Ha ha ha ha ha ha uhh
See to live is to suffer but to survive
well thats to find meaning in the suffering.
Ay yo Im slippin Im fallin I cant get up
Ay yo Im slippin Im fallin I cant get up
Ay yo Im slippin Im fallin I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit !
Ay yo Im slippin Im fallin I cant get up
Ay yo Im slippin Im fallin I cant get up
Ay yo Im slippin Im fallin I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit !

I been through mad different phases like Masons
to find my way & now I know that happy days are not far away
If Im strong enough Ill live long enough to see my kids
doing something more constructive with they time than bids
I know because I been there
now Im in there sit back & look at what it took for me to get there
First came the 'Howll!! ' the drama with my mama
she got on some fly shit 'What!' til I split
and said that Ima be that seed
that doesnt need much to succeed
strapped with mad greed and a heart that doesnt bleed
Im ready for the world or at least I thought I was
baggin 'Uhh!' when I caught a buzz for thinking about how short I was
Going too fast it wouldnt last but yo I couldnt tell
group homes & institutions, prepare my ass for jail
They put me in a situation forcin me to be a man
when I was just learnin to stand without a helpin hand
Damn, was it my fault, somethin I did
to make a father leave his first kid at 7 doin my first bid?
Back on the scene at 14 with a scheme
to get more cream than Id ever seen in a dream
and by all means I will be living high off the hog
and I never gave a 'What!!' about much but my dog
Thats my only 'Howll!' I had offered my last
Just another little 'Come on!!' headed nowhere fast
Ay yo Im slippin Im fallin I cant get up
Ay yo Im slippin Im fallin I cant get up
Ay yo Im slippin Im fallin I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit !
Ay yo Im slippin Im fallin I cant get up
Ay yo Im slippin Im fallin I cant get up
Ay yo Im slippin Im fallin I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit !

That aint the half 'Arf!' gets worse as I get older
actions become bolder heart got colder
chip on my shoulder that I dared a 'Uhh!' to touch
didnt need a click cause I scared a 'Uh huh' that much
One deep went to for kicks
catchin vicks throwin bricks gettin by bein slick
used to get high to get by used to have to 'Howl!!'
in the morning before I get fly
I ate something a couple of forties made me hate somethin
I did some 'Arf' now Im ready to take some
3 years later showing signs of stress
didnt keep my hair cut or give a 'Come on!' how I dressed
Im possessed by the darker side livin the cruddy life
'What!' like this kept a nigga with a bloody knife
wanna make records but Im 'howl!' up
Im slippin Im fallin I cant get up
Ay yo Im slippin Im fallin I cant get up
Ay yo Im slippin Im fallin I cant get up
Ay yo Im slippin Im fallin I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit !
Ay yo Im slippin Im fallin I cant get up
Ay yo Im slippin Im fallin I cant get up
Ay yo Im slippin Im fallin I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit !

Wasnt long before I hit rock bottom
'howl!' was like damn look how that 'how that' got him
Open like a window no more Indo look at a video
sayin to myself that couldve been yo on the TV
believe me it could be done somethins got to give
its got to change cause Ive got a son
Ive got to do the right thing for shorty
and that means no more getting high drinking forties
So I get back lookin type slick again
Fake 'What!' jump back on my 'Uhh uh huh!' again
Nothin but love for those that know how it feel
Then much respect to all my 'Come on! !' that kept it real
Be strong kept a from doin wrong
'Uhh' who they is and this is yo 'What uhh!'song
and to my boo who stuck with a 'Arf!' through
all the bullshit youll get yours because its due
Ay yo Im slippin Im fallin I cant get up
Ay yo Im slippin Im fallin I cant get up
Ay yo Im slippin Im fallin I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit !
Ay yo Im slippin Im fallin I cant get up
Ay yo Im slippin Im fallin I cant get up
Ay yo Im slippin Im fallin I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit !
