[Intro]

Just take all of your problems

And lock 'em all in this bottle

I said, you just take all of your problems

Toss that shit in that river

And you never ever have to worry 'bout them


[Verse 1]

Shorty told me she need money

And Mama told me she need groceries

A homie told me he need guidance

'Cause he don't know how he gon' proceed

Just a lil' big boy like Jordi

Y'all niggas running from the police

And them lil' kids somkin' on bogeys

And them young hoes fightin' on Maury

Just a young motherfucker with a story

In the hood but it's still pouring

And a few of my niggas got warrants

So now I'm running 'round the world like I'm touring

I still run it up the ceiling like Lauryn

No apologies, niggas ain't sorry

But no cake then, a rain, no party

Looking for a job can't pass my quarries

Fuck!


[Chorus]

But you can take all of your problems

And lock 'em all up in this bottle

Then toss that shit in this river

And you ain't never ever have to worry 'bout it, nah

You ain't never ever have to worry 'bout it

You ain't never ever have to worry 'bout it

'Cus you could take all of your problems

And lock 'em all up in this bottle

I said you could take all of your problems

And lock 'em all up in this bottle

Then toss that shit in that river

And you ain't never ever have to worry 'bout it, nah

You ain't never ever have to worry 'bout it

You ain't never ever have to worry 'bout it

'Cus you could take all of your problems

And lock 'em all up in this bottle


[Verse 2]

Yeah, young and your buddy got kids

And two of them babies ain't his

And he ain't even got not job

And his baby momma saying he ain't shit

There's way too many of us living that hell here

And niggas need change like hell yeah

So many young mothers on wellfare

And it sucks when the rain not helping

And when the fuck is the Sun gon' come up?

And all I want to do is get done up

But the cops wanna fuck my fun up

My best friends say: "You wanna roll a blunt up?"

And everybody wanna be a fucking gangster

And don't nobody wanna go to school no more

I know that you ain't showing me the same love

I guess you and me ain't cool no more

Bunch of candyman niggas like so for real (?)

And shorty I ain't lying, I'm so for real

I'm pretty sure dreams do come true

And baby I swear I hope they will


[Chorus]

You just need to take all of your problems

And lock 'em all up in this bottle

Then toss that shit in that river

And you ain't never ever have to worry 'bout it, nah

So you could take all of your problems

And lock 'em all up in that bottle

Then toss that shit in that river

And you ain't never ever have to worry 'bout it, nah

You ain't never ever have to worry 'bout it

You ain't never ever have to worry 'bout it

If you just take all of your problems

And lock 'em all up in this bottle, yeah


[Verse 3]

I'm on my LFO shit and you know it

It's Summer time but it's still snowing

And the world don't give a fuck what you doing

It ain't where I'm at it's where I am going

Damn, I'm just trynna be alive when I'm dead

I'm just trynna talk to God when I'm blessed

You just wanna talk to God when you're stressed

So you just wanna talk to God when you're stressed ?!

You're just a motherfucker with a story

In the hood but it's still pouring

And a few of my niggas got warrants

So now I'm running 'round the world like I'm touring

I still run it up the ceiling like Lauryn

No apologies, niggas ain't sorry

But no cake then, a rain, no party

Looking for a job can't pass my quarries

Fuck!


[Chorus]

And I could take all my problems

And lock 'em all up in this bottle

Then toss that shit in this river

And I ain't never ever have to worry 'bout them, nah

I ain't never ever have to worry 'bout it

I ain't never ever have to worry 'bout it

If I could just take my problems

And lock 'em all up in this bottle

I said, you could take all of your

And lock 'em all up in that bottle

Then toss that shit in that river

You ain't never ever have to worry 'bout them, nah

You ain't never ever have to worry 'bout it

You ain't never ever have to worry 'bout it

You just take all your problems

And lock 'em all up in this bottle
