Now ain't no way for me to make it
on my own out here
But since grandma left me alone out here
Help me lord cause every day
I'm slipping when I'm striving
and my struggle toward surviving
Has got me tripping when I'm driving yo
I see shadows and I'm swerving man
Now what's gone keep me from
crashing on this curve
And who knows damn
Chips on my shoulders someone kill it
and quick because my kids will be among the first to fill it, shit
I try to focus on my career
But still I feel like I'm the brokest
man of the year
Record company chumping me
first they bumping me
Pumping me when I'm slumping gee
then they dumping me
Huh dam I figure I'd be cool if I just pray
But somehow it feels like
I can't make it no way
My broad is jammin me coming from a broken family she's always scamin me
What's a brother to do man
Hook:
I'm losing my mind yea
but I gotta get through this
I'm close to the edge
I never knew it come to this
losing my mind yea
but I gotta get through this
I'm close to the edge
I never knew it come to this
Now my nine to five that ain't no money
So I just hit the streets ain't nothing funny
I might just rob
a few kids on the block slangin
My pants hangin
now my homies got me gang bangin
I'm trying to get out
before my rivals put the hit out
And cut this shit out
But they ain't let'n me go without a funeral
Now I'm on the run somebody save me
Cause I'm bout to give up
on this life god gave me.
Maybe I can come up from working
if he let me live
This goes through my head
as my legs start to give
Ain't no way I'd go back to this
My pockets got to adapt to this
Life as a ex dealer gettin sent
to working at fed-ex
and that just gotta pay the rent
and now I'm no longer paid
Gotta struggle on my own
Money made money gone yea
Hook....
Another debt don't tell me
What's with this shit people mail me
Lips don't fail me now
Gotta think of something quick
Cause if I keep tripping
I'm'a stress until I'm sick
Don't know why they gotta do me like this
I might just die if no one helps me fight this
My life is on the line and its danglin
But thanx to all these songs I be sangin
You ain't found me hangin or stranglin
My ex over some bull
Hide my gat cause next time I might pull
The trigger on her
Streets done got me living mad again
Being bad again moms sad again
not that again
Man its got to be a better way
Even though you never know
how long you here to stay
I just pray day to day get my pay
If I may then I break away so I wont lose it yea...
