[Intro: Chinua Hawk]
I don't know why I go through the same sh** everyday
It never subsides I feel like taking my life today
[Verse #1: Che Broadway]
Shaking as I'm waking up
Alarm clock annoying as f**
My brain feel like it's in the engine of a truck
& plus I wake up high
& still spark the clip that's in the ashtray at my bedside
Continuously red eyed
Still ready to go toe-to-toe with three jedi's
After this 8-1, 2-10, 12-8
Getting paid like a slave & working harder than a welterweight
I never pop the champagne cause there ain't sh** to celebrate
Sometimes when I'm pissed I wish d**h would accelerate
As long as I don't suffocate I'm straight
So where's fate?
It's past due
Maybe this break should be my last move
Maybe I should blast you
Confess & do the time
Maybe if we combine & cop a truck load of gats
The nine of us could be hitting more banks than Minnesota Fats
But I'm already walking a rough path & I must have
The light more than I must have the mustache for life
& my wifey want the rice out the church
Every night she put me through the worst strife in the universe
I'm soon to burst
Assuming I don't get rich off this verse
The sh** hurts
& I refuse to live cursed
But why?
[Chorus: Chinua Hawk]
I don't know why I go through the same sh** everyday
It never subsides I wish he would take my life away
I don't know why I go through the same sh** everyday
It never subsides I feel like taking my life today
[Verse #2: Che Broadway]
Feel like fluorescent light bulbs energy's penetrating my skull
Cooling my blood til it's cold slowly disentegrating my soul
This scrimmage is taking it's toll & Hell knows I can't fold
Or lose my stake in the gold
My mind body losing control
So I'm out raping the system & anybody faking their wisdom
The insane holds a plate out & accepts only what their given
It's living versus surviving
It's fighting versus diving
You can't waste time deciding when polar opposites are colliding
You choose to rise
Or keep sliding through life in complete silence
I rose
But my toes were still immersed in the street violence
Mind echoing police sirens
Side effects of the sweet science
Similar to a sheeps timing
Whose pinnacle is beef grinding
That's how deep I'm in
Anything to get the kid shining
I'd eat rocks of coal
If that meant I could sh** diamonds
Been sick more than decade thick
Strictly climbing
As I'm told
I'm on the road
From no one knows to tity signings
[Chorus: Chinua Hawk]
I don't know why I go through the same sh** everyday
It never subsides I wish he would take my life away
I don't know why I go through the same sh** everyday
It never subsides I feel like taking my life today
[Verse #3: Che Broadway]
So what are we supposed to believe in?
Propaganda's beyond deceiving
So I'm keeping my eyes open
Sleeping or sneezing
You can't trust a priest & we never trusted the precinct
Can't explain it to your folks cause they been blinded by Venetians
Victims of a corrupt sequence
My rabbit hole deepens
Got a list of questions for the answers I'm so fiending
They trying to keep us high on fancy words with no meaning
So we stay at odds
Repeating how we never broke even
Going back on your own teachings?
Your filth is so sweetened
In the afterlife
I see you toe-to-toe with your own demons
Got us steaming
Fighting for the very air we breathing
So as soon as the bell's ringing
I'm swinging the stick like Dave Kingman
Your castles each brick is just a figment
That's why we carry human crippling equipment
Our aim is sickening
It's based on a life or d**h commitment
The investment is the blood in our veins that keep's spinning
[Chorus: Chinua Hawk]
I don't know why I go through the same sh** everyday
It never subsides I wish he would take my life away
I don't know why I go through the same sh** everyday
It never subsides I feel like taking my life today
