歌词
It's 2002 everything was totally new
那是2002年,一切都是崭新的
We were globally huge

Watching sales go through the roof
看着销量冲破天际
We wrote and we viewed it
我们写下并欣赏这一切
Runyon Avenue soldiers included

A multitude of homies who would bounce for no good excuse
我们这一群兄弟都不会找任何借口
We were so bulletproof wrote souped and soaked in our youth
我们年轻时写下的词是那么坚不可摧,充满活力
Thought we was running sh*t till we lost the sole of our shoe
以为我们会一直走下去直到把鞋底走掉
The death of Doody broke us in two
然而Doody的死让我们分道扬镳
We were thrown for a loop ain't none of us know what to do
我们陷入一个死循环,没人知道该怎么做
And at the time I was going through my own struggles too
而在那时,我也正经历着折磨
So I wasn't in no condition to be coaching us through
所以我也没有任何办法指引我们
Everyone tried to go solo really nobody blew
每个人都想单飞,但真的没人火起来
I was hoping they do so I ain't have to shoulder the group

The plan was put everyone in position so that they knew
计划就是把每个人放到他们所熟知的位置
How to stand on they own and I don't want to open up wounds

I just noticed the oomf was gone when we go in the booth

Cause the truth is the moment that proof died so did the group
因为事实上那时候Proof死了,我们的组合也是
If I could leave this world behind

It was never the same and it's bothered me since

And the farther we drift apart the more awkward it gets

And we gotta be men we got responsibilities

Plus we don't say how we feel and I feel like this is what got us in

The debacle we're in d**n with you guys thick and thin

More than try talking you into coming up off of it
