There Back lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics There & Back lyrics I ve just returned from a long round trip Many tales I have to tell Now I don t get high so you think I m not hip But I ve seen the gates of Hell How can a youth rise above all the shit When surrounded by such lousy influence? He clutched the pipe, took his last hit And nobody s heard from him since In this world of confusion Drugs were my solution The pain was breaking my heart I shut out my reality Nearing my fatality found myself falling apart Miserable, horrible, life such an obstacle Making my own matters worse To end up dead in a dark alleyway Or to ride in the back of a hearse To die for a cause like pride or respect Or honor would make you quite worthy A pitiful waste to live in the sewer And die before you reach thirty Cop a bag as a crutch copping out, lose so much hangin out, dippin butts Lost my mind smoking dust There and back Back in the days I was living a lie Too cool to show my feelings too cool to cry Lost in a fog and unsure of my friends With a one way ticket headed straight for the end As the flames burnt the rope and my spirit cut loose I found my self wrapped in an emotional noose I said to myself continue no longer Today I face the world with a mind that is stronger Spent my time gettin nice I crapped out rolling dice Look at me and my scars Now I live pure and hard There and back song lyrics
