No one give a sh** about the way I walk I don't mix my words it's just the way I talk I got a pistol in my pocket and one black eye I say forget these motherf**ers, let's go get high Ooh, maybe I should do right But I feel like doin' wrong When I'm gone I got a pretty little woman gonna make her my wife Gonna start myself a family, make a brand new life Ooh and maybe they'll realize that I'm able and I'm strong When I'm gone Maybe they'll forgive me Beg, boy, just come on home When I'm gone I got a baby on the way and I can't provide You can't live on love, you can't live on pride I come to realize, well it's harder than I thought When I'm gone I could feel it closing in on me I got to be all I can be In this life there ain't no guarantee You don't get no sh** for free Well you get it on your own and you bring it home When I'm gone So I'll go and join the army, gonna walk that line A desperate decision for a desperate time Ooh and maybe they'll realize that I was worth my salt When I'm gone Darling, I know you'll miss me We'll just have to stay strong When I'm gone When I'm gone When I'm gone When I'm gone
