(I'm faded than a motherfucker)
Uh, I had three outfits
Didn't take out the trash, get beat with a switch
Growin' up in the octagon wasn't easy
The low man on the totem pole, kids used to tease me
Used to fight dang near every day, I ain't lyin'
Be beatin' a nigga ass and talkin' to him while I'm cryin'
Uh, and that was out of anger
Back then, we used to throw them things, we didn't have bangers
A little later down the line, it became a time where I had to draw the lin?
Uh, I used to kiss my street side
When my mama was at work, I us?d to sneak and drink her wine
When my parents got divorced, I had to get out there and grind
You probably heard me bring this subject up a few times
Uh, my relative short, shot him a kite
He said when he get out, he gon' get his life right
I been tryna get my life right
I been tryna get my life right
I been tryna get my life right
I been tryna get my life right
I was caught up in the nightlife (Ooh)
Now I'm tryna get my life right
On the block, I was outside (Oh)
Now I'm tryna get my life right (Oh)
If you ain't notice, I been spendin' time tryna turn it over
Inside the streets, due to that iron, I done lost so many soldiers
From hard drugs, now I'm finally sober
So blessed and I'm a slime, I'm beggin' God for to bring me closer
I can never live this over
Wishin' I could take the pain from off of your mama face
And my money could never buy the cure to heal her heartbreak
Only think that I can say
Can you join me on this journey? I been workin' for to see some better days
My heart gettin' colder, but it ain't over, I know I'm gettin' older and I'm cryin' for a change
Tell youngin, "Put that iron down, I'll buy you a new chain"
Go to school and show some progress, I'll buy you a new Range
I ain't the one for to look up to, but I can show you a few things
Like, these people just wan' see you lose, you who entertain
I ain't the only one that's broken, take a look inside the game
Tell my grandma that I'm focused, I became a made man
I been tryna get my life right
I been tryna get my life right
I been tryna get my life right
I been tryna get my life right
I was caught up in the nightlife
Now I'm tryna get my life right
On the block, I was outside
Now I'm tryna get my life right
Any time I think devilsih, I holler at God
He answers me back 'cause that's my side hob
Doin' hella extra shit'll get you killed
It's all fun and games 'til shit get real
You can call me a square 'cause I'm wiser and older
One thing about a square, it's hard to roll a square over
Uh, I learned that when I was a teen
What people fail to realize is all the game come from fiends
They got hella knowledge like a scholar
On the streets, they doin' bad, but in the pen', they some shot callers
That's why you don't judge a book by its cover
Build with each other, stop tryna kill one another
My tank on E from off of forty, I been known to get it started
Whole life sad, on drugs bad, I ain't want them to record it
Fell a victim to some situations, left me real heartless
I'm promotin' peace, this for me, I ain't worried about no charges
Gotta carry out my plan, I ain't leavin' how I came
All this money, I'd be a fool if I remained the same
Me and prisoners inside a private plane
Headed to another jail, you don't wanna feel my pain
And I just wanna live real slowly, let 'em talk down on me, so many kids I gotta feed
Not to a judge, I hit my knees every time and plead
Like, God, can you please save me? Help me stay up out the streets, lil' Top
I been tryna get my life right
I been tryna get my life right
I been tryna get my life right
I been tryna get my life right
I was caught up in the nightlife
Now I'm tryna get my life right
On the block, I was outside
Now I'm tryna get my life right
