[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
