BIG B - Before I Leave This Place (Feat. Everlast) lyrics

rate me

Before I leave this place, yall will remember this face

The good ,the bad ,the happy ,the sad

Yall will remember this face

Before I leave this place, yall will remember my face

The good ,the bad , the happy ,the sad

Yall will remember this face

Little Tommy enlisted in the army

Even though he never been away from his mommy

Said he wanted to see the world

Tell his family and friends good bye

Gave a big kiss to his girl

Now he's off to boot-camp

Never did much with his life but now here's his big chance

He sits and shines his shoes and creases his pants

He knows his weapon inside and out

His parents worry about the risk of war

But he acts like they don't know what there talkin' about

Sent out in combat on the front line ready die

With a tear in his eye he says god I didn't realize

It would end like this and this is what he said with

His last breath

Before I leave this place, yall will remember this face

The good ,the bad ,the happy ,the sad

Yall will remember this face

Before I leave this place, yall will remember my face

The good ,the bad , the happy ,the sad

Yall will remember this face

(little Tommy enlisted in the army)

Old man Jones lived down aways

He had a little house where him and his family use to stay

Nicest one on the block

If he seen you drive by

he wave you down and make you stop

Drank cheap boos smoked big cigars

And he loved to tell

He didn't have a hateful bone in his body

He didn't have problems with nobody

The kind of person that would give

you his shirt off his back

He didn't care if you were white or black

But on night he got car jacked

They took his money, they took his car

But when they took his life they went to far

He closed his eyes and he starts to pray

And this is the last thing his killers heard him say

Before I leave this place, yall will remember this face

The good ,the bad ,the happy ,the sad

Yall will remember this face

Before I leave this place, yall will remember my face

The good ,the bad , the happy ,the sad

Yall will remember this face

(before I leave this place)

Suzy was a girl I knew back in the day

Couldn't take the rules at home so at sixteen she ran away

fifty dollars in her pocket and nowhere to stay

Now she's out on the streets were the pimps feed

And the dealers fined the pray

So now here she believes that drugs are the only thing

That can set her free

Cant hind on the regular parents at home sick

and worried about there baby girl

But theres never gonna be a happy ending

She writes a letter and says this will be the last she's sending

Forgive me mother forgive me farther

But I just cant go on any longer

She signs it with a kiss and drops it in the mail

Four days later they fined her O.D'ed in a city motel

I can read you what the rest of the letter said

But I think you can already tell

(it read)

Before I leave this place, yall will remember this face

The good ,the bad ,the happy ,the sad

Yall will remember this face

Before I leave this place, yall will remember my face

The good ,the bad , the happy ,the sad

Yall will remember this face

Before I leave this place, yall will remember this face

The good ,the bad ,the happy ,the sad

Yall will remember this face…

….(little Tommy enlisted in the army)…

….(before I leave this place)…
