Ok, my life's a roller coaster ride Tryin' to get close to God... Yeah Ok, my life's a roller coaster ride Tryin' to get close to God They won't stop this gift I got inside I'm goin' against the odds Take away everythang Still can't take what's in my heart Remember them times that I got no applause Nobody was making noise... for the boy I don't wanna be loved I just wanna be heard In them times you feeling like, "What the Fuck?!" You remember these words Take a moment to learn To get to the top gotta start at the dirt And I been through the worst [?] struggle and hustle and work You get what you earn I'm still waitin' on mines Don't know which way to go as if I'm on the road with no signs I felt like Jody till they told me, "Baby boy you gon' rise You're story still is being written. You'll be winning in time." Jump out the bed Brush my teeth Wash my ass Throw my clothes on I'm out the door And to this madness It be hard when you young and black Shit be so tragic And it's young niggas holdin' straps They made us savage I hardly ever see they mommas cry Next to caskets Or a home without a Daddy The fundamentals of family All I see is flower bouquets Homie on Pamblis I was just talkin to him And I still can't understand it Got me runnin' round to get some money quick as I can And get the fuck up out this bitch before I enlight my mans Might just be the reason why this .40 tucked in my pants It's either me or him Just wanna get back home to my fam But it's all about the money fool That's what money do Ain't got no money Then we runnin' up on some else who do But it's all about the money fool That's what money do Ain't got no money Then we runnin' up on some else who do I just wanna fly... wanna fly It's gettin' hard to live But I 'on't wanna die Givin' all I got to give Just to touch the sky Sometimes I wonder why Lord, I wonder why Yeah, Yeah Did you wake up this morning? Did you make it through last night? So many niggas comin' and goin' We just wanna someday get right
