[Hook: Z-Ro]

Too many problems on my mind

Living shife is starting to be a full time grind

I'm just trying to live my life

But somehow peace is something I'll never find

Too many problems on my mind

Living shife is starting to be a full time grind

I'm not trying to lose my life

But if I do, I wanna' meet Jesus Christ

[Verse 1: Trae Tha Truth]

I never thought that I would have to be back like this

But my pain never let me get away

I don't wanna' be up under the grave

But every time I turn around

There ain't another nigga safe where I stay

I know I can't get around it, cause it's a part of life

And everybody got to go sometimes

80% of my niggas dead, the other 10 locked

The last 10, around here crying

Lord I feel like this can't be fair to a nigga

But I know that I got to make due

Too many situations will put a brick wall up on a nigga

But either way I got to make it through

I know a lot of shit come my way, but it's ok

I know it probably could've been a lot worse

I ain't dead, I ain't in a hearse

But still I got to deal with the fact that a nigga feeling curse

I need to let it out, so I spit it in a verse

And it ain't too safe, but it's stuck in my chest

Now a days, I don't even wanna' answer my cell phone

Cause that's bad news at it's best

Fuck rest, I never ever seen peace

Unless it was a piece that I was packing on the block

Hard times ain't too far, that's why I stay strapped

And pray to God so that he can make it stop

Shife ain't the way that a nigga wanna be

But circumstance can get a nigga put up in a cross

I don't wanna' take another loss

But a nigga stress got me looking teary eyed when I floss

Death ain't never been a friend of mine in my life

And I bet that nigga know my name

I've been fighting with his ass for 24 years

And with the way shit look, ain't nothing gon' change

[Hook]

[Verse 2: Trae Tha Truth]

I got my phone call the day my nigga done got hit with a bid

Probably for the things that he did

I don't wanna' see my nigga doing time

And he said I was all that he had, with his wife and his kids

How the fuck am I supposed to deal with that?

Plus my nigga never did nothing wrong

Now I gotta know my nigga locked up in a steel cage

With a thought that he never coming home

I don't wanna' feel certain shit, but I know that I got to

I never knew why I got to run to a nigga

All I ever wanted was a piece of mine

Plus I got fate but I feel like it ain't coming to a nigga

Every other day, my little boy sick

But I'm getting strong every time I see him smile

I don't give a fuck what them folks telling me bout Nick

They can never understand my child, plus Little Gerald ain't mine

But I promised to God for them two, I'll put it on the line

They the only ones left that remind me of me

Long as they live, I give a fuck if I'm dying

I remember, back when Nicky got that time

My nigga Ship helped me to maintain

To put up my fucking nigga who lost his T-Jones

I know it's only right for me to go and do the same

I gotcha', I ain't finna' let nothing happen to ya' my nigga

Just know that ya' gotta stay strong

Look at all the bullshit I go through

Probably only one-eight off it make it to a song

Something, I put up then I go into a zone

With a attitude niggas better leave me alone

Ain't too many other ways a nigga understand

Unless this man put a hot slug in his dome

[Hook]

[Verse 3: Trae The Truth]

Motherfuckers never understand why I feel like I do

Until they start to get it like I do

Everybody now a days, think they can take it like I do

But never see the shit I go through, I been a grown man

How the fuck am I supposed to cope

Watching my nigga laying stretched out

Shit be so close, I don't know who gonna' be next to go

That's why guerrilla stay stressed out

I don't wanna' do time in a pen for me killing a nigga

But I ain't finna' let 'em broke me off

Plus Dickey taught me not to ever let a nigga get close

So they can never get to fuck me off

My nigga we do it Ag-town in the street it fucking me up

Cause they fam with the wrath of Trae

And every time I spit it out for the hood

I be repping the squad, and let 'em know that I be blue over grey

I ain't been around much, but I swore my niggas on my mind

And I don't wanna' be by myself

And I don't know who to trust when I hit the block by myself

So I proceed to be by myself, and every time I get sad

I'm in the zone all by myself and so I gotta' roll by myself

And I don't need no friend no bitch, so I find myself

I'm in the class all by myself, I'm on they ass all by myself

Stress run at me like a relay

Plus I never get to win, I really don't wanna' sin

But I know if I want to survive and lead back to the dividends

I hope God get to hear a nigga cry, as time goes by

And I can finally get to ease my mind

But for now I gotta' deal with the life that I don't wanna' deal

And hope everything'll be fine

[Hook]
