Lyrics

Old friend, where have you been? It's been awhile We got memories From when you was just a little child It's good to see you again Make yourself at home Your make up looks very nice We got a lot to catch up on Wow, you came with flowers It's not your fault You got older, you moved on And with time we grew apart Since you was a little kid You've been steppin' on me a lot It's funny how the tables turn Cause in the end I'm all you got I'm used to it though I know about gold diggers They get what they want from you and dip Go figures Remember when we was playin' that time And I messed up your clothes Your foster mom took out her belt And said we couldn't play no more But she ain't know how close we was Just two friends When you was 14, I almost convinced You to move in to my place When your mother's husband touched you in the wrong place But you knew that she would miss you So you stayed (Chorus) Nah nah nah nah I knew that you'd return to me I knew that you'd return to me I knew that you'd return to me one day(x2) As far as the distance, you made me Think that I had caused it Only time I heard from you in school Was for that science project I see that you don't talk much nowadays Wow, you've changed You grew up and found your lane Far as I go, I'm bout the same I caught you every time you fell And if it hurt, I took the blame Now I'm not mad that you became detached from me Just sad to me that tragedy is what made You come back to me It's clear you have no future So I'll remind you of your past Since you ran out of time for me I'll slip through your hour glass But you was right, I'm no good Something I'm not proud of One day I get you in a hole that You couldn't get out of I wasn't a dope boy, but I was good For growin trees, Hurt me when you walked Away, loved it when you noticed me I could've helped you find your roots But you ain't wanna learn from me Through all this time I knew that one day You'd return to me (Chorus) Nah nah nah nah I knew that you'd return to me I knew that you'd return to me I knew that you'd return to me one day(x2) When you left me that was cold Now that your here with me your colder You won't talk, you won't speak You only gettin lower It's funny, as an author, you usually had a lot to say And always liked to think outside the box But not today You made me wait so long for you I think it's sinking in Now that your here with me I"ll never let you leave again Don't worry I'll open up I'll let you inside of me And every dream you never lived I'll make sure it dies with me I can hear your family crying Soon enough the noises end Hope you kiss your kids goodbye They'll never hear your voice again You should've laughed, you should've cried You should've loved, you should've danced You should've smiled at every living creature While you had the chance I'm everything you tried to escape from But you can't escape from the very thing That you were made from It's only right that you return to the place that You was found Who am I? I am the dirt And you are six feet underground (Chorus) Nah nah nah nah I knew that you'd return to me I knew that you'd return to me I knew that you'd return to me one day(x2) (Post-chorus) I am the dirt I am the dirt I am the dirt Knew that you'd return to me one day (Outro) All we know for sure is that we have this time We have these moments So, what are we going to do about it? Ready or not, some day we will all face the moment of out death Will we be ready? Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return
