lyrics

(Verse 1)
I was minding my own business all the way down in Memphis
when this self-righteous kid thought he’d give me some lessons
on how to be a real man like his homies Smith & Wesson
the way the ignorance was raining you’d think it was Texas

It’s time I take a step back get my head on straight
cause I’m losin my perspective– you’re fallin out of my grace
and I ain’t tryin to go to war in order to prove who’s king
and I sure as hell ain’t willing to die

(Chorus)
Just walk on by
I don't want none of that no good vibe in my life
Just walk on by
I'ma take the high road, leave your trouble behind
Just walk on by

(Verse 2)
Ever since I met you I’ve been buttin my head
wake up in the mornin on the side of the bed
you fill my tank up with diesel when you know I take unleaded
now this old boy’s about to break on down

I said my love don’t sing and my sun don’t shine
when you’re drownin out my heart and you’re coverin up my eyes
do as your momma told ya– gotta learn to play nice
or keep your motha_______ hands to yourself
