[Intro]
This life sh**, this life sh**, is like, is like
Bugged the f** out son, for real
See to live is to suffer but to survive
Well, that's to find meaning in the suffering
[Hook ]
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 sh** 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 sh** up
[Verse 1]
I've been through mad different phases like mazes, to find my way
And 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 their time than bids
I know because I been there
Now I'ma there sit back and look
At what it took for me to get there
First came the bullsh** the drama with my Mama
She got on some fly sh** 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
Bagging n***as 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 and institutions, prepared my a** for jail
They put me in a situation forcing me to be a man
When I was just learning to stand without a helping hand
Damn, was it my fault, something I did
To make a father leave his first kid at seven doin my first bid
Back on the scene at fourteen 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** about much but my dog
That's my only muthaf**a I had offered my last
Just another little n***a headed nowhere fast
[Hook]
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 sh** 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 sh** up
[Verse 2]
That ain't the half sh** get's 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 clique cause I scared a n***a that much
One deep with the pit starting sh** for kicks
Catching Vicks throwing bricks gettin by being slick
Used to get high to get by used to have to puff my L
In the morning before I get fly
Ate something a couple of forties made me hate something
I did some coke now I'm ready to take something
Three 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 living the cruddy life
sh** like this kept a n***a with a bloody knife
Wanna make records but I'm f**ing it up
I'm slippin', I'm falling, I can't get up
[Hook]
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 sh** 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 sh** up
[Verse 3]
Wasn't long before I hit rock bottom
n***as talking sh** was like damn look how that rock got him
Open like a window
No more endo
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
Gots to change cause I've got a son
I gots to do the right thing for shorty
And that means no more gettin' high, drinkin' 40s
So I get back looking type slick again
Fake n***as jump back on my dick again
Nothing but love for those that know how it feel
And much respect to all my n***as that kept it real
Kept a n***a strong, kept a n***a from doing wrong
n***as know who they is and this is yo f**ing song
And to my boo who stuck with a n***a through
All the bullsh** you'll get yours because it's due
[Hook]
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 sh** 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 sh** up
[Outro]
See this is that sh**, this is that sh**
That all real n***as can relate to
This is from the heart baby
Don't get it twisted
X baby
