Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
Hahaha, [Em]uh
See, to live is to suffer
But to survive
Well, that's to find meaning
in the suffering

[Verse 2]
Ay yo I'm [Em]slippin',
I'm [C]fallin', I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin',
I can't get [Em]up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin',
I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet
so I can [C]tear shit up

[Verse 3]
Ay yo I'm [Em]slippin', I'm [C]fallin',
I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin',
I can't get [Em]up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin',
I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet
so I can [C]tear shit up

[Verse 4]
I've been [Em]through mad different phases [C]like mazes,
to find my way
And now I know that happy
days are not [Em]far away
If I'm strong enough I'll live long
enough to see my kids
Doin' somethin' [C]more constructive
with their time than bids
[Em]I know because[C] I been there
Now I'm in there,
sit back and look at what it took for me to [Em]get there
First came the bullshit
the drama with my Mama
She got on some fly shit, so I split
[C]And said that I'ma be tha[Em]t seed that
[C]doesn't need much to succeed
Strapped with mad greed and a heart
that doesn't [Em]bleed
I'm ready for the world or
at least I thought I was
Baggin' niggas when I caught a buzz
for [C]thinkin about how short I was
[Em]Goin' too [C]fast, it wouldn't last but yo,
I couldn't tell
Group homes and institutions
prepared [Em]my ass for jail
They put me in a situation,
forcin' me to be a man
When I was [C]just learning to stand
without a helpin' hand
[Em]Damn, [C]was it my fault?
Something I did?
To make a father leave his first kid,
at seven doin [Em]my first bid
Back on the scene at fourteen
with a scheme
To get more cream than [C]I'd
ever seen in a dream
And by [Em]all means I [C]will
be livin' high off the hog
And I never gave a fuck
about much but my dog
[Em]That's the only muthafucka I'd
hit off with my last
Just another little nigga
[C]headed nowhere fast

[Verse 5]
Ay yo I'm [Em]slippin', I'm [C]fallin',
I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin',
I can't get [Em]up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin',
I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can [C]tear shit up

[Verse 6]
Ay yo I'm [Em]slippin', I'm [C]fallin',
I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin',
I can't get [Em]up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin',
I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet
so I can [C]tear shit up

[Verse 7]
That ain't [Em]the half,
[C]shit get's worse as I get older
Actions become bolder, heart got [Em]colder
Chip on my shoulder that I
dared a nigga to touch
Didn't need a clique [C]'cause
I scared a nigga that much
One [Em]deep with the [C]pit,
startin' shit for kicks
Catchin' vics, throwin' bricks,
gettin' by bein' [Em]slick
Used to get high just to get by
Used to have to puff my L in the
[C]morning before I get fly
[Em]Ate somethin',
[C]a couple of forties made me hate something
I did some coke now I'm ready
to [Em]take something
Three years later showing
signs of stress
Didn't keep my hair [C]cut or give
a fuck how I dressed
I'm [Em]pos sessed by the [C]darker side,
livin' the cruddy life
Shit like this kept a nigga
with a [Em]bloody knife
Wanna make records but
I'm fuckin' it up
I'm slippin', I'm [C]fallin',
I can't get up

[Verse 8]
Ay yo I'm [Em]slippin',
I'm [C]fallin', I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin',

I gots to get up
Get me back on my [C]feet
so I can tear shit up

[Verse 9]
Ay yo I'm [Em]slippin', I'm [C]fallin',

Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin',
I gots to get up
Get me back [C]on my feet so I

[Verse 10]
can tear shit up
[Em]Wasn't [C]long before I hit rock bottom
Niggas talkin' shit, was like "Damn,
look how that [Em]rock got him"
Open like a window, no more indo
Look at [C]a video,
say to myself "that could've been yo
[Em]Ass on the T[C]V",
believe me, it could be done
Somethin' gots to give,
gots to change 'cause now [Em]I got a son
I gots to do the right thing for shorty
And that means no [C]more gettin' high,
drinkin' 40s
So [Em]I get back [C]lookin' type slick again
Fake niggas jump back on my dick again
[Em]Nothin' but love for those
that know how it feel
And much respect to all
[C]my niggas that kept it real
Kept [Em]a nigga [C]strong,
kept a nigga from doin' wrong
Niggas know who they is and this
is yo fuckin' [Em]song
And to my boo who stuck
with a nigga through
All the bullshit,
you'll [C]get yours because it's due

[Verse 11]
Ay yo I'm [Em]slippin',
I'm [C]fallin', I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin', I'm fallin',

Get me back on my [C]feet so I can tear shit up

Ay yo I'm [Em]slippin', I'm [C]fallin',

Get me back on my [C]feet so I can tear [Em]shit[C]
[Em]up
