[Verse 1]

What am I supposed to feel? If you can tell it than let it be known

I'm trying to cope with my emotions and sever what's gone

I think back to when Jeremy Jack died, and I looked in his mother's eyes

And I could still hear Beverly moan

That was the first time seein' my father cryin'

Lightning struck twice on the night that they murdered Brian

My only blessin' was followin' Mama's lessons

And I can hear her screamin' down 'Baby, you better be strong!'

Good advice bubble

But it's only so long that I can go on, before I do find trouble

Or trouble finds me, feel like I'm dreamin'

I gotta deal with these Demons, tell 'em 'Devil you better be gone!'

And find another home. Am I neglecting my family?

I contemplate on whether I did my brother wrong

Or did my sisters bad, because we had different Dads

In this fucked up world, tryin' to weather the storm


[Hook]

So tell me whatchu waitin' on

Whatchu lookin' for, whatchu plan to take along

I can only deal with so much pain

I fucked around and got stuck in the rain

Will I make it home?

So tell me whatchu waitin' on

Whatchu lookin' for, whatchu plan to take along

I can only deal with so much pain

I fucked around and got stuck in the rain


[Verse 2]

I never smoked weed or drank alcohol, to stress I'm a factor

Does that discredit my talent, make me less of a rapper?

I'm less appealin' unless I'm peelin' some rollin' paper

Or would it show I had swag, would it motivate ya?

To want to buy an album, I'm feelin' this lies bitter

Cause when you get some money, you tryin' to get high, swisher

When shit change, then people chase after fame

And haters think I'm to blame, but I feel a different vibe nigga

I'm not immune to the sinnin and seein' shrugs

But I gotta stop fallin' for women I meet in clubs

And I know I'm in no moral position to be a judge

But I never thought expressin' my feelings could be a drug

I can't, keep goin' on like I'm goin' on

Cryin', complainin' none of these women I've moved forward on

And it's so annoyin', I'm tryin' to get back with my last girl

I'm stuck in this mad world


[Hook]

So tell me whatchu waitin' on

Whatchu lookin' for, whatchu plan to take along

I can only deal with so much pain

I fucked around and got stuck in the rain

Will I make it home?

So tell me whatchu waitin' on

Whatchu lookin' for, whatchu plan to take along

I can only deal with so much pain

I fucked around and got stuck in the rain


[Verse 3]

Okay, lately I've been feelin' like I'm wasting my time

Like there's, nothing here to occupy the space in my mind

Except the empty void, nothing can feel, nothing fulfills

What's lackin' except rappin', see, nothing is real

I said some things about a rapper I spit in a harsh rhyme

Not to say I take it back, can't cover a crossed line

But when he lost his mother, I thought it was all fine

Couldn't understand his pain until after I lost mine

How, ironic a situation can become

And why is it I've never met a woman I can reach some

Sort of understandin', the more demandin' they get

The more I push 'em away, the more they think I'm a dick

Lord

Is it me? Will I ever see the lights?

Ski told me a pretty woman equals misery for life

Now I'm thinkin' he was right

Addicted to bad girls, until I give 'em up

I'm stuck in this, Mad World


[Hook]

So tell me whatchu waitin' on

Whatchu lookin' for, whatchu plan to take along

I can only deal with so much pain

I fucked around and got stuck in the rain

Will I make it home?

So tell me whatchu waitin' on

Whatchu lookin' for, whatchu plan to take along

I can only deal with so much pain

I fucked around and got stuck in the rain
