Yelawolf - The Last Song lyrics

rate me

(Verse 1)

Everybody's asking me lately where I'm from

They wanna know what I've been through and what dirt I've done

But man if I told you what I've seen and been through then you probably run off

That your scared of the truth so its dead and secret line and chalk

See I've been lost ever since I could walk

Looking for my daddy and anyone of mamma's boyfriends who would talk

Or listen to me when I spoke instead of looking at me like a joke

Leaving me behind leaving me to cry when you treated my momma like a ho

But I learned quick that my daddy wasn't ever gonna come around

And I didn't give a shit cause me and my momma we held it down

No new kicks first day of school I'm goodwill bound

But when you come from the trench that's how you learn to walk around

So I don't give a fuck if you ever lay eyes on top of my new shoes homey

I just wanted you to know I didn't need a dollar from you I got 'em myself

So if you find yourself in the middle of the floor with the bottle drinking yourself lonely

Then you can keep company with the picture of me in the magazine on the shelf turn the page

(Hook)

Daddy can you see me? I'm putting on a show

In the magazines hear me on the radio

So what do you think huh?

(I hope that your proud now

To watch it all go down)

I'm sorry daddy you didn't get to watch me grow

Now I'm always on the road no time to say hello

Bye (and I hope that your proud now

To watch it all go down)

(Verse 2)

Yeah mamma you look great...perfect

Be safe on your first date...for certain

If he brings you home too late... I'll hurt him

Don't worry bout me I'm safe I'll close the curtains

And I feel like I'm raising you but what do I know baby blue

All I know is that I was made in you so I put all my faith in you

Yeah I was only ten but I felt like a man and I had to let you go

All I wanted was for us to be rich tear drops in my cereal bowl

So I turned into an asshole young and dumb smoking weed

Vandalizing,robbing houses, stealing cars, that was me

But everything I did I had to see

Feel the pain, had to grieve

To become who I am and I'm proud of the man I came to be

What I've learned cannot be taught

What I've earned cannot be bought

Justified deserve it all

So don't be concerned it's not your fault

I never counted sheep I count my blessings

So if you see him now momma don't give him the cold shoulder just give him my message just tell him

Hook
