Lyrics
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.

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 me back on my feet

so I can tear s t up!

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 me back on my feet

so I can tear s t up!

I been through mad different

phases like Masons

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 bullshit

the drama with my mama

She got on the fly s t until i split

And said that I'm gonna 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' niggas 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 ass 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 cream 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 k

about much but my dog

That's my only motherf ker

I had offered my last

Just another little n a

headed nowhere fast

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 me back on my feet

so I can tear s t up!

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 me back on my feet

so I can tear s t up!

That ain't the half s t

gets worse as I get older

Actions become bolder heart got colder

Chip on my shoulder that

I dared a n a to touch

Didn't need a click cause

I scared a n a that much

One deep went to for kicks

Catchin' vicks throwin'

bricks gettin by bein' slick

Used to get high just to get

by used to have to puff my L

In the morning before I get 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 k how I dressed

I'm possessed by the darker

side livin' the cruddy life

s t like this kept a

n a with a bloody knife

Wanna make records but I'm f king it up

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 can't get up

Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm

fallin' I gots to get up

Get me back on my feet

so I can tear s t up!

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 me back on my feet

so I can tear s t up!

Wasn't long before I hit rock bottom

Niggas talking s t 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 ass on the TV

Believe me it could be done

something's got to give

It's got 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 niggas jump back on my d k again

Nothin' but love for those

that know how it feel

& much respect to all my

niggas that kept it real

Kept a n a strong kept

a n a from doin wrong

Niggas know who they is and

this is yo f kin' song

And to my boo who stuck

with a n a through

All the bullshit you'll

get yours because it's due

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 me back on my feet

so I can tear s t up!

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 me back on my feet

so I can tear s t up!

Can't get up...I gots to get up

This is from the heart

baby, don't get it twisted

Ah RATED!
