[Intro] This is my story, my struggle, uh My bittersweet symphony, my pain, check it
[Verse 1] Food getting lower, money coming slower Damn land lord keep bitching cause you owe her I'm too afraid to grow up, I pray to God I blow up And roll up in something foreign where the front doors go up I wonder if my peers could hear my prayers The only nigga got me scared is the man upstairs When my back against the wall, I'mma face my fears I'll swallow my pride 'fore I swallow a tear Cause I be going hard, Stevie on his job I'm praying until something happen, I'm answering to God These wolves got me scarred I try so hard to survive, guess just to prosper gotta strive
[Verse 2] Then I hit the stage, all gone and blazed Everybody know my name and the song I sing I rejoice my pain and they doing the same And the haters gonna hate, I'm just doing my thing Got my bad bitch with me she so dangy Said she love ASAP cause we so tangy Living life fast so I feel like kids And I'm blowing up fast so I feel like B.I.G With the Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis Now we doing deals with the major businesses Get a little change, niggas feel a little strange Uh-oh truck flow, pull off in a range Niggas say I changed but I'm living it up Shit if money didn't change you, you ain't getting enough Fuck coppin a car, I'm Tryna fly to the stars Smooth on the moon and I be mobbing to mars Niggas say I'm ill, y'all ain't telling me shit Nights that I cried, y'all ain't help me with shit Ooh money change drastic, The coupe do gymnastic The doors lift up and the roof do a back flip Zooming through traffic, probably with a bad bitch Slash actress and we on our way to Saks Fifth Life was so tragic, all of that was past tense Now I'm living lavish, this got to be magic
[Outro] If I should die before I wake Pray the lord my soul to take As I lay me down to sleep Pray the lord I rest in peace If I die before I wake Please enjoy the songs I sing As I lay me down to sleep Pray the lord I rest in peace
