Royce Da 5'9" - Merry Go Round lyrics

[Hook] I have tried in vain, never had success So it seems my life is nothing but a mess I have lost, my only friends Now it seems I have to start again, merry go around [Verse 1] My life's been going around 'n' round since '95 Went from going somewhere to about to die Went from calling my chick a chicken Cause she look like she got poultry around her thighs To calling your piece a chicken Cause she got no teeth And she got crow feet, around her eyes How hard are y'all? I got a heart the size of Arkansas Count to five, these birds gon' hit the ground and they ain't from out the sky Went from having an outta-this-world-flow, to doing a video doing the coon dance To watching' my good friend Eminem winning' a moonman I remember cause I was in New York with all of my boys to start sh** Letting 'em stay with me, long story short, they tore up my corporate apartment Went from being a kid addicted to basketball To being an ignorant n***a addicted to alcohol Round and round we go is how this movie would end Self-proclaimed King of my city, not really just truly the King of losing a friend Who woulda thought this dude in the park who's true to his art would lose Or win just by giving his thoughts and views [Hook] [Verse 2] You would hear that Ryan's sk**ed might even hear Ryan k**s You will never hear Ryan Stills, here to put the "i" in ill My mind is still like a merry-go-round spill Like leaving only guns to my kids when I'm k**ed, I got an iron will Intellect of Zion, I done went too high on pills To triumph, to hiding from bills, to buying buildings Then I went from writing for Dre to wondering if my head was on straight On the sidelines feeling forgot about listening to "Forgot About Dre" From there I went to about a bottle a day Telling who we know "Get outta my face!" okay I know what Kino said about Dre I look at Kino to this day like that was a stupid mistake But if it wasn't for him doing that, what would I be doing today? If it wasn't for Cashis saying that he gonna beat my a** Then me and Em probably wouldn't be laughing bout us getting past it If it wasn't for me being outcasted I woulda never been on the underground rapping with SLAUGHTERHOUSE! [Hook]
