[Hook:] I tried so hard to live my life With these kinda people around me With these kinda people around me My friends just tell me to keep my head high Oh don't you worry Tell me people, I just gotta know I can't take it, can't take it no more Tell me people, I just gotta know I can't take it, can't take it no more [Verse 1: Suffa] (Check it out, ay come on, yeah) Man I feel this pain and I realise the game ain't sh** Cause I've signed these kids arms where they've trieda' drain their wrists And that's as deep as it gets son Deeper than an old drunk beating his step son Now how you going to mess with the loved ones? Wanna beat em'? It's like this demon wanted kids just to mistreat 'em As street preachers scream at the heathens Man we've been caught up in a net like sea creatures Free speech is speechless we just don't care that they took it We just don't care that they're crooked Corruption is like c**aine and everybody's just so high And they're all so good looking Man f** that That kid's got gravel on his knees from the ground that he grovel on Matchstick Babylon burn it to the ground, churn it up, rip it up (Turn it upside down, burn it up) And grandfathers died on battlefields so we could die in toilet floors Smack up, pa** out and soil our drawers Cut throat, blood soaks, and soils our shores We got a war for oil that gives us oil for wars f** that man cause I'm a believer I love life I love pieces like they don't love either My love is deeper, my brother's keeper It's like they want to set us all now chuck the f**ing ether What? [Hook:] I tried so hard to live my life With these kinda people around me With these kinda people around me My friends just tell me to keep my head high Oh don't you worry Tell me people, I just gotta know I can't take it, can't take it no more Tell me people, I just gotta know I can't take it, can't take it no more [Verse 2: Pressure] Is the world made of plastic? Is the city buried in schemes? Ain't it tragic? Capture we rage and to lay in traffic, till it beats us into shape like a hated blacksmith Writing blue collar change, a kid escaping notice, when the f** we became the process Tainted focus, straining, so stressed, pain of slow d**h No! Burn it down in the name of progress We see, teach and grow the most lethal foe When he k**s for a reason he don't even know While media's feeding your evening show Like vampire's getting high on other people's lows So while the courts are choked with matters The only status that counts is the amount over balance Cause credit is a loan attached to a rope and ladder If you don't know the swagger, the cloak and dagger Sex workers, street urchins, houses, squaller, glad the churches got merchants out, we've got 'em Got murderous politics. Don't be absurd its gonna surface hidden by the courteous bounds of honour And in the hope I'll cope I'll get over a flow with the dope and lines in the Coca Nostra And I'm focused to know where the loves at Ya'll gotta go then it'll come back (come back...) [Hook:] Tell me people, I just gotta know I can't take it, can't take it no more Tell me people, I just gotta know I can't take it, can't take it no more
