Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But right now Im just a broke muthafucka
Wanna kill me go ahead pull the trigger
Dont gotta aim cuz my head's gettin bigger
When everyone comes beatin down my door
I'm just watchin out the window
You think Im just a punk let me get to my trunk
Thats as far as that shit goes
We ride the train along the way
We ride the pain
Such a long ride to replace so hard to find
Im a long way from home
And Im so far gone
Come again, come again
What are you sayin now?
Its just the same thing I heard for years now
Go figure be the one thats left here
Talkin shit behind my back
To everybodys ear
Used to be a game now everything changed
Im just the same old busta
A little more stupid, but Im crazy insane
Im just the same old hustla
We ride the train along the way
We ride the pain
Such a long ride to replace so hard to find
Im a long way from home
And Im so far gone
I know that you wanna see me cryin
And you know I dont wanna hear ya denyin
But ya satisfaction lies, and your illusions
But your illusions are yours and not mine
Some day I'll be a rich ass nigga
But right now Im just a broke muthafucka
Wanna kill me go ahead pull the trigger
Dont gotta aim cuz my head's gettin bigger
When everyone comes beatin down my door
I'm just watchin out the window
I'll get a gun, I'll shoot every fuckin body
Thats as far as that shit goes
We ride the train along the way
We ride the pain
Such a long ride to replace so hard to find
Im a long way from home
And Im so far gone
The lyrics to Sunny Ledfurd's song "So Far Gone" touch on several themes, including poverty, violence, and the struggle to make a better life. The singer begins by acknowledging his current status as a "broke muthafucka," but expresses his desire to become a "rich ass nigga" someday. He's aware of the danger he faces living in poverty, as anyone could come and kill him at any moment. He's also aware of the envy and resentment he faces from those who are not in his circumstances, but he brushes them off with a warning that he's not to be underestimated.
The singer goes on to describe his journey thus far, acknowledging that it's been a difficult ride. He's ridden the train of life through pain, and the replacement for that pain has been hard to find. The singer is far from home and feels as though he's so far gone that he can't even recognize himself anymore. He's lived through the same old game where people talk behind his back, but he's no longer interested in playing. He's tired of it all and feels just as trapped as before.
The chorus emphasizes the long and painful journey that the singer is on. He's ridden the train through the pain and is still searching for a way to replace it. He feels like he's a long way from home and is so far gone that he can't find his way back. Despite everything, the singer is determined to make a better life for himself. He knows that some people want to see him fail, but he's not going to let them take him down.
