Lyrics
Yeah Some ol'... Out the muthaf**kin closet type sh*t Knawimsayin' Some crazy real... Down to earth type sh*t Real n***as know what im talking about Knawimsayin' Peep it... I've been through mad different phases like mazes just to find my way And now I know that happy days is not far away If I'm strong enough, I'll live long enough to see my kids Doing something more constructive with their time than f**kin' bids I know because I been there, now that I'm in there I can sit back and look at what it took for me to get there First came the bullsh*t, the drama with my mama She got on some fly sh*t, so I split and said that I'ma Be that seed that doesn't need much to succeed Strapped with mad greed and a hеart that doesn't bleed I'm ready for the world or at lеast I thought I was Bagging n***as when I caught a buzz For thinking about how short I was Goin' too fast, it wouldn't last, but yo I couldn't tell Group homes and inst**utions prepared my a** for jail They put me in a situation forcing me to be a man When I was just learning to stand without a helping hand Damn, was it my fault, something I did To make a father leave his first kid at seven doin' my first bid? Back on the scene at fourteen with a scheme To get more cream than I'd ever seen in a dream And by all means I will be livin' high off the hog And I never gave a f**k about much but my dog That's my only mothaf**ka I hit off with my last Just another lil n***a headed nowhere fast Ayo, I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up Ayo, I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up Ayo, I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I gots to get up Get me back on my feet so I can tear sh*t up That ain't the half, sh*t gets worse as I get older Actions become bolder, my heart got colder Chip on my shoulder that I dared a n***a to touch I Didn't need a clique 'cause I scared a n***a that much One deep with the pit startin' sh*t for kicks Catchin' vics, throwin' bricks, gettin' by bein' slick I Used to get high, just to get by I Used to have to get my philly in the morning before I could fly Ate somethin', a couple of forties made me hate somethin' After a coolie i was ready to take somethin' Three years later showin' signs of stress Didn't keep my hair cut or give a f**k how I dressed I'm possessed by the darker side, livin' the cruddy life Sh*t like this kept a n***a with a bloody knife Wanna make records but I'm f**kin' it up I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up Ayo, I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up Ayo, I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up Ayo, I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I gots to get up Get me back on my feet so I can tear sh*t up
