Slippin Lyrics

Ha ha ha ha ha ha uhh 
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 these bags up off my feet so I can tear sh*t 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 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 sh*t "What!" til I split 
and said that I'ma be that seed 
that doesn't need much to succeed 
strapped with mad greed and a heart that doesn't bleed 
I'm 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 wouldn't last but yo I couldn't tell 
group homes & institutions, prepare my as* 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 I'd 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 
That's my only "Howll!" I had offered my last 
Just another little "Come on!!" headed nowhere fast 

[Chorus]

[2]
That ain't the half "Arf!" get's worse as I get older 
actions become bolder heart got colder 
chip on my shoulder that I dared a "Uhh!" to touch 
didn't 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 I'm ready to take something 
3 years later showing signs of stress 
didn't keep my hair cut or give a "Come on!" how I dressed 
I'm possessed by the darker side livin' the cruddy life 
"What!" like this kept a nigga with a bloody knife 
wanna make records but I'm "Wheeew'd!" up 
I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up 

[Chorus]

[3]
Wasn't long before I hit rock bottom 
"Howll!" 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 could've been yo 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 
I've 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 
& 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 you'll get yours because it's due 

[Chorus]

can't get up...I gots to get up 
This is from the heart baby, don't get it twisted 
Ahh X RATED!!!!!
