All aboard Or, are all y'all bored? It's good to have y'all back now Ladies and gents Y'all already know what it is (God don't make no mistakes) (God don't make no mistakes) [Verse 1] Little do they know when I was brought up in this game 'Twan ain't always in a vibe for spitting, I made a change Like the diaper on the bottom of my baby daughter I wasn't ready to be no father, maybe, kinda, sorta 'Cause when I saw her, I swear it made a tear fall Not tears of sorrow but of joy, so listen here y'all I grabbed the mic and moved the crowd then disappeared, dog Back in '94, that was the motherf**ing year, homeboy Then that Southernplayalistic went platinum Stacks on deck, they ain't tell us to pay our taxes Walking around the table in the kitchen just for practice Reciting rhymes to sharpen mine, now let's deliver to the ma**es [Hook: Sleepy Brown] It's been a good long road Now its time for me to go I say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye Time to spread my wings So high up in the sky I can fly, I fly, I fly, so high [Verse 2] Welcome to my life, I think its time I take it back I got to give you all the facts so you can see what type of cat That you dealing with Now on ATLiens, we was k**ing it And then my auntie pa**ed, she was like my mother, I was feeling it The first person close to me to die, I needed healing But I see her as an angel when I look up at the ceiling Like my daddy and granddaddy on both shoulders steady chilling So you got to keep on living like each day is the beginning It's your birthday, even on your worst day Live it like the first day, I'm Antwan Andre Or General Patton if you know 'bout Purple Ribbon or Got Purp
I, I be on that kryptonite, that means I can't be hurt (Gotta leave this place it's been cool but I got to go...) [Hook: Sleepy Brown] It's been a good long road Now its time for me to go I say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye Time to spread my wings So high up in the sky I can fly, I fly, I fly, so high [Bridge] Even on the train Surely as truth remains I'll be back again (Know we been though a lot, and I ain't perfect But I swear to you I'm a changed man) Even on the train Surely as truth remains I'll be back again (From the caboose) [Verse 3] And now it's time to say goodbye, they should've turned me loose I was all about my team but now I call upon my crew I'm a family type of person but I'm deadly dolo too You can achieve anything that you put your heart into See the second hand will never stop and neither will the clock The n***a Big still hit the stage by hisself and still rock When your faith is in the right place, see, he ain't gon' let you flop You can say whatever you want (Bet you can't do it like me) Boy, stop!! [Bridge] Before you can say you can't hit goal Please, no excuse this time, don't be afraid to fly You never know what day the doors will close It's time to say goodbye time to pack up and ride Got to leave this place it's been cool but I gotta go (I can take it from here, ladies; y'all done a good deed tonight) [Hook: Sleepy Brown] It's been a good long road Now its time for me to go I say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye Time to spread my wings So high up in the sky I can fly, I fly, I fly, so high
