true

Tell me how I got here and what i've done to earn it
I feel like i'm speedin round witout a fuckin permit
man, life is such a roller coaster
this last year i walked around in a comatose or
drugged out slumber
that's how it felt dawg i wasn't sleepin right
u find some1 that u love u better keep em tight
treat em right, and don't let em leave ur sight
cuz when u do u'll end up down on ur knees at night
thinkin why did i let em go
look how they done changed now
tried to make it work again
shit just ain't the same now...
the words animosity, and it's causin tension
jelousy
o and rage, did i forget to mention?
now u smokin, drinkin, sniffin, maybe even benchin
whatever u can to keep these thoughts from dispensin
and bitch problems only take you so far
now the warrants out for you and you duckin every cop car
shit's turnin bitter, no ain't nuthin sweet
and ur boys ain't even thank u for takin all the heat
whens the last time u felt good, prolly far back
and ur boys still in the streets like the trolley car tracks
so now u locked up with some piss smellin dudes
with the lawyer and the bail, uve more than payed ur dues
now u wanna curl up inside ur bed and just snooze
...but that's when u get the call with the bad news
comon now, why my nigga tim had to go
why he take that fuckin pill man he had to know...
now we can't smoke, talk, chill, pass and go
take it hard to the cup or just laugh at ho's
it's so hard to keep ur head straight
just gettin outta bed feels like liftin dead weight
why? cuz u got to bed late
still with the same thoughts
that won't leave ur mind now
in this fight ur brain lost
i can't control my thoughts man i ain't no buddhist
especially when i gotta keep my eyes out for judas
in this city i was born, there's alotta hearts torn
and alotta scars worn, every night we all mourn
it sucks when you realize that the fairy tale book
that u dreamed up, is all ripped and seamed up
but it's a cold world even in the heart of summer
all these aids walks and stuff, i think we need a runner
the only thing to do is keep movin
even when the music stops playin, keep groovin
never sit around and ask why
cuz that's when u let ur whole life pass by
