Yeah, it's crazy ups and downs, you what I'm sayin'? Crazy how the world runs, up it out, bring it in
Lord, I'm tryin' 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 wrong until the beast in me
First of all I was born a bad sign Confined to torture, never saw what had to offer Time away like pop singles on the radio Chino never had the doe, I was determined
Sabotaged at birth, by an evil angel To my aspirations from every angle From a street corner to a demo deal Warner performer, crowd warmer
Thought it was on but it I never got no budget, stuck like a glue trap, it goes to that Being the greatest lyricist can't paint the full It's a full
I get me no, no satisfaction Like bein' blind watchin' a with no closed caption I need some time to ease my I'm bested, Mr. Wendal my development's arrested
All I wanted to do was rock my fast ass And blast the mass, collect quick cash Did what I did best, but began to hate All these flake people makin' artists wait
But I'ma be up one day And to slam wax, innovate rhymes that my fans consume I view world through my notepad Thus expanding my vocab to win, till it's all bad
Lord, I try to positive But this life is full of and I'm tired of tryin' to conquer it Boy, you know I was thinkin' can go wrong, will go wrong until the beast in me vanishes
Lord, I try to keep But this life is full of and I'm tired of tryin' to conquer it Boy, you I was thinkin' negative What can go wrong, will go wrong the beast in me vanishes
When I was merely a sophomore, went to Atlanta on a false This what I prayed so hard for Dreams broken into particles Like porcelain figurings to me like 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 positive energy from of me To the where my love for God no more provides for me Of lost pride, obviously the force rides To paradise no one invites but the Bill Of Rights
1430 S A T 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 priest shit, I see fit
To my life strife like the pearly gates of Heaven For merely a entertainment this is my wealth and I'll share self Maybe I can help but I'm lost but I be large else
The illegal, twisted, war The problem swallowed us, it takes an 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 keep But life is full of strife and I'm tired of tryin' to conquer it Boy, you I was thinkin' negative What can go wrong will go wrong the beast in me vanishes
Lord, I try to keep But this life is full of strife and I'm tired of tryin' to it Boy, you I was thinkin' negative What can go wrong, will go until the beast in me vanishes
Unanswered prayers the background I pull my caps down I hide the tracks of my tears rappin' peers
I finally got on and soon he a moment to I my mind, I lose my friends My in a coma too
I'm goin' through a strange tug of war inside my wall Record just went platinum, I'm slappin' 'em, show you all Cover of Stones, Vibe even TV Guide Was filmin' my first movie in L.A. I heard my baby died
it off without a thought that she was beautiful Soul Train Awards, I go to not my daughters I drunk and high like I'm imperial Surrounded by more white groupies a Rakim video
Now a tour to me, except the way I was rejected formally Disrespected neighborhoods I supported me It's eatin' me, suicide attempts What I worked so hard for ultimately is me
I'm paranoid my own mom can't avoid a tabloid So she wasn't when my movie flopped Caught in the industry, spendin' frivolously Now I've been robbed, I can't my lawyers did this to me
Next album was up with tragedies and despair Are fans with smilin' faces with no real for bein' here I call the dear Lord, when in I plummet from 3 to 10, it seems that is my new trend
Thought I was all that, now I just fall flat, Vials of crack, my old friends let me call back So where am I? Can I find myself a storm? to God, I'm fallin' off like TJ Swan
Lord, I try to keep 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 beast in me
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 until the beast in me vanishes
