My
luck is taking a turn for the worse
I used to ride in luxury
Now I'm headed for a hearse
At least it feels that way
My day to day is full of suffering
My headaches can't be relieved
By aspirin or buffering
Am I tougher than my problems?
I'd like to think so
But every time I try to rise
All I do is sink slow
Like I'm out in the Pacific
And my vessel capsized
Seems like I've been going through it
Since I got baptized
Bless the Jesus I can feel him all up in my bones
Cause he be giving me game on how to live my life long
Can't forget about the angels in the psychiatric center
Helping me to feel like I'm a winner Got me taking Lexapro
Just so I can improve my mood It got me feeling like a giant
All obstacles better move or get flattened
In the process of me reaching to the top
Y'all know that I'm the cream of the crop And all my people say
Get your ass up out my way,
say then I got a mansion,
robe,
and a grand wedding
Never,
never again Will you catch me here being seen?
Cause when the pearly gates open I wanna be stepping in
Get your,
get your ass up out my way,
say then I got a mansion,
robe,
and a grand wedding
I threw away what you did for so I can make it to the top
And from there,
say when a,
when a nigga dealing with a lot
I'm all alone but guess what?
That's alright Placing my fears and producing tears That's alright
See I'm a grown man but I still cry sometimes Cause I'm a sponge
soaking up pain Trying to come out the rain I've been doing right all
my life And still suffering by murderers and crooks I get bubble
and I need a break So many decisions to make I can't concentrate
Cause everybody in my life is so fake All the years that I've wasted
Loving and trying to be with somebody who's never even fitting me
For real I thought I had a family but out the window it went With
all my legal problems and all this beefing with every sense of honor
Pillar to post,
solo on the corner Bitch don't know nothing about Joseph,
she just wanna boner
But I'm old school,
tell him of my burial plot I just need a
lady to dig me when I'm dead and put a lot
Get your,
get your ass up out my way,
say that And I got a mansion,
robe and a grand wedding
Never,
never again Will you catch me living in sin?
Cause when the pearly gates open I want the bitch there with me
Get your,
get your ass up out my way,
say that And I got a mansion,
robe and a grand wedding
I threw away what you did for so I
can make it to the top And from there,
say when a,
when a nigga dealing with a lot
So lately I've been searching for happiness through my prayers,
holy father
Can you hear me when I'm down on my knees?
I need a bridge over troubled water,
save me please
I'm just a lost soul,
trying to find it's way back home
Everything I love has been taken away from me,
now I'm alone
But it's all good,
tell me when the sun gon' shine
All this nothingness, motherfucking life of mine
Mami,
it's been 20 years since I seen your face Do me a favor,
ask God if I'm included in his grace
Cause I'm feeling abandoned like the last
man standing So much poverty and pain,
this ain't the way that I planned
All I wanted was to make a little money and split To give my people,
they grow old with grandchildren and *
I'm still happy,
even if my cases don't get dropped And remain sane,
even when a nigga dealing with a lot
Get your,
get your ass up out my way,
say that I got a mansion,
road,
band,
and crown,
wedding never,
never again
Will you catch me,
can you see if it's when the pearly gates open up on the beach,
step in?
Get your,
get your ass up out my way,
say that I got a mansion,
road,
band,
and crown,
wedding
I threw away what you did for so I
can make it to the top And from there,
say when a,
when a nigga dealing with a lot
