Early life
Haystak was born to teenage parents, raised by his grandmother, and grew up in the poorest environment. As he got older, Haystak began engaging in a life of crime. But all that ended after being arrested on charges of drug possession at the age of 15.[citation needed]
Music
Haystak began rapping after being released two years later, but no one gave him the chance to prove himself. So Haystak took a daring chance and joined a local label called Street Flava Records and producers Kevin Grisham and Sonny Paradise. They produced his debut album, Mak Million, in 1998. With his description of the southern way of life from a white boy's point of view, Haystak won the respect of his peers in the underground rap scene and was recognized by the people of Nashville, both white and black. Two years later, Car Fulla White Boys came out with many fans waiting eagerly. With his success, Koch Records signed Haystak and rereleased Car Fulla White Boys that same year. In 2002, Haystak's third album, The Natural, was released on Koch. Since then, Haystak's fame has grown greatly, and he even played a small role in the 2005 film Hustle and Flow.

Haystak Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You are not the only one
Going through what your going through you know what I'm saying?
Ah come on ah come on
I don't give a fuck what position you find yourself in
Just find security knowing somewhere else
someone is going through the same struggles you are right now
I remember December middle of a bitter winter
Ass on the trunk feet swinging by the fender
Arguing with you in the freezing cold
I was wrong you ain't have to leave me though
Out here fucked up all alone
And what I really want to say is come on come home
But I got this load on me
Couldn't be worse than my momma died or my main homie told on me.
Hold me grand mom standing in front of her house
Tears trickle off my cheek and onto her blouse
And I realize now that once she's gone
I'ma truly know the meaning ah being alone when I'm...
[repeat 2X]
Allll allone, I don't even care which way I go
I'm just following my radio
What's up to all the home girls?
Caught up in this world
Preoccupied with money and sex powder and x
Little momma I promise its not the solution
I'm aware your life's style is full of confusion
I saw you at my show I had no time to talk
So close your eyes and imagine were taking a walk
Compliment you on your beauty your handsome behind
But at the same time tell ya god gave you a mind
And you should put it to use go back to school
So you can have something with or without these fools
Don't let no dude beat you miss treat you
You deserve to be loved I understand you attracted to thugs
But pick a real motherfucker that's gonna treat you well
Not no dead beat staying in and out of jail
Its hard when you out here alone and cold
That's the shit that make a stripper chick work that pole 'cause she's...
[repeat 2X]
Allll allone, I don't even care which way I go
I'm just following my radio, rollin
We don't die, we multiply
Alcoholics pre occupied with being high
A work a holic who had seldom if ever rested
A damn fool for letting Cathy leave I contested
Every convicted felon that had ever been arrested
Every quiet child that had ever been molested
Every struggling rapper that had ever made a record
Every average cat that ever came in second
A proud father changed diapers and warmed bottles
Made a honest living and now I'm a role model?
A good dude for your son or daughter to look up to
Be here when the world got em feeling like... fuck you
Help them see better days and overcome obstacles
They go to school and hurt somebody I'm a feel responsible
Something I could a said something I could have did
To get to them kids I know they felt like they were just...
[repeat 2X]
Allll allone, I don't even care which way I go
I'm just following my radio (rollin)
