Lyrics
Well, my mamma told me about it
Reflecting on advice from the speaker's mother about a crucial aspect of life.
She said, you're never gonna make it without it
Emphasizing the importance of the mentioned element for success.
And I pretended I didn't know what she was talkin about
Feigning ignorance or denial of the significance of the advice.
After all those years of runnin
Recalling a period of running or evading issues.
Low-down-son-of-a-gunnin
Describing a troubled and dishonest past.
And through all my tears, I think I finally figured it out
After facing hardships, the speaker is gaining insight into life's lessons.
I did all my business
Acknowledging past mistakes or questionable activities.
On the wrong side of town
Indicating involvement in negative or risky situations.
Sure as God is my witness
Swearing by the truthfulness of the speaker's statement.
I was on the way down
Expressing a decline or negative trajectory in life.
Who could hear me cryin, it was hard to tell
Feeling unheard during moments of distress.
I finally got a line to the man himself
Establishing a connection with a higher power.
Dealin with the devil's been hard as hell
Conveying the difficulty of dealing with challenging situations.
And, now, I'm doin business with Jesus
Transitioning to a positive shift by involving a spiritual figure, Jesus.
Well, my woman up and left me
Narrating personal setbacks, including a failed relationship.
And my gauge was readin empty
Experiencing a depletion of resources or emotional strength.
Lost my job, standing on the side of the road
Facing additional challenges like job loss and desperation.
Well, my feet and hands were shakin
Physical and emotional distress during difficult times.
Aw, the whole world was quaking
Highlighting the magnitude of the difficulties faced.
Being sick and tired, of carryin that heavy load
Expressing weariness from carrying burdensome responsibilities.
Now, there's a place for my worries
Introduction of a place or state where the speaker can find solace.
And all my affairs
Redirecting personal matters to a higher power.
I take all my business, to the man upstairs
Taking all personal concerns to God.
Well, who could hear me crying, it was hard to tell
Reiterating the difficulty of being heard during times of distress.
I finally got a line to the man himself
Establishing a direct connection with the divine.
Dealin with the devil's been hard as hell
Reaffirming the challenging nature of dealing with life's hardships.
And, now, I'm doin business with Jesus
Embracing a positive transformation by involving Jesus in the speaker's life.
Well, who could hear me crying, it was hard to tell
Reiterating the difficulty of being heard during times of distress.
I finally got a line to the man himself
Establishing a direct connection with the divine.
Dealin with the devil's been hard as hell
Reaffirming the challenging nature of dealing with life's hardships.
And, now, I'm doin business with Jesus
Embracing a positive transformation by involving Jesus in the speaker's life.
I'll be doin business with Jesus
Stating a commitment to continue seeking guidance from Jesus.
I'll be doin business with Jesus
Repeating the commitment to engage with Jesus for guidance.
