[Ab] I've been through mad different phases, like Macy's to find my way.
And now I know that happy days are not [Fm] far away.
If I'm strong enough, I'll live long enough to see my kids.
Doing something more constructive with the [F] time than bids.
[Eb] I know because I've been [Ab] there, now I'm in there.
Sit back and look at what it took for me [Fm] to get there.
First came the drama with my mama.
She got on some fly, so I split.
It's a [Ab] dilemma, be that seed that doesn't need much to succeed.
Strapped with mad greed, a heart that doesn't [Fm] plead.
I'm ready for the world, or at least I thought I was.
Sagging, when [Db] I caught a buzz, I was thinking about how [Ab] short I was.
Going too fast, it wouldn't last, but yo, I couldn't tell.
Group homes and institutions [Eb] prepared [Ab] my ass for jail.
They put [Bb] me in this situation, forced [Fm] me to be a man.
When I was just learning to stand without a helping hand.
[G] Damn, [Ab] wasn't my fault, something might've lit.
To make a father leave his first kid [Bb] at seven, doing [Fm] my first bid.
Back on the scene at 14, broke the scheme to get more green [Cm] than I'd ever seen.
And the dream, and by [Ab] all means, I will be living high off the Harbin.
Never gave a *** about [Eb] much, but my [Fm] dog was the only *** that I'd head off with my last.
Just another little [Db] puma, headed nowhere [Ab] fast.
Hey yo, I'm slipping and falling, I can't get up.
Hey yo, I'm slipping and falling, I can't get up.
Hey yo, I'm slipping [Fm] and falling, I got to get up.
Getting bats on [C] my feet, so I can kiss.
[Ab] Hey yo, I'm slipping and falling, I can't get up.
Hey yo, I'm slipping and falling, [Bb] I can't get up.
Hey yo, [Fm] I'm slipping and falling, I got to get up.
Getting bats on my feet, so I can kiss.
[Ab] That ain't the half, it gets worse as I get older, actions become bolder, heart got colder,
chip on my shoulder that I didn't touch, [Fm] didn't need to click [Db] cause I scared of it, at [Fm] much,
went deep with the [Ab] start, I'm a king, catching vicks, throwing bricks, getting by, being
[Fm] slick, used to get high, just to get by, used to have to pause, little pneumonia, probably
[Eb] could fly, ate something, [Ab] couple of 40s, maybe ate something, after some, now [Ebm] I'm ready [Fm] to
take some, 3 years later showing signs of stress, didn't keep my hair [Db] cut, I give a
f*** how [Eb] I dress, I'm possessed by the darker side, living the cruddy life, [Ab] like this, [Eb] keppin'
with a [Fm] bloody knife, wanna make nuggets but I'm holed up, slipping, falling, [Ab] can't get up,

slipping, I'm falling, I can't get up, hey yo I'm slipping, I'm falling, I can't get [Ab] up, hey yo I'm

rock bottom, like damn look how that, how [Fm] that got, open, like a window, no more endo, look at the
video, say to myself that could [Ab] have been yo, it's on the tv, believe me, it could be done, something
got to give, got to change, now I gotta say, [Fm] I got to do the right thing for shorty, and that means
no [Db] more getting high, bringing [Ab] 40s so I get back, looking tight slick again, fake, jump back on [Ebm] my
