[Intro: Bones Owens]
I've been a devil
I've been a ghost
I've seen the world
Saw more than most

[Verse 1: Jelly Roll]
Lord, please I'm pleadin' for my innocence
What doesn't get you in the wash will get you in the rinse
I kept it two hundred, head first, full plummet
Stood all alone, knowin' that the wolves comin'
I had some OG's that really wasn't OG's
And know some dope fiends that went to jail and acted like Joel Osteen
I'm back standin', try me, I'ma backhand 'em
Nashville's bad guy baptized in Jack Daniels
Tattooed with nothin' never had nothin'
White trash as a motherfucker shout out my cousins
Shout out my brothers and my uncles and my fuckin' mother
Shout out the fact that we came up out the fuckin' rubble

[Chorus: Bones Owens]
Yeah, I've been waiting
For this day to come
For a long, long time
Yeah, I'm gonna break these chains
And feel the sweet sunshine
Yeah, I've been waiting
For this day to come
For a long, long, long, long time
[Verse 2: Struggle Jennings]
It's been a long journey, slow down to hurry
Smoke had my vision blurry, watchin' bridges burnin'
Muddy water, murky, hallowed ground sturdy
Long road, curvy, learn the curves, become worthy
Vision driven, Murphy, mansion gates, pearly
Leave 'em cold turkey, stuff 'em like a taxidermy
Good person done dirty by the thirsties
Every dog has it's day, fifty-seven thirties, uh
So scurvy, I could hurt 'em, what it's worth
Born from the womb, from the tomb I was birthed
Freedom proceeded had a last and a first
From the mud, covered in dirt, made the best out of worst

[Chorus: Bones Owens]
Yeah, I've been waiting
For this day to come
For a long, long time
Yeah, I'm gonna break these chains
And feel the sweet sunshine
Yeah, I've been waiting
For this day to come
For a long, long, long, long time
