-1-
I been through mad different phases like Mazes
to find my way & now I know that happy days are not far away
If Im strong enough Ill live long enough to see my kids
doing something more constructive with they time
than bids I know because I been there
now Im in there (uhh)
sit back & look at what it took for me to get there (uhh)
First came the bullshit the drama with my mama
she got on some fly shit so I split
and said that Ima be (whooh)
that seed that doesnt need much to succeed (Uhh)
strapped with mad greed and a heart that doesnt bleed (what)
Im ready for the world or at least I thought I was
baggin niggas when I caught a buzz
for thinking about how short I was (c抦on)
Going too fast it wouldnt last but yo I couldnt tell
group homes & institutions, prepare my ass for jail (uh-huh)
They put me in a situation forcin me to be a man
when I was just learnin to stand without a helpin hand
Damn, was it my fault, somethin I did
to make a father leave his first kid at 7 doin my first bid? (uhh)
Back on the scene at 14 with a scheme (uhh)
to get more green than Id ever seen in a dream (uhh)
and by all means I will be living high off the hog (what)
and I never gave a fuck about much but my dog (what)
Thats the only muthafucka I had offered my last
Just another little nigga headed nowhere fast
Ay yo Im slippin Im fallin I cant get up
Ay yo Im slippin Im fallin I cant get up
Ay yo Im slippin Im fallin I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit up!

That aint the half (uh)
shit gets worse as I get older (uh-huh)
actions become bolder heart got colder (uh-huh)
chip on my shoulder that I dared a nigga to touch
didnt need a click cause I scared a nigga that much (c抦on)
One deep with a bitch, startin shit for kicks
catchin vicks throwin bricks (uh)
gettin by bein slick (uh)
used to get high just to get by (what)
used to have to puff my L
in the morning before I could fly (what)
I ate something a couple of forties made me hate somethin (uh-huh)
I did some coke now Im ready to take something (uhh)
3 years later showing signs of stress
didnt keep my hair cut or give a fuck how I dressed (ohhh)
Im possessed by the darker side livin the cruddy life
Shit like this kept a nigga with a bloody knife (c抦on)
wanna make records but Im fuckin it up (why)
Im slippin Im fallin I cant get up
Ay yo Im slippin Im fallin I cant get up
Ay yo Im slippin Im fallin I cant get up
Ay yo Im slippin Im fallin I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit up!

Wasnt long before I hit rock bottom (uh)
Niggas talking shit like damn look how that rock got him (uh)
Open like a window no more Indo look at a video (uh)
sayin to myself that couldve been yo ass on the TV
believe me it could be done somethins got to give
its got to change cause now Ive got a son (yes)
Ive got to do the right thing for shorty
and that means no more getting high drinking forties (c抦on)
So I get back lookin type slick again (uh)
Fake niggas jump back on my dick again (uh-huh)
Nothin but love for those that know how it feel
& much respect to all my niggas that kept it real
Kept a nigga strong (uh)
kept a nigga from doin wrong (uh)
niggas know who they is and this is yo fuckin song (uh)
and to my boo who stuck with a nigga through
all the bullshit youll get yours because its due (c抦on c抦on)
Ay yo Im slippin Im fallin I cant get up
Ay yo Im slippin Im fallin I cant get up
Ay yo Im slippin Im fallin I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit up!
See, this is that shit

That all real niggas can relate to
This is from the heart baby, dont get it twisted
