Highway - Mission, Sean Dodson

Yeah, yeah

Whoa

Whoa, whoa, whoa

Yeah, yeah

Oh

Oh

Boiler, boiler

I don’t want you on the corner

It’s goin' up

Y’all don’t know what it’s like, the gangland

Threw it up

I don’t want you with them

Don’t trust

Yeah

Ray tried to tell me

But it really ain’t no home for the Southside

Really hope that you can hold yo' own

When you outside

Homie sneak the block

The only time that they inside

Brokenhearted

You just gotta keep that on the inside

Yeah, plottin'

They was plottin' on me

Yeah

Trust me, you can’t stop it, homie (don't shoot)

Look

Life was gettin' rocky, stony (don't shoot)

Caught me by myself

Then they got me, homie (don't shoot, don’t shoot, don’t shoot)

Yeah

Behind the coat (don't shoot)

We been learnin' all these ways

And now they fold (don't shoot)

Cousin had me jackin' honey buns

Out the stove (don't shoot)

Threw me the pistol

Told me, «Hide it in the coat» (don't shoot, don’t shoot, don’t shoot)

Yeah, don’t cross the highway

Don’t cross the highway

Don’t throw your life away (don't throw your life away)

Don’t cross the highway (don't shoot, don’t shoot, don’t shoot)

Don’t cross the highway (don't you cross it)

Don’t cross the highway (don't you cross it)

Don’t throw your life away (don't you do it)

Don’t cross the highway (don't you cross the highway)

The grass seem greener

On the other side

The grass only greener

When you fertilize

You gotta rearrange

Gotta realign

Wasn’t till I got over

That I realized

Don’t judge me

On my younger days

Lookin' forward

To some better days

Remember when we had to stay with Granny

She ain’t had the space

Don’t know how she did it

But somehow we all got a place

Although the house was crowded

She could never turn her kids away

Yeah

She just wanted to keep us safe (don't shoot)

She didn’t want us bein' influenced

By them dudes around the way (don't shoot)

I ain’t understand

I thought she tried to take our fun away (don't shoot)

We was trapped up in that house

And we was lookin' for a skate (d-d-d-d-don't shoot)

Uh, yeah

She tried to save me from myself (don't shoot)

'Cause she seen my toned had changed

When my daddy up and left (don't shoot)

I ain’t take her word for it

Had to learn it for myself

I wish she could see me now

Tryna follow in her steps, aye, Mission

Don’t cross the highway (don't you cross the highway)

Don’t cross the highway

Don’t throw your life away (don't throw you life away)

Don’t cross the highway, yeah (don't shoot, don’t shoot, don’t shoot)

Don’t cross the highway, yeah (don't you cross it)

Don’t cross the highway, yeah (don't you cross the highway, yeah)

Don’t throw your life away, yeah (don't you do it)

Don’t cross the highway (don't you cross the highway)

Highway

Oh

Don’t you cross the highway

Aye, yeah, (don't you, don’t you cross the highway)

Whoa, whoa

Yeah (don't you cross the highway)

Don’t you cross the highway (don't cross the highway)

Yeah (don't you, don’t you cross the highway)

In times it ain’t look like we would make it

Our doubts was crushed with faith

As we pulled up into the driveway

Thank You, Lord, we made it safe
