Move On
Wildhearts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Chorus]
If I go on my way without you
Woooahh where would I go
If I go on my way without you
Woooahh where would I go

I'm having flashbacks
Let me relax my dome
My whole joints blown another soldier won't be coming home
Parkside is gonna miss you black foreva

Ties will never sever
You died tryin to live better
Did what you had to do and now you deceased
I hope you livin in peace don't even stress that beef

Go head and sleep count your blessings return to the essence
Everytime I see your fam word is bon I feel your presence
Its all over bearing witness like jehovah
ain't nothing strange unless you watch your range like a rover

Follow me son, what's done is done, forgot it
God bless his soul while his bodys underground rotting
We won't forget you let a brother try to dis you
I swear to god he better have a blade and plus a pistol

Forever miss you got babies that want to kiss you
Shining like crystal, and at your wake I pass your ma a tissue

[Chorus: x2]

He was only thirteen when he burst his splean
The shot was fatal
He died right there upon the kitchen table BLAOW
It happened all alone in his house

Not a creature was stirrin, not a roach or a mouse
And I was just with him, playin Sega
And buggin on the horn with some honeys like a couple of playas
And now he's gone

I'm speakin on my man K-Shawn
Forever on my mind mentally as I kick my song

He used to talk about the box in the closet
Where his pops kept a glock and all the safety deposits
Now he stressed, fiendin just to hold some heat
I guess it came from all the stories that he heard in the street

I can't explain it, its ill how we used to feel
I used to tell him stop playin wit that chrome-piece steel
He never listened, and now my man is missin in action
I blame it on the fools in the street that's always blastin

[Chorus: x2]

Ah-yo my dreams are filled with terror
Shots gettin nearer
Paralyzed and right in front of my eyes its gettin clearer
A tragedy resulted from a brothers bad scratch

Tried to rob a deli but the gat he had was raggy
Bullets sprayed, ricocheted and automatically
Hit a bystander, young girl named Amanda
The slugs in her back by this cat buggin no crap

Another rugrat, somebody tell me where the loves at
Was only seven already on her way to heaven
She reached her day and now she won't see her wedding
Some might say that this was destined or something

But her parents only had one child and now they left with nothing
Book all that flix and when they daughter was six
Before they moved from the bricks and got caught up in the mix
They thought things would get better now they stressed forever
They last vision was image of a blood-soaked sweater





[Chorus: x4]

A tragedy resulted from a brothers bad scratch
A tragic event occurred because of someone's foolish mistake


Tried to rob a deli but the gat he had was raggy
He attempted to rob a store, but the gun he used was in poor condition


Bullets sprayed, ricocheted and automatically
Bullets were fired, ricocheting and hitting whoever was in their path


Hit a bystander, young girl named Amanda
An innocent bystander, a young girl named Amanda, was hit by the bullets


The slugs in her back by this cat buggin no crap
She was hit in the back by the bullets fired by a reckless criminal


Another rugrat, somebody tell me where the loves at
Another innocent child has been harmed, and I'm wondering where the world's compassion has gone


Was only seven already on her way to heaven
She was so young and innocent, and tragically passed away


She reached her day and now she won't see her wedding
Her life was cut short, and she won't have the chance to get married and start a family


Some might say that this was destined or something
Some people might believe that this was a predetermined outcome


But her parents only had one child and now they left with nothing
Her parents lost their only child, and are now alone and grieving
