[Verse 1]
I left out of Gurdon at the age of eighteen (Yeah)
Put my past in my glass, had a dollar and a dream (That's all)
Told my mama "I'ma be a big star some day" (I will)
Be patient 'cause you'll soon see me sittin' center-stage
But I didn't realize how much money it took
And the rap game was full of a bunch of liars and crooks (Yeah)
Puttin' trust in the man that you barely know (Uh-huh)
But you just another rapper, man they come and they go
So with the money runnin' low what the hell I'ma do?
Start resortin' to the things that the street showed you (Huh)
Bought a digital scale and a half a pound of bud
That's anything to get me unstuck out the mud
Started buildin' a buzz (Buzz) freestylin' in clubs
Doin' shows in the studio, thanks to the plug (Thanks)
Nothin' like comin' up but fallin' off is a bitch (Bitch)
I'm too big for this city, man I'm tryna get rich
[Chorus]
I put the pedal to the medal, hair in the wind
Told my past, "Kiss my ass you won't see me again"
Way I feel now, I don't really need friends
Put my past in my glass, you won't see me again
I'm gone, gone, gone
I'm gone, gone, gone
[Verse 2]
Uh, seein' no potential in my city or state
Started pourin' up whiskey and takin' it to the face (Uh-huh)
Became the life of the party, I was the star of the show
I was drinkin' and druggin', seein' how far I could go
Burnin' bridges to my memories, alcoholic tendencies
Wakin' up everyday to some new enemies
One night stands, makin' overnight friends
Gettin' high to get by, no time for no plans (Naw)
Never understood what it took to be good
My life was a bonfire, I was throwin' in wood
Pretendin' like I could, could only weather the storm (Storms)
All the relationships I had, been severed and torn (Torn)
I'ma ramblin' man, I'ma gypsy on the road (Road)
Losin' my soul to chase fortunes untold
Nothin' like comin' up (Nah it ain't)
But fallin' off is a bitch
I'm too big for this city, man I'm tryna get rich
(Uh-huh)
[Chorus]
I put the pedal to the medal, hair in the wind
Told my past, "Kiss my ass you won't see me again"
Way I feel now, I don't really need friends
Put my past in my glass, you won't see me again
I'm gone, gone, gone
I'm gone, gone, gone
(Yeah-eh)
I put the pedal to the medal, hair in the wind
Told my past, "Kiss my ass you won't see me again"
Way I feel now, I don't really need friends
Put my past in my glass, you won't see me again
I'm gone, gone, gone
I'm gone, gone, gone
(Yeah-eh, yeah-eh)
