[Hook] 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 [Hook] 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 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? Listen, listen, listen..
