Track 12: Dead and Gone
We serve a God that is holy,
they shall over come by the word of their testimony
now alive but once dead,
this is the story of Raul Almaraz
Oh, I've been traveling on this road too long,
Just trying to find my way back home
The old me dead and gone, dead and gone
Thought this was love, where did we go wrong
I guess it was lust and a good love song
the weeks turned to years, it's been so long
my hatred to tears I keep wishing he was dead and gone
I'm not dead yet but baby I am so gone
but who cares about my mind when my money long
I got what you need and I got it for days
but forget the cash I just want power and praise
But how can you love me, then leave with her
my eyes to the ground you might call me a flirt
more sleepless nights filled with hurt
found more lipstick on the collar of his shirt
Well I'm too much too please and no you can't complete
I'm super man to these girls the hero of the streets
I keep the ladies so high, you can call it a shame
when it comes to pimping I'm the Jordan of the game
Oh, I've been traveling on this road too long,
Just trying to find my way back home
The old me dead and gone, dead and gone
Now I have a baby in my arms,
You won't look at him cause you caused him harm,
Your eyes blood shoot and your face turned warm,
You should have listened to the voice that warned,
You talking crazy now always getting out of line
but you and that kid are a waste of my time,
The homies in the crew are like my real next to kin,
We go good together like juice mixed with gin,
Now there's no emotion behind what I'm feeling,
He wont stop fighting, he wont stop steeling,
he wont stop cheating, Cant take another beating
Girl shut up, she's lying, check it,
Cause its your fault anyway, your not leaving any day,
So stop all the yapping and just listen to what I say,
If you wont stop nagging your useless like my liver
and they might find your body in the San Diego, river
Oh, I've been traveling on this road too long,
Just trying to find my way back home
The old me dead and gone, dead and gone
Now shes gone,
I don't know her God or her religion but I know that I'm a wicked villain,
I need some healing pastor preaching and I can hear him
he said if you raise your hand Jesus can change ya, I'm a raise it to the ceiling
Oh, I've been traveling on this road too long,
Just trying to find my way back home
The old me dead and gone, dead and gone
Used to call me Froggy, now they call me faithful,
Old me is gone cause my God is able,
Living ain't likely for a man like me,
they said my son should be dead he just turned 19,
Give God the glory i'm just glad to be apart of this,
He's made me a leader and a father to the fatherless,
Magnificent and marvelous my God is a deliverer
my head is swollen cause I'm holding thoughts about Livia
they shall over come by the word of their testimony
now alive but once dead,
