What is the matter with Dice (matter with Di-ice ehh)
Why is he so mad at his life (mad at his li-ife ehh)
What happened, what happened, what happened
What does he be so mad when he be rapping?
Why do people need to leave him be what happened?
Listen, listen, listen.. (X2)
[Verse 1: Dice]
A n***a done been through the most
Been fighting my demons and ghosts
The realest sh** I ever wrote
Listen, listen, listen close (listen up close sh**)
All that we had was each other
My mom was a dad and a mother
Went six years, one after the other
A n***a used to have a pops
But when he found out he was not
My biological decided to kick me out and change the locks
I wonder what I did wrong
I was nowhere near grown
All alone and them streets are open wonder how I'm getting home
Now that made me mad but I made it back
And I'm waving gats and I'm slaying crack
And I'm founding n***as on my way to cla**
Before they could laugh at the blatant fact
That I'm drowning n***a
So I'm wilding n***a, but I can't relax
Rolling dice so they named me that
Nothing nice but I'm crazy bad

[Verse 2: Dice]
Mama just married a crack addict the hell up with that?
Why would she settle for that? She's better than that
I'm telling you facts
On Christmas I witnessed her [?]
Our presents and sell 'em for crack and wrap 'em back
Instead of just tellin' us that with a guilty conscience
He let us unwrap, empty boxes
Mama promised he'd never come back but that was an empty promise, I knew better than that
Just seen a dope man in our car
He must have sold it for crack now his kids must walk far
Damn and I was there
Then it got violent and I got scared
Every single night said I silent prayer
I was just nine and quite aware
He hit my sis in the eye and yeah
Pushed his son down a flight of stairs
Night after night he would beat on my mama
I'm only just nine but I don't care
Fighting back to write on his back
He gon' k** mama if I don't attack
I hit him with all the might that I had
Then he hit me and I finally collapsed
I had to play dead for him to stop choking me
But when I awoke I seen that him and mom were back together
[Outro]
Why is he so mad at his life (mad at his li-ife ehh)
What happened, what happened, what happened
What does he be so mad when he be rapping?
Why do people need to leave him be what happened?

Why is he so mad at his life (mad at his li-ife ehh)
What happened, what happened, what happened
