Yeah, it's ups and downs, you know what I'm sayin'? Crazy how the runs, word up it out, bring it in
Lord, I'm to keep 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
First of all I was born under a bad Confined to torture, never saw life had to offer slips away like pop singles on the radio Chino never had the doe, I was though
Sabotaged at birth, cursed by an angel To strangle my from every angle From a street corner to a deal from Warner performer, crowd warmer
Thought it was on but it I got no budget, stuck like a glue trap, it goes to prove that Being the greatest lyricist can't paint the picture It's a mixture
I can't get me no, no bein' blind watchin' a movie with no closed caption I some time to ease my mind I'm bested, fuck Mr. my development's arrested
All I to do was rock with 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 be up there one day And soon to slam wax, innovate rhymes that my consume I view this through my notepad Thus expanding my to win, till 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 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 know I was negative What can go wrong, go wrong until the beast in me vanishes
When I was merely a sophomore, went to Atlanta on a tour This ain't what I prayed so for Dreams broken into individual Like porcelain figurings to me like barnacles
Now I'm supposed to be happy like McFerrin Keep faith, the only thing holy is the I'm wearin' '89 I aimed to graduate, no I got it now but too bad it seems 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 rides To paradise no one but puts the Bill Of Rights
1430 S A T ya I'm a spick die respective like Rahoul Julia So with, all that street shit Expect MC from Chi kid, you the wicked priest shit, till I see fit
To open my life strife like the pearly of Heaven For merely a entertainment this is my Prepare and I'll share self Maybe I can help but I'm but I be large anywhere else
The illegal, twisted, war The problem us, it takes an activated mind to follow this And to realm to be ourselves not to follow a fad or give in to trends Till then, all bad
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 wrong until the in me vanishes
Lord, I try to keep But this life is full of strife and I'm tired of to conquer it Boy, you know I was negative What can go wrong, will go wrong until the beast in me
Unanswered plays the background I pull my baseball down I hide the tracks of my from rappin' peers
I got on and soon he wasn't a moment to I my mind, I lose my friends My in a coma too
I'm goin' through a tug of war inside my mental wall Record just went platinum, I'm 'em, I'll show you all Cover of Rolling Stones, Vibe TV Guide Was filmin' my movie in L.A. when I heard my baby died
Shook it off a thought that she was beautiful Soul Train Awards, I go to not my daughters I stay and high like I'm imperial Surrounded by more white groupies than a Rakim
Now life's a tour to me, except the way I was formally Disrespected neighborhoods I know me eatin' me, suicide attempts repeatedly What I so hard for ultimately is defeatin' me
I'm paranoid my own mom can't being a tabloid So she wasn't shocked my movie flopped Caught in the industry, spendin' frivolously Now I've been robbed, I believe my lawyers did this to me
Next was filled up with tragedies and despair Are fans with smilin' faces with no real purpose for bein' I call the Lord, when in Billboard 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 won't let me call back So where am I? Can I find a misty storm? to God, I'm fallin' off like TJ Swan
Lord, I try to keep 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, will go wrong the beast 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 until the beast in me vanishes
