I'm Gone
Mr. Chino Lyrics

How can I get so far gone
The singer is pondering how he became so lost in life

When can I move on
The singer is wondering when he can break free from his current situation

Dreading a world that'll never go on
The singer is pessimistic and feels that the world will never improve

If I took the time replace
The artist believes that if he takes the time to make changes, he can improve his life

Only mine erased
The artist feels that he needs to start with himself and his own mistakes if he wants to move forward

'Cause I feel as if I'm here but I'm gone
The singer feels disconnected and lost, even though he is physically present

I heard a lil' tale about to children sittin on the kitchen floor
Mr. Doctor recounts a story he heard about two children living in poverty

They eatin mayonaise out the jar and they moms out smokin dope on the stroll
The children are eating mayonnaise because they have no other food, while their mother is out on the street using drugs

Man, you believe this Life is complete for them And it ain't no emotions, only instinct And that's how they'll be raised by the streets
Mr. Doctor is surprised at the children's situation and recognizes that they are growing up with a harsh reality and no emotional support

Oh it ain't all gravy where you at 'Cause that's where he gon' go to jack Catch his first case at, become a disgrace at But not in this world up the boulevard
Mr. Doctor acknowledges that the area he's from has its own problems, but that the children he mentioned earlier will have a harder time living in a rough area

I'ma see to hit that liquor, starts so easily The difference people in my life are dyin and I see this My question is, to what lengths do we go so that they live 'Cause I'ma reach this My locc's mean everythang to me, life is an odysea But sometimes, you don't step up and take the reigns Man, the world'll play you cheap, should I ride
Mr. Doctor struggles with the challenges of life and wonders how far he's willing to go to help others. He acknowledges that life is difficult, but believes that he must take control of his own life

I'm picturin kids cryin, a head firin up dope over the stove Family car gettin repot because they couldn't cover the note Nobody knows what's to eat because there's no groceries And the baby suffers from a rash 'cause he hasn't been changed in over a week The oldest keeps things together, by scramblin up some powdered eggs She's only 5, so why her mom can't keep them pimps from out her face How could they rape in that arrestin The mother won't admit, but she's molested, diseased and infested With wing worms, both of her legs covered with ring burns She cleans up, but whoever heard of some clean germs I seen the, hurt in her mama's eyes, she tramatized Been beat up, ever since her father died, no harmonize
Slim Loc paints a vivid picture of the struggles of a family living in poverty, including drug use, hunger, lack of hygiene, and abuse

It's hard for me to talk about the good things in my life With all the things I did for stripes And the way I made my gramps and my mama cry This life is real, and I ain't got time to care about you Just sell smack to you, and sell crack to you, and sell a sack to you Never give back to you, unless you know me and you owe me And never worry about your dreams, that's you the bigga the lil' homie Here to corrupt you for sho', like my pops did and he did it wrong Now he lost everything he owned and he lost everyone he knows Here to corrupt you fo' sho' Like a ??? showin you the ropes And introduce you to all kinds of good stuff like alcohol and weed smoke And dice games, take you to places you may die And the whole time we rollin, I'ma say, man, this the real way to survive Understand this
Mr. Doctor reflects on his own mistakes and the people he has hurt in the past. He recognizes that he is currently focused on making money, even if it means selling drugs and negatively influencing others. He also acknowledges that he is perpetuating a cycle of negative behavior that he learned from his own father
