[Verse:]
Lately, my luck has taken a turn for the worse
I used to ride in luxury, now I’m heading for a hearse
At least it feels that way, my day-to-day is full of suffering
My headaches can’t be relieved by Aspirin or Bufferin
Am I tougher than my problems? I’d like to think so
But every time I try to rise all I do is sink slow
Like I’m out in the Pacific and my vessel capsized
Seems like I been going through it since I got baptized
(Mr. Jesus, I can feel him all up in my bones)
Cause he be giving me game on how to live my life long
Can’t forget about the angels in the psychiatric center
Helping me to feel like I’m a winner
Got me taking Lexapro, just so I can improve my mood
It got me feeling like I’m giant, all obstacles better move
Or get flattened in the process of me reaching to the top
Ya’ll know that I’m the cream of the crop
And all my people say
[Chorus:]
Get your ass up out my way, Satan
I got a mansion, robe, and a crown waiting
Never again will you catch me living in sin
Cause when the pearly gates open I wanna be stepping in
Get your ass up out my way, Satan
I got a mansion, robe, and a crown waiting
I do away with you devils so I can make it to the top
And remain sane, even when a nigga dealing with a lot
[Verse 2:]
I’m all alone, but guess what (that’s all right)
Facing my fears and producing tears (that’s all night)
Yeah, I’m a grown man but I still cry sometimes
Cause I’m a sponge soaking up pain
Trying to come out the rain
I been doing right all my life
And still suffering by murderers and crooks out here bubbling, I need a break
So many decisions to make, I can’t concentrate
Cause everybody in my life is so fake
All the years that I wasted loving and trying to build
With somebody who was never even feeling me for real
I thought I had a family, but out the window it went
With all my legal problems and all these beefing with 30 cents
I’m a loner
Pill on the post, solo on the corner
Bitch don’t know nothing bout Joseph
She just want Z-Ro to bone her
But I’m old school, till I’m in my burial plot
I just need a lady to dig me when I’m dealing with a lot
[Chorus:]
[Verse 3:]
Ain’t no happy feelings in the air
So lately I been searching for happiness through my prayers
Holy Father, can you hear me when I’m down on my knees?
I need a bridge over troubled water, save me please
I’m just a lost soul, trying to find it’s way back home
Everything I love has been taken away from me, now I’m alone
But it’s all good, tell me when the sun gon shine
On this nothing ass motherfucking life of mine
Momma, it been twenty years since I seen your face
Do me a favor – ask God if I’m included in his grace
Cause I’m feeling abandoned, like the last man standing
So much poverty and pain, this ain’t the way that I planned it
All I wanted was to make a little money and split
Take care of my people and grow old with grandchildren and shit
I’m still happy, even if my cases don’t get dropped
And remain sane, even when a nigga dealing with a lot
[Chorus:]
