Song Lyrics

This is where the young folks are born
And the old people die
We're just tryin' to get by
Tell 'em meet me at the crossroads

This is the good and the bad
That's what you gotta choose now
We gonna make it somehow
Tell 'em meet me at the crossroads

This is where the young folks are born
And the old people die
We're just tryin' to get by
Tell 'em meet me at the crossroads

This is the good and the bad
That's what you gotta choose now
We gonna make it somehow
Tell 'em meet me at the crossroads

The candy lady told me, I let 'em demons comin'
My souls tight, body's old, and I'm sick of runnin'
You better pray, one day, look you gotta choose
Right or wrong, you gone, young man make a move

Revelations drawn closer, man, a three headed beast
The Chosen One might not rise from the east
South side I'ma ride till the gas gone
I wish I could call Jesus up on the phone

Like, Lord I'm still burnin' from the slave trade
Can't reproduce 'cuz our folks got AIDS
The black folks is killin' black folks, not gays
I spray the AK and pray, why were you late?

This is where the young folks are born
And the old people die
We're just tryin' to get by
Tell 'em meet me at the crossroads

This is the good and the bad
That's what you gotta choose now
We gonna make it somehow
Tell 'em meet me at the crossroads

This is where the young folks are born
And the old people die
We're just tryin' to get by
Tell 'em meet me at the crossroads

This is the good and the bad
That's what you gotta choose now
We gonna make it somehow
Tell 'em meet me at the crossroads

Cut my wrists in fear
When do I go from here, my mind's less than clear
Do I turn in shame?
From what could save, do I find my knees and pray?

It's great, Lord, I'm sorry for my sins
I prepare for the end, You just let me know when
It's hard like a boulder, this world is gettin' colder
But I'ma stand strong, till You call for Your soldiers

This is where the young folks are born
And the old people die
We're just tryin' to get by
Tell 'em meet me at the crossroads

This is the good and the bad
That's what you gotta choose now
We gonna make it somehow
Tell 'em meet me at the crossroads

This is where the young folks are born
And the old people die
We're just tryin' to get by
Tell 'em meet me at the crossroads

This is the good and the bad
That's what you gotta choose now
We gonna make it some how
Tell 'em meet me at the crossroads

Let the devil come and go
Tell him let my soul be
'Cuz I got the Lord with me

So, so, let the devil come and go
Tell him let my soul be
'Cuz I got the Lord with me, so

We were blind now we see
In the end we'll be free
We were blind now we see
In the end we'll be free

This is where the young folks are born
And the old people die
We're just tryin' to get by
Tell 'em meet me at the crossroads

This is the good and the bad
That's what you gotta choose now
We gonna make it somehow
Tell 'em meet me at the crossroads

This is where the young folks are born
And the old people die
We're just tryin' to get by
Tell 'em meet me at the crossroads

This is the good and the bad
That's what you gotta choose now
We gonna make it somehow
Tell 'em meet me at the crossroads

Tell 'em meet me at the crossroads
Tell 'em meet me at the crossroads
