Roy Woods – Gas Out The Window Lyrics

Gas Out The Window Lyrics by Roy Woods

[Intro]
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh (Southside Southside)
Ayy, been here so long
Oh, oh-oh, oh
Ayy, yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
I’m in the Southside for days, I ain’t tryna show face
I’m known around my block, everybody my name
I see them tryna hang ’round, after I got the fame
Old friends turns fake, girlfriend turn ex
I been goin’ through a lot, tell me how it’s gonna change?
My momma left Driftwood so I was raised in the B’s
My dad used to sell rock, momma found out I used to sell weed
Football star on the front page, momma walks out, walks with a cane
Fibromyalgia, a nigga got pain, yeah
My niggas really be trappin’ in rain, yeah
Could’ve had a daughter if I told her, “Keep it”
I am not a monster but I wanna be that

[Chorus]
I’m blowin’ gas out the window
Look at this life that I’ve been through
If it’s on sight then it’s one call
Only one life, we’re all one of one

[Verse 2]
Yeah
I buss the Rollie down on my own
I worked to make a life for my own
I’ma make sure that I fight for my own
So they don’t gotta live a life like my own
I used to sleep with a mattress on the floor
My mother gettin’ beat on the basement wall
I watched her cry for weeks, try to keep it strong
Tryna get her somewhere else to live so I missed her calls
I’m tellin’ my aunts and friends, “Rest in peace”, no, I’m not alone
And, no, I can’t let you hang next to me, your mind is not involved
Used to pop Xans, molly and ecstasy but now I’m off it all
I’m gettin’ wiser, turnin’ twenty-three, just look at what I’ve done

[Chorus]
I’m blowin’ gas out the window
Look at this life that I’ve been through
If it’s on sight then it’s one call
Only one life, we’re all one of one
I’m blowin’ gas out the window
Look at this life that I’ve been through
If it’s on sight then it’s one call
Only one life, we’re all one of one

[Outro]
One of one
One of one
