it takes to find a wayto find a wayto find a wayAlright I'm dealing with some shit homey, it's in the back of my head (1)and it's some shit homey, but I just rap it insteadsee I got wolverine bones in mebut the whole world's throwin stones at me it's like they all gotta bone with me (2)got a child's mother, and I hate her to deathbut that's my child's mother, so that's my mate to the deathIt's wack how I love her for puttin little me here (3)and me and her could beef forever, she gon still be there (4)Then there's some other niggaz, I'm just a character to em' (5)but they some other niggaz, now let's get back to the song (6)I got a drug problem, that I aint tending to (6)because I got enough problemsand my solution is to stuff problemsbut if something goes wrong with thatthen it's back to pcp and solong with rapsee I'm depressed lately, but nobody understandsthat I'm depressed lately, I'm sorta feeling repressed latelyWhen all they hearin and seein me less lately (7)like has anyone noticed the regress lately (8)look deep nigga don't I seem stressed latelyseem disturbed, by the regress lately (9)I got a company that I'm signed tobut they ain't in my company, when all I need is some companywhen I start feelin like everybody's done with meI tryna see what everybody want with methen the mistress, yeah, the girl from ten minutes is huff (10)now I'm needing ten minutes from her (11)I can't get into it, but I want y'all to knowthat I'll get into it, but I'll save that for the growththen theres rap beef, but I'm so secure with me (12)it's only rap beef, I don't need se-cu-rity (never)wanna get at me, wanna go to war with methat's just one phonecall for mecheck the shit, I got a whole hood, that don't appreciateit's not the whole hood that depreciates me (13)what you gon tell me, when it's the streets that made meand I won't let the belly of the beast degrade meand then there's rap critics, they say all I make dance music (14)but to almost anything you can dance stupid (15)they ain't like the single, so they ain't copped that albumwouldn't give a chance to it, not a second glance to itthey say he wines to much, he's too bitterthey call it complaining, I call it explainingNow normal niggas could get caught up in the game and (16)lose they mind and y'all call it entertainmentsome shit with me, but dude's been knew that (17)but I'm gambling a lot and I ain't used to do that (I didn't) (18)If rap ain't payin the bills, it's mo money mo problems (19)or it's no money mo problemsall enormous when you play at these stakesPlus how it feel to have a warrant on a famous face (20)then the album's pushed back, cause they say he needs a single at the momentbut what he needs is a single momentthen I'm involved in the 'he say she say (that)that's on my mind on replay, each day (21)then it's the bullshit that she say he's gay (22)cause she wouldn't like to think that he ain't like herjust cause she was throwing it at me and I ain't touch hershe'll say anything aside from, I ain't wanna ***** her (23)I don't feel good, so I don't wanna go to a club (24)don't wanna go to a lounge, just wanna loungeIn the same sweats that I had on for days (25)same t I had on for a week, what I got on it speaks (26)what I got on, it reeksno shape up, sean, cause that's just how I'm feeling (27)and one day at a time, is god willing (28)I'm tryna see straight but the fog keeps building (29)Pulse starts racing the bull startin to hate me (30)but I gotta be a king cause there's wolves tryna play me (31)hoodie when it's hot like it's freezing winter (32)rap star, eat and sleep for dinner (33)and it's hard tryna keep this in ya (34)so I write it all down, so one day maybe when life is all sweet I rememberthen it's probation, I know we all go through itwe call it probation, but there's no pro to itand my soul's aching, only a few peers know (35)funny thing about the case is it's a few years oldhad some shit going on with my ohh, that felt good but it's badso I'm sitting here like what the ***** hadit's not rap it's real, look scrappy it's trueknowin what's popping, do I (we) look happy to you (36)now if it goes to the wire, got the soul of a fighter (37)bruised up and sloppy, or damaged like Ali (38)up late talking to the fans on a websitethat's the only thing that send yo man off to bed right***** the world ***** my moms and my girlwell maybe not mom, just let me remain calmthis dude won't last, this dude shall pass (39)at least that's what I say yall, that's what I pray forand I'm the only thing that's standing in my way yallbut I gotta be with me, it's no escape yallI guess the pressure just stepped in, and took over shit like it's known to do (40)Guess it's that haze yo I'm goin home with you (41)Turn your phone off, I need to be alone with youI need to be in the zone with youCuz I'm the only thing you've grown to, nigga (42)Look, I own you, niggaBeen with you since 10, but you starting to confuse mecause it's been so long and you still tryna lose meLike how, could you show me such crueltyWhen everybody turns their back on you, Joe it's you and meStill you don't want me to see you rightAnd why you always come get me, how we re-unite(Tell me) I know you feel for me deep in your heart (43)Doctors, meetings, pills couldn't keep us apartBut now you got a deal and you, wanna get rid of me (44)(But) We're roommates, I'm in your head, Joe you live with me (45)So I don't write for the fans, nah, I write to my manIn hopes that he'll just leave and understand (46)Like, like please leave the kid in peaceLet me smoke this one cig in peaceJust leave for a second, and it's been too long, and I can't group it (47)As long as you around I can't make that dance music (48)I'll do whatever it takes, to find a way (49)to find a wayto find a waywhatever it takes, to find a wayto find a wayto find a wayI'ma do whatever it takes, to find a wayto find a wayto find a wayWhatever it takes, to find a wayto find a wayto find a way
