Lyrics:

Haha hahahahahaha
Uh, yo
This life shit, yeah
This life shit is like, it's like
Bugged the fuck out, for real
See, to live is to suffer
And to survive
Well, that's to find meaning in the sufferin

Hey yo I'm slippin, I'm fallin, I can't get up
Hey yo I'm slippin, I'm fallin, I can't get up
Hey yo I'm slippin, I'm fallin, I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit up
Hey yo I'm slippin, I'm fallin, I can't get up
Hey yo I'm slippin, I'm fallin, I can't get up
Hey yo I'm slippin, I'm fallin, I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit up

I been through mad different phases, like mazes
To find my way
And now I know that happy days are not far away
If I'm strong enough I'll live long enough to see my kids
Doin somethin more constructive with they time, than bids
I know because I been there, now I'm in there
Sit back and look at what it took for me to get there
First came the bullshit, the drama with my Mama
She got on some fly shit so I split
And said that I'ma be that
Seed that doesn't need much to succeed
Strapped with mad greed, a heart that doesn't bleed
I'm ready for the world or at least I thought I was
Baggin' niggas when I caught a buzz
For thinking about how short I was
Goin too fast it wouldn't last but yo I couldn't tell
Group homes and institutions, prepare my ass for jail
They put me in the 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 seven doin my first bid
Back on the scene at fourteen
With a scheme to get more green
Than I'd ever seen in a dream
And by all means I will be livin high off the hog
And I never gave a fuck about much but my dog
That's my only mother-fucker I had offered my last
Just another little nigga, headed nowhere fast

Hey yo I'm slippin, I'm fallin, I can't get up
Hey yo I'm slippin, I'm fallin, I can't get up
Hey yo I'm slippin, I'm fallin, I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit up
Hey yo I'm slippin, I'm fallin, I can't get up
Hey yo I'm slippin, I'm fallin, I can't get up
Hey yo I'm slippin, I'm fallin, I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit up

That ain't the half, shit get's worse as I get older
Actions become bolder, heart got colder
Chip on my shoulder that I dared a nigga to touch
Didn't need a clique 'cause I scared a nigga that much
One deep with the pitch, startin shit for kicks
Catchin vicks, throwin bricks, just gettin by bein slick
Used to get high just to get by
Used to have to puff my
L in the mornin before I could fly
I ate somethin, couple a forties made me hate somethin
I did some coke now I'm ready to take somethin
Three years later showin signs of stress
Didn't keep my hair cut or give a fuck how I dressed
I'm possessed by the darker side, livin the cruddy life
Shit like this kept a nigga wit a bloody knife
Wanna make records but I'm fuckin it up
I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up

Hey yo I'm slippin, I'm fallin, I can't get up
Hey yo I'm slippin, I'm fallin, I can't get up
Hey yo I'm slippin, I'm fallin, I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit up
Hey yo I'm slippin, I'm fallin, I can't get up
Hey yo I'm slippin, I'm fallin, I can't get up
Hey yo I'm slippin, I'm fallin, I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit up

Wasn't long before I hit rock bottom
Niggas talkin shit, like damn, look at how that rock got 'em
Open like a window, no more Endo
Look at a video, say to myself, 'that coulda been yo'
Ass on the TV, believe me it could be done
Somethin gots to give, gots to change, 'cause now I got a son
I gots to do the right thing for Shorty
And that means no more gettin high, drinkin forties
So I get back lookin type slick again
Fake niggas jump back on my dick again
Nothin but love for those that know how it feel
And much respect to all my niggas that kept it real
Kept a nigga strong
Kept a nigga from doin wrong
Niggas know who they is and this is yo fuckin song
And to my boo who stuck with a nigga through
All the bullshit, you'll get yours because she's due

Hey yo I'm slippin, I'm fallin, I can't get up
Hey yo I'm slippin, I'm fallin, I can't get up
Hey yo I'm slippin, I'm fallin, I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit up
Hey yo I'm slippin, I'm fallin, I can't get up
Hey yo I'm slippin, I'm fallin, I can't get up
Hey yo I'm slippin, I'm fallin, I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit up

See
(Can't get up)
This is that shit
(Can't get up)
This is that shit
(I gots to get up)
That all real niggas
(Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit up)
Can relate to

This is from the heart, baby
(Can't get up)
(Can't get up)
Don't get intimate
(But I gots to get up)
My
(Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit up)
