I don't seem to catch a break but i appreciate the breaks I do get. Happy Holidays.
lyrics
Just when i get up
Then i get back down… set back
Just when i get lift up
I get put down forget that
I try be the bigger man but i often regret that
I shoulda left it alone
Let it fester Manifest on its own
Demons come but me cyan get rid em
Same ol ting but me nah get ritalin
Things get hard and I break like cinnamon
Times like these i wish i was
kid again who am i kidding man
Know that I stay with the shits like a chitterling
Look at my calendar
I couldn’t fit it in
Got a new challenger
How can i win again?
If i get a W
Then it will trouble you
What am i gonna do
Cause If i get a W
Then it will trouble you
What am i gonna do
Cause i cant live wit an L
So i gotta give niggas hell
Forgiveness is a kept cell
I wept and i left you trail
You slept on me watch i prevail
I don’t have the time to exhale
I look at my watch and i yell
Just when i get up
Then i get back down set back
Just when i get lift up
I get put down forget that
I try be the bigger man but i often regret that
I shoulda left it alone
Let it fester Manifest on its own
Just when i get up
Then i get back down set back
Just when i get lift up
I get put down forget that
I try be the bigger man but i often regret that
I shoulda left it alone
Let it fester Manifest on its own
When a man does not feel appreciated in the area of his presence
He becomes a version man that he can give you and still survive
And i promise you you will not like that version
We just go through the motions
Everyday hoping filled with emotion
Demons wan to acost him
Moving with causing
And we just i lost em yeah
Ain’t no reciprocity
They philosophy
take and never give back
Possibly
building animosity
But nobody round here wants to see that
Think you get respect
but never give respect
A fantasy dat
Trying to tame a lion
With the same alliance
Id like to see that
I already came defiant
And remain defiant
I’m getting me back
And there way that i am
Staying quiet
Die and lay on my back
But if i get double you
Then it will trouble you
What am i gonna do
Cause If i get a W
Then it will trouble you
What am i gonna do
Cause i cant live wit an L
So i gotta give niggas hell
Forgiveness is a kept cell
I wept and i left you trail
You slept on me watch i prevail
I don’t have the time to exhale
I look at my watch and i yell
Just when i get up
Then i get back down… set back
Just when i get lift up
I get put down forget that
I try be the bigger man but i often regret that
I shoulda left it alone
Let it fester Manifest on its own
Just when i get up
Then i get back down… set back
Just when i get lift up
I get put down forget that
I try be the bigger man but i often regret that
I shoulda left it alone
Let it fester Manifest on its own
