Resto It's 2002 everything was totally new We were globally huge Watching sales go through the roof We wrote and we viewed it Runyon Avenue soldiers included A multitude of homies who would bounce for no good excuse We were so bulletproof wrote souped and soaked in our youth Thought we was running **** till we lost the sole of our shoe The death of Doody broke us in two We were thrown for a loop ain't none of us know what to do And at the time I was going through my own struggles too So I wasn't in no condition to be coaching us through Everyone tried to go solo really nobody blew I was hoping they do so I ain't have to shoulder the group The plan was put everyone in position so that they knew How to stand on they own and I don't want to open up wounds I just noticed the oomf was gone when we go in the booth Cause the truth is the moment that proof died so did the group If I could leave this world behind I could open up my eyes and walk in a straight line Turn to the river with you Help me leave this all behind I'ma wash away my sins I'ma rinse away this dirt I forgot to make amends To all the friends I may have hurt I better stop and say my grace From that I pray that I don't fall 'Cause on the way back down I may May end up running back into them all I never meant to use you all as my stepping stones It was never the same and it's bothered me since And the farther we drift apart the more awkward it gets The more time goes by the more life happens And we gotta be men we got responsibilities Plus we don't say how we feel and I feel like this is what got us in The debacle we're in d**n with you guys thick and thin But it's almost as if sometimes we're not even friends Which reminded me this Rockstar was the **** Y'all could've got you a hit without you on it If you've put D12 on it wish I could've did More than try talking you into coming up off of it I know it wasn't my fault but part of it probably is I think of all of the trips to BET and the rappers I wish that we would've politicked with Maybe y'all coulda clicked and got you some features But that's water under the bridge But I'm washing my sins in it till my concious is clear If I could leave this world behind I could open up my eyes and walk in a straight line Turn to the river with you Help me leave this all behind I'ma wash away my sins I'ma rinse away this dirt I forgot to make amends To all the friends I may have hurt I better stop and say my grace From that I pray that I don't fall 'Cause on the way back down I may May end up running back into them all I never meant to use you all as my stepping stones Bacardi in hand Never thought the party would end One minute you're bodyin' **** but then your audience splits You can already sense the climate is startin' to shift To these kids you no longer exist Went from rainin' cats and dogs in this ***** To tiny drops full of drips And by the time your reign is over you'll hardly be missed You start thinkin' of all the artists you gift All the carnage you left Is this the kinda karma you get For turning your ******' back on Bizzy Kuniva and Swift A Freudian slip Subconsciously I honestly wished I ain't feel so much guilt and y'all didn't harbor resentment But it's hard to pretend that y'all ain't got none of this Wish I had words But I guess they're just ownin' for this Still my point is I just can't say how sorry I am This is not how I planned for our story to end I love all of you men But I just can't be the guy Everybody depends on for entire careers 'Cause that's not even fair I will always be here But that spark isn't there And I don't know how to recapture that time and that air I've tried hearkening back to But I'm fighting for air I'm barely charting myself Feels like I'm under the sink But it was not my intent To treat y'all like a stepping stone Though I ain't left no one behind But we been down every road Done all we possibly can I know we kept up our hopes But the longer we spend livin' this lie that we live The less is left for closure so let's let this go It's not goodbye to our friendship but D12 is over I'ma wash away my sins I'ma rinse away this dirt I forgot to make amends To all the friends I may have hurt I better stop and say my grace From that I pray that I don't fall 'Cause on the way back down I may May end up running back into them all I never meant to use you all as my stepping stones I never meant to make you feel like my stepping stones I never meant to use you all for my stepping stones
