Ron Gilmore - 20/20 lyrics

[Chorus:] Grandmama tried to tell me how to live my life I wish I had've listened to her Granddaddy always told me how to live my life I wish I had've listened to him My mama tried to show me how to make things right I wish I had've done somethin when I coulda done somethin Now it's too late (late) I said, now it's too late... [BRIDGE:] "Man, where you headed?" (Where you headed) "I lost somethin in my past Now I got ta go back there an' get it" They like "Man, forget it, that's long gone... ...Long gone" [VERSE 1:] Might'a been the women But then again, it might'a been the life I was livin' Or the place I was living in, it might'a been a prison Or maybe not But it still remind me of a prison... I was conditioned to be selfish Actin' like I was born an a**hole, and couldn't help it Bullsh**, and they smelled it Mom's words didn't work, but my grandpa's belt did Hangin' downside-up at the dump Wit the fire leapin' up and my L.A. Gears meltin' Didn't learn me nuthin Still grew up dealin' that white like a milkman Instead of doing things right, I'd be out all night Cuz the party don't stop, *uhn* Not until you reach rock bottom Washing down pills with vodka Wind up either dead, or locked up At 7 years old, thought I knew it all At 11 years old, thought I knew it all .....16 years old, thought I knew it all Now I'm 29 years old, don't know it all And I don't know at all Could always know a little more about Love and hate/peace and war I ain't never been out of Canada before, except Trips to Maine, but that don't count much Sudbury, Ontario, at 12, once How much more can I limit myself, huh How much more can I limit myself, it's like... [BRIDGE] "Man, where you headed?" (Where you headed) "I lost somethin in my past Now I got ta go back there an' get it" They like "Man, forget it, that's long gone... ...Long gone" [Chorus:] Grandmama tried to tell me how to live my life I wish I had've listened to her Granddaddy always told me how to live my life I wish I had've listened to him My mama tried to show me how to make things right I wish I had've done somethin when I coulda done somethin Now it's too late (late) I said, now it's too late... (now it's too late) [VERSE 2:] I grew up in the world with two mothers Since then, it was only the two of us At one point, I hated who I was Asked Mom, "why couldn't you use rubbers?" Any fool with a dick can have babies But it takes a man to raise one Sowing seeds is only phase one You gotta stay the course, not stay away You say "abortion"/ I say "mistake" cuz I gave it all to mine I felt bad when I had Alyssa Cuz her dad was missin' Or mad faded all the time Spent more time hustlin' for d** Gettin drunk, creatin' more of them rhymes Than I did with my kid from birth to age 5 And then again from 7 to 9 That's why they like... [BRIDGE] "Man, where you headed?" (Where you headed) "I lost somethin in my past Now I got ta go back there an' get it" They like "Man, forget it, that's long gone... ...Long...long...long...
