They're Gone

I see shadows in the rearview every time I drive  

Hear they voices in the wind when I’m barely alive  

Told ‘em I’d make it, now the promise feel cheap  

‘Cause the ones I made it for, they ain’t here to see  

I pour out the liquor, let the concrete drink  

Watch the bubbles disappear, that’s what I think  

About the days we was young, talkin’ reckless and bold  

Now the stories get told by the ones that stayed cold  

I’m still breathin’, still schemin’, still chasin’ the dream  

But the victory taste different when you chase it alone  

They’re gone now, but the fire still burn in my soul  

Every move that I make, they still part of the goal  

So I grind for the names that the reaper erased  

Turn the pain to a crown, let the legacy taste  

They’re gone now, but the legacy lives in my stride  

Every step that I take, they still ridin’ inside