[00:00.000] 作词 : M Mathers/L. Resto/M. Resto [00:01.000] 作曲 : M Mathers/L. Resto/M. Resto [00:10.03]It's 2002 everything was totally new [00:12.59]We were globally huge [00:13.59]Watching sales go through the roof [00:15.32]We wrote and we viewed it [00:16.61]Runyon Avenue soldiers included [00:17.82]A multitude of homies who would bounce for no good excuse [00:20.70]We were so bulletproof wrote souped and soaked in our youth [00:23.48]Thought we was running **** till we lost the sole of our shoe [00:26.70]The death of Doody broke us in two [00:28.70]We were thrown for a loop ain't none of us know what to do [00:31.33]And at the time I was going through my own struggles too [00:33.97]So I wasn't in no condition to be coaching us through [00:36.82]Everyone tried to go solo really nobody blew [00:39.38]I was hoping they do so I ain't have to shoulder the group [00:41.87]The plan was put everyone in position so that they knew [00:44.67]How to stand on they own and I don't want to open up wounds [00:47.38]I just noticed the oomf was gone when we go in the booth [00:49.99]Cause the truth is the moment that proof died so did the group [00:52.29]If I could leave this world behind [00:57.40]I could open up my eyes and walk in a straight line [01:03.36]Turn to the river with you [01:08.11]Help me leave this all behind [01:12.84]I'ma wash away my sins [01:15.36]I'ma rinse away this dirt [01:18.16]I forgot to make amends [01:20.77]To all the friends I may have hurt [01:23.24]I better stop and say my grace [01:25.93]From that I pray that I don't fall [01:28.61]'Cause on the way back down I may [01:31.42]May end up running back into them all [01:33.85]I never meant to use you all as my stepping stones [01:40.62]It was never the same and it's bothered me since [01:43.51]And the farther we drift apart the more awkward it gets [01:46.10]The more time goes by the more life happens [01:48.65]And we gotta be men we got responsibilities [01:51.54]Plus we don't say how we feel and I feel like this is what got us in [01:54.41]The debacle we're in d**n with you guys thick and thin [01:56.67]But it's almost as if sometimes we're not even friends [01:59.44]Which reminded me this Rockstar was the **** [02:02.06]Y'all could've got you a hit without you on it [02:04.74]If you've put D12 on it wish I could've did [02:07.32]More than try talking you into coming up off of it [02:09.48]I know it wasn't my fault but part of it probably is [02:12.27]I think of all of the trips to BET and the rappers [02:14.87]I wish that we would've politicked with [02:16.92]Maybe y'all coulda clicked and got you some features [02:19.47]But that's water under the bridge [02:20.89]But I'm washing my sins in it till my concious is clear [02:23.12]If I could leave this world behind [02:28.31]I could open up my eyes and walk in a straight line [02:34.17]Turn to the river with you [02:39.26]Help me leave this all behind [02:43.99]I'ma wash away my sins [02:46.21]I'ma rinse away this dirt [02:48.96]I forgot to make amends [02:51.50]To all the friends I may have hurt [02:54.23]I better stop and say my grace [02:56.81]From that I pray that I don't fall [02:59.55]'Cause on the way back down I may [03:02.22]May end up running back into them all [03:04.78]I never meant to use you all as my stepping stones [03:11.92]Bacardi in hand [03:12.71]Never thought the party would end [03:14.19]One minute you're bodyin' **** but then your audience splits [03:16.90]You can already sense the climate is startin' to shift [03:19.52]To these kids you no longer exist [03:21.11]Went from rainin' cats and dogs in this ***** [03:23.55]To tiny drops full of drips [03:24.93]And by the time your reign is over you'll hardly be missed [03:28.37]You start thinkin' of all the artists you gift [03:30.40]All the carnage you left [03:31.62]Is this the kinda karma you get [03:32.93]For turning your ******' back on Bizzy Kuniva and Swift [03:35.97]A Freudian slip [03:36.73]Subconsciously I honestly wished [03:38.32]I ain't feel so much guilt and y'all didn't harbor resentment [03:41.01]But it's hard to pretend that y'all ain't got none of this [03:43.65]Wish I had words [03:44.59]But I guess they're just ownin' for this [03:46.32]Still my point is I just can't say how sorry I am [03:48.66]This is not how I planned for our story to end [03:51.45]I love all of you men [03:52.82]But I just can't be the guy [03:54.18]Everybody depends on for entire careers [03:56.88]'Cause that's not even fair [03:58.27]I will always be here [03:59.52]But that spark isn't there [04:00.79]And I don't know how to recapture that time and that air [04:03.59]I've tried hearkening back to [04:04.83]But I'm fighting for air [04:06.23]I'm barely charting myself [04:07.50]Feels like I'm under the sink [04:08.89]But it was not my intent [04:10.26]To treat y'all like a stepping stone [04:12.04]Though I ain't left no one behind [04:13.77]But we been down every road [04:15.56]Done all we possibly can [04:16.70]I know we kept up our hopes [04:18.31]But the longer we spend livin' this lie that we live [04:20.70]The less is left for closure so let's let this go [04:23.75]It's not goodbye to our friendship but D12 is over [04:27.87]I'ma wash away my sins [04:30.75]I'ma rinse away this dirt [04:33.20]I forgot to make amends [04:35.93]To all the friends I may have hurt [04:38.42]I better stop and say my grace [04:41.12]From that I pray that I don't fall [04:43.79]'Cause on the way back down I may [04:46.39]May end up running back into them all [04:49.04]I never meant to use you all as my stepping stones [04:54.46]I never meant to make you feel like my stepping stones [04:59.73]I never meant to use you all for my stepping stones
