Going South (Remix)

# GOING SOUTH **[HOOK — IMMEDIATE / RAPPED]** Whole life's going south Girl gone, job gone, word got around Bank account damn near bottomed out If it's all going south— **I'm going south** Going south Going south Can't fix shit from this broke-ass town If my whole damn world's going south— **I'm going south** **[VERSE 1]** Rent due Friday Check came light She packed Wednesday Left that night Boss said, “Fix that attitude” I said, “Fix that fucking wage” Guess we both made choices— Mine got me fired that day Phone cut off Tank on E Bank charged thirty For being broke last week Ain't that some shit? Charge me money I ain't got For the money I ain't got Now I owe 'em what I ain't got— **Fuck it.** Threw two shirts in a Walmart bag Two hundred cash and everything I had Neighbor yelled, “Where you headed now?” **Same place everything else is—** **SOUTH** **[HOOK]** Whole life's going south Girl gone, job gone, word got around Bank account damn near bottomed out If it's all going south— **I'm going south** Going south Going south Can't fix shit from this broke-ass town If my whole damn world's going south— **I'm going south** **[VERSE 2 — FASTER POCKET]** Everybody got a plan for me Funny, nobody pays for me “Straighten up” “Grow up” “Get your shit together” Motherfucker— **I'm trying.** Every bridge behind me got smoke Every promise I made went broke Every “last time” had one more time Every good goodbye turned into— “Where you at tonight?” She said running don't fix a man I said staying sure ain't fixed who I am She said, “You'll come crawling back” Maybe. **But you won't see me leaving twice.** Foot down State line No sleep Straight drive Rearview full of people who swear They know exactly what ruined my life Maybe they're right. But tonight— **They can be right without me.** **[HOOK — HARDER]** Whole life's going south Girl gone, job gone, word got around Bank account damn near bottomed out If it's all going south— **I'm going south** Going south Going south Rearview full, but I'm looking out If my whole damn world's going south— **I'm going south** **[FINAL VERSE — FLOW SWITCH / HALF-TIME]** No big dream No fresh start No “new me” bullshit No healing heart Just— One full tank One cheap motel One more chance To outrun myself Maybe I can't. Maybe that's the joke. Drive a thousand miles— Still got the same damn ghost. But I'd rather find out With a highway ahead Than rot right here Doing circles instead So keep my name Keep my past Keep every rumor Keep talking trash If I fail— I'll fail somewhere new. If I fall— I'll get back up too. Everything I know Already burned itself down— So where am I headed? **You already know now.** **[FINAL HOOK — MAX ENERGY]** Whole life's going south Girl gone, job gone, word got around Bank account damn near bottomed out— **FUCK IT I'M GOING SOUTH** Going south Going south No turning this motherfucker around If my whole damn world's going south— **I'M GOING SOUTH** Going south Going south— **I'M GOING SOUTH** **[4-SECOND INSTRUMENTAL OUTRO — HARD STOP]**
