My Walk Lyrics

Hold up
(On my walk)
I've been good and I've been bad in every way
(On my walk)
I've been moving keys and singing all day
(On my walk)
I found love but I just watched and walked away
(On my walk)
If she take me back I probably wouldn't stay
(On my walk)

Found by the Bay (on my walk)
Found by the Bay (on my walk)

I've seen lawyers, judges, hustlers in my dreams
(On my walk)
It don't mean nothin' if they ain't on your team
(On my walk)
I've been takin' backstreets just to feed my soul
(On my walk)
You don't know me and don't wanna see me cold
(On my walk)
I don't bother nobody, I do what I do
(On my walk)
What I do, I only do it for you
(On my walk)
Worked a nine to five so Mama couldn't complain
(On my walk)
I wasn't no shorty tryin' to buy no gold chains
(On my walk)
I played in school and church and talent shows, Father help me
(On my walk)
Stage was next then I was found by the Bay
(On my walk)
Drunk man told me to pick up the saxophone
(On my walk)
I said, "Black, drunk man, could you please leave me alone?"
(On my walk)

Found by the Bay (On my walk)

Very next mornin' I had a horn in my hand
(On my walk)
I thought I was in the southern marching band
(On my walk)
I love Jimmy but Jimmy smoke crack and sold my horn
(On my walk)
Jimmy shot heroin, he was my Mama's son
(On my walk)

Found by the Bay (On my-)
