Ha ha ha ha ha ha uhh
See to live is to suffer but to survive
well that's to find meaning in the suffering.

[Chorus]
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I gots to get up
Get back on my feet so I can tear s*** up!
[Repeat]

[1]
I been through mad different phases like mazes
to find my way & now I know that happy days are not far away
If I'm strong enough I'll live long enough to see my kids
doing something more constructive with they time
than bids I know because I been there
now I'm in there sit back & look
at what it took for me to get there
First came the bulls***: the drama with my mama
she got on some fly s*** so I split
and said that I'ma be that seed
that doesn't need much to succeed
strapped with mad greed and a heart that doesn't bleed
I'm ready for the world or at least I thought I was
baggin' n****s when I caught a buzz
for thinking about how short I was
Going too fast it wouldn't last but yo I couldn't tell
group homes & institutions, prepare my a** for jail
They put me in a situation forcin' me to be a man
when I was just learnin' to stand without a helpin' hand
Damn, was it my fault, somethin' I did
to make a father leave his first kid at 7 doin' my first bid?
Back on the scene at 14 with a scheme
to get more green than I'd ever seen in a dream
and by all means I will be living high off the hog
and I never gave a f*** about much but my dog
That's my only mutha-f***a I had offered my last
Just another little n**** headed nowhere fast

[Chorus]

[2]
That ain't the half "uhh!" S*** get's worse as I get older
actions become bolder heart got colder
chip on my shoulder that I dared a n**** to touch
didn't need a click cause I scared a n**** that much
One deep with the pitch startin' s*** for kicks
catchin' vicks throwin' bricks gettin by bein' slick
used to get high to get by used to have to (sounds like) "buff my hell" in the morning before I could fly
I ate something a couple of forties made me hate somethin'
I did some coke now I'm ready to take something
3 years later showing signs of stress
didn't keep my hair cut or give a f*** how I dressed
I'm possessed by the darker side livin' the cruddy life
s*** like this kept a n**** with a bloody knife
wanna make records but I'm f***in' it up
I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up

[Chorus]

[3]
Wasn't long before I hit rock bottom
N****s talkin s*** like damn look how that rock got him
Open like a window no more Indo look at a video
sayin' to myself that could've been yo a** on the TV
believe me it could be done somethin's got to give
gots to change cause I've got a son
I've got to do the right thing for shorty
and that means no more getting high drinking forties
So I get back lookin' type slick again
Fake n****s jump back on my d*** again
Nothin' but love for those that know how it feel
& much respect to all my n****s that kept it real
Kept a n**** strong "Uhh" kept a n**** from doin' wrong
"Uhh" N****s who they is and this is yo f***in' song
and to my boo who stuck with a n**** through
all the bulls*** you'll get yours because it's due

[Chorus]

See, this is that s***.
This is that s*** that all n****s can relate to.
This is from the heart baby, don't get it twisted
Ahh X RATED!!!!!
