'm fucked up in the middle of the day, huh
Where do you go? It ain't nowhere to lay down
My new friends got a pile of the straight raw
I got some hoes in the 'tel living face-down
Oh, yeah, I'm at one with the bass
It's been forever and forever and forever and forever, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's been forever and forever and forever and forever, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's been forever and forever and forever and forever, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
