Yeah, it's crazy ups and downs, you know I'm sayin'? Crazy how the runs, word up it out, bring it in
Lord, I'm tryin' to keep But this is full of strife and I'm tired of tryin' to conquer it Boy, you know I was thinkin' What can go will go wrong until the beast in me vanishes
of all I was born under a bad sign Confined to torture, never saw life had to offer Time slips away pop singles on the radio Chino never had the doe, I was though
Sabotaged at birth, by an evil angel To strangle my aspirations from every From a corner to a demo deal from Warner performer, crowd warmer
Thought it was on but it I never got no budget, like a glue trap, it goes to prove that the greatest lyricist can't paint the full picture It's a mixture
I get me no, no satisfaction Like bein' blind watchin' a movie with no closed I some time to ease my mind I'm bested, fuck Mr. Wendal my arrested
All I to do was rock with my fast ass And blast the mass, collect quick cash Did what I did best, create but began to All these flake people makin' artists wait
But be up there one day And soon to slam wax, innovate rhymes that my fans I view this world my notepad expanding my vocab to win, till then it's all bad
Lord, I try to keep But this life is full of strife and I'm tired of to conquer it Boy, you I was thinkin' negative What can go wrong, will go wrong until the in me vanishes
Lord, I try to positive But this life is full of strife and I'm of tryin' to conquer it Boy, you I was thinkin' negative What can go wrong, will go wrong until the in me vanishes
When I was merely a sophomore, to Atlanta on a false tour ain't what I prayed so hard for Dreams broken into particles Like porcelain figurings attached to me barnacles
Now I'm to be happy like Bobby McFerrin Keep faith, the only thing holy is the drawers I'm '89 I to graduate, no exaggerate I got it now but trust too bad it to gravitate
Evaporating energy from inside of me To the point my love for God no more provides for me Of course lost pride, obviously the force To paradise no one invites but puts the Of Rights
S A T proving ya I'm a spick die respective like Rahoul Julia So cease with, all that shit Expect MC from Chi kid, you gets the wicked shit, till I see fit
To open my life strife like the pearly of Heaven For merely a this is my expression Prepare wealth and share self Maybe I can help but I'm but I be large anywhere else
The illegal, twisted, war The swallowed us, it takes an activated mind to follow this And true to to be ourselves not to follow a fad or give in to trends then, it's all bad
Lord, I try to positive But this life is full of strife and I'm of tryin' to conquer it Boy, you know I was thinkin' What can go wrong will go wrong until the in me vanishes
Lord, I try to positive But this life is full of strife and I'm tired of to conquer it Boy, you I was thinkin' negative What can go wrong, will go until the beast in me vanishes
prayers plays the background I my baseball caps down I hide the of my tears from rappin' peers
I got on and soon he wasn't a moment to I lose my mind, I lose my My daughter's in a too
I'm goin' through a tug of war inside my mental wall Record just went platinum, I'm slappin' 'em, I'll you all of Rolling Stones, Vibe even TV Guide Was filmin' my first in L.A. when I heard my baby died
Shook it off without a thought that she was Soul Train Awards, I go to not my daughters I stay drunk and like I'm imperial Surrounded by more groupies than a Rakim video
Now a tour to me, except the way I was rejected formally neighborhoods I know supported me It's eatin' me, attempts repeatedly What I worked so hard for is defeatin' me
I'm paranoid my own mom can't being a tabloid So she wasn't shocked when my flopped Caught in the industry, money frivolously Now I've robbed, I can't believe my lawyers did this to me
Next album was filled up with tragedies and Are fans with smilin' faces with no real for bein' here I call the Lord, when in Billboard I plummet 3 to 10, it seems that failure is my new trend
I was all that, now I just fall flat, splat Vials of crack, my old friends let me call back So where am I? Can I find myself a misty to God, I'm fallin' off like TJ Swan
Lord, I try to positive But life is full of strife and I'm tired of tryin' to conquer it Boy, you know I was thinkin' What can go wrong, go wrong until the beast in me vanishes
Lord, I try to positive But this life is of strife and I'm tired of tryin' to conquer it Boy, you know I was negative What can go wrong, will go wrong until the in me vanishes
