Heartbeat Go

When I was a child, I was raised a hillbuck wild, always separated from the crowd
When I was a kid, I was doin' juvenile biz, slingin' down bags of the miz
Now I'm all grown, walkin' through this life all alone, never knowin' where to call home
I'm alright when I'm stoned, yeah, I'm alright when I'm stoned

I'ma fight till I'm gone
Y'all know I be goin' through it, always livin' in the grasp of death
One thing about me true is I demand respect
Seein' me defeated's somethin' that I can't accept

Leavin' peaceful is somethin' that I plan to reject
Standin' they chest, yeah, anyone that gets in my way
Life's been hard for me, I don't think it's fixin' to change
Tryin' to find peace of mind, they be thinkin' I'm strange

Meditatin', gettin' blazed, tryin' to listen to rain
My vision's the same, we all wanna live and to grow
I won't never come up in this world sittin' at home
Young hustlers, seventeen, gettin' them gone

The streets razzy, no wonder y'all been gettin' me wrong
But, it's probably gonna be another late night
Vampire, I'm avoidin' daylight
I don't wanna stay, not another damn day

Man, there's somethin' about this place really make me hate life
What you know about peekin' in the window
Momma gettin' high, no food up in the house
Kids learnin' to survive, never had a father figure showin' me wrong from right

We was outside, raised the hell all through the night
One of my friends from back then, he either dead or gone to prison
Lone foe said it, where we was headed, but we ain't listen
Ever since I was a kid, I always made the wrong decisions

Had to, that's why I did it, I ain't lookin' for a pick
When I was a child, I was raised in Hillbuck Wild
Always separated from the crowd
When I was a kid, I was doin' juvenile biz

Slangin' down bags of the Miz
Now I'm all grown, walkin' through this life all alone
Never knowin' where to call home
I'm alright when I'm stoned

Yeah, I'm alright when I'm stoned
I'ma fight till I'm gone
Where did my heart beat go
Where did my heart beat go

I can feel my heart beat slow
I can feel my heart beat slow
Where did my heart beat go
Where did my heart beat go

I can feel my heart beat slow
I can feel my heart beat slow
I was doomed from the beginning
But wild child, yeah, single mother livin'

Daddy long gone, we ain't seen him in a minute
Made a couple dollars and my mind got spinnin'
I gotta say, man, superstar status with the plays, man
I was doin' numbers like Rain Man

Homies bangin' rocks like a caveman
Cities far and wide was a plug
But in my city, I'm a made man
Whole life had to face opposition

Hard times gave me ambition
Betrayal left me conditioned
Being broke gave me my mission
This cold world made my ammunition

And anybody can get it
I'm a vet in this s***
You can try me, I'm with it
I get respect in this s***

I was forced to grow up
Really, all it did was make me cold
Nah, I couldn't be a kid, cuz
When I was a child, I was raisin' hillbuck wild

Always separated from the crowd
When I was a kid, I was doin' juvenile biz
Slangin' down bags of the Miz
Now I'm all grown, walkin' through this life all alone

Never knowin' where to call home
I'm alright when I'm stoned
Yeah, I'm alright when I'm stoned
I'ma fight till I'm gone

Where did my heart beat go
Where did my heart beat go
I can feel my heart beat slow
I can feel my heart beat slow

Where did my heart beat go
Where did my heart beat go
I can feel my heart beat slow
I can feel my heart beat slow
