Slippin Lyrics


    Slippin'


    Ha ha ha ha ha ha uhh
    This life shit is like bug the fuck out fa real
    See to live is to suffer but to survive
    Well that's to find meaning in the suffering.

    Chorus
    Ay yo i'm slippin' i'm fallin' i can't get up
    Ay yo i'm slippin' i'm fallin' i can't get up
    Ay yo i'm slippin' i'm fallin' i gots to get up
    Get me back on my feet so i can tear shit up!
    (repeat)

    -1-
    I been through mad different phases like masons
    To find my way & now i know that happy days are not far away
    If i'm strong enough i'll live long enough to see my kids
    Doing something more constructive with they time
    Than bids i know because i been there
    Now i'm in there (uhh)
    Sit back & look at what it took for me to get there (uhh)
    First came the bullshit the drama with my mama
    She got on some fly shit til i split
    And said that i'ma be (whooh)
    That seed that doesn't need much to succeed (uhh)
    Strapped with mad greed and a heart that doesn't bleed (what)
    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 (c'mon)
    Going too fast it wouldn't last but yo i couldn't tell
    Group homes & institutions, prepare my ass for jail (uh-huh)
    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? (uhh)
    Back on the scene at 14 with a scheme (uhh)
    To get more cream than i'd ever seen in a dream (uhh)
    And by all means i will be living high off the hog (what)
    And i never gave a fuck about much but my dog (what)
    That's my only muthafucka i had offered my last
    Just another little nigga headed nowhere fast

    Chorus

    -2-
    That ain't the half (uh)
    Shit get's worse as i get older (uh-huh)
    Actions become bolder heart got colder (uh-huh)
    Chip on my shoulder that i dared a nigga to touch
    Didn't need a click cause i scared a nigga that much (c'mon)
    One deep with a bitch, started for kicks
    Catchin' vicks throwin' bricks (uh)
    Gettin by bein' slick (uh)
    Used to get high to get by (what)
    Used to have to puff my l
    In the morning before i get fly (what)
    I ate something a couple of forties made me hate somethin' (uh-huh)
    I did some coke now i'm ready to take something (uhh)
    3 years later showing signs of stress
    Didn't keep my hair cut or give a fuck how i dressed (ohhh)
    I'm possessed by the darker side livin' the cruddy life
    Shit like this kept a nigga with a bloody knife (c'mon)
    Wanna make records but i'm fuckin it up (why)
    I'm slippin' i'm fallin' i can't get up

    Chorus

    -3-
    Wasn't long before i hit rock bottom (uh)
    Niggas talking shit like damn look how that rock got him (uh)
    Open like a window no more indo look at a video (uh)
    Sayin' to myself that could've been yo ass on the tv
    Believe me it could be done somethin's got to give
    It's got to change cause i've got a son (yes)
    I've got to do the right thing for shorty
    And that means no more getting high drinking forties (c'mon)
    So i get back lookin' type slick again (uh)
    Fake niggas jump back on my dick again (uh-huh)
    Nothin' but love for those that know how it feel
    & much respect to all my niggas that kept it real
    Kept a nigga strong (uh)
    Kept a nigga from doin' wrong (uh)
    Niggas who they is and this is yo fuckin song (uh)
    And to my boo who stuck with a nigga through
    All the bullshit you'll get yours because it's due (c'mon c'mon)

    Chorus

    See, this is that shit
    This is that shit
    That all real niggas can relate to
    This is from the heart baby, don't get it twisted
    Ahh x baby!!!!!
