I was sitting back and I was thinking, man.
I ain't really trying to deal with this,
this is going on, you know?
Can.
I don't know what to do, yo.
Yo.
It's like every time I make one step, man,
take two steps back, you feel me?
It doesn't matter how much I practice,
it doesn't matter if I have a mask.
Man, I
keeps you from trying to wrap a rope around your throat.
Don't choke.
You're feeling like giving up.
Life isn't a million bucks.
You're feeling like living sucks.
God's telling you he's your boy, but you
don't want to give him trust.
Mama telling you pay your tithes,
and you yell at her back for what?
So the pastor could ride fast to get some rims on his truck.
I don't think that they'll miss 10% of negative bucks.
Put some Henny up in your cup.
Your problems will start to drown.
But soon as your buzz leaves, them problems
come back around.
Damn.
Keep your head up as we go down.
They tell me life will get better.
Let it be.
Sorry, but the world keeps stressing me.
It's raining a fountain of memories.
It's gonna be alright is what they're telling me.
It's gonna be alright.
More of the stress gets the best of me.
Childhood is on a road that's ahead of me.
And my brain gets cloudy by the memories.
And may God knows how I feel now.
The outside is smiling,
but inside I know it's hell bound.
It's a dark road and I'm right here in the middle of it.
Do a one floor if I run, am I missing something?
I took the time out to save a little bread,
now my eyes got water in them.
Why the f*** am I still standing here?
Nobody love me, I ain't happy here.
My mama saying she can't handle him,
but still I'm looking at the bright side.
But I'm viewing through my other eyes,
cause it's a different color sky than the last one.
My mind set on the prize that may never come.
So do I try to stay alive or do I *** a d***?
And it all put a stop to the pain that
goes on in my head every time it rains.
The devil's speaking,
so you listen to the thoughts of an evil spirit,
a demonic person every time I talk.
I'm confused by my psychological setbacks and
the storm washing out through the wet cracks.
Looking for heaven off in all the wrong places.
I've given up, so why long faces?
Let it rain.
I'm feeling bad, I gotta keep my head up.
What are they telling me?
What it better be?
Sorry but the world has been stressing me.
Stressing me,
stressing me,
it's gonna be alright is what they telling me.
That's what they telling me,
I should get the best of me.
Try to focus on the road,
I'm trying to focus on the road.
It's a random beat, it's coming out of memory.
I can't act like the be alone you prefer.
Build collective steady call and starting to get on your nerves.
You went through on your first,
but right now it's the third.
It's gonna get better,
but I ain't believing the word.
I feel like it's hard to deal.
Tomorrow is harder still,
not to mention the realest member.
Your family is getting ill.
Tell me it isn't so.
Tell me it isn't real.
In the midst of all the drama,
you take a little time to kneel.
The deal,
you take a pill just to deal with the drama.
You thinking your life's sinking and there isn't a plumber.
They tell you it doesn't kill you,
it only makes you stronger.
You'd have to be a superman to lift as much as me,
papa.
They tell you stay strong.
You're trying,
but help is just what you're doubting.
Cause the room is a monsoon that's never
gonna get to dry and the storm is moving on.
And you thinking these people
are lying.
They saying they had it worse.
How come they all keep on smiling?
I'm gonna make it through for sure.
For sure.
Yeah.
Don't let stress take control.
Gonna be all right.
I know.
I'm gonna make it through for sure.
For sure.
Yeah.
Stress is what they tell me.
What I wanna be.
Sorry but the world keeps stressing me.
Brain's not proud of the memories.
What they tell me.
Don't let the stress get the best of me.
Try to remember it's on a road that's ahead of me.
Till my brain gets cloudy by my memory.
When it seems like nothing but dark clouds
are raining in on your bright sunny day,
remember the sunlight always comes after the rain.
You should be thankful.
Every day should be a celebration of life.
