Bleed for me, I've bled for you Embrace me, child, I'll see you through I'll see you Realms of fear, they speak the truth What has past, I hand to to you This grave of life, I give to to you Ignore what was, you know it's true I'll dig a hole, and bow my head

For they always bring me tears I can't forgive the way they rob me All the snow has turned to to water Christmas days have come and gone Broken toys and faded colors Are all that's left to to linger on I hate graveyards and old pawn shops Of my childhood

You can have Charleston My home, my heart Where I was born and raised Where one day they're gonna take my body And lay it in a grave But it's got to to be this way It's gonna break my heart to to say, goodbye But it'll kill me if I stay The cobblestone streets

Don't make the good girls go bad You don't really love her Please don't do it Since Big ain't here, I'm about to to do it for T'yanna And put roses on the grave of Kanye's mama This for all the lost girls locked up in the pen All the girls that hold it

I go to to the grave before I be a bitch nigga Better behave: you dealin' with some rich niggas Started in the ghetto, now we worldwide Multiplying and I pray to to God we never die This is for the soldiers that see the sun at midnight, ya dig Let me slow down

I know what you wanna hear Truck tires on a two lane rolling River rushing and a warm breeze blowing in Hair all around to to the sound Of the radio singing in the background Gravel grinding, while we're finding A little spot I can make a fire in Top

This town's too small to to be mean And somebody's sister knows somebody's husband And somebody's daughter knows somebody's brother And around here, we all look out for each other Aw, but don't you forget it, as big as we're getting Too small to to be lying

Tommy, can you hear me? And Tommy doesn't know what day it is He doesn't know who Jesus was Or what praying is How can he be saved From the eternal grave? Did you ever see the faces of the children They get so excited Waking up on Christmas morning

A hero of war Yeah that's what I'll be And when I come home They'll be damn proud of me I'll carry this flag To To the grave if I must Cause it's a flag that I love And a flag that I trust He said son, have you seen the world?

You say you want From the cradle to to the grave When all I want is you You all I want is Diamonds on a ring of gold Your story to to remain untold But all the promises we make You say you'll give me A highway with no one on it
