Oh, you feel that as I take you to them dirt roads Deep down in your southern roots Where nobody said life was gon be easy And we travel through this emotional rollercoaster called life And we have our ups and downs Just keep in mind when you hit rock bottom There ain't nowhere to go but up, baby Just all about how you deal with it, ya feel me, listen here
When life seems hopeless It make a nigga lose focus Empty beer bottles and roaches Helps to get it off my chest 'Cause I'm so stressed And all I hear is fuck the world
When life seems hopeless It make a nigga lose focus Empty beer bottles and roaches Helps to get it off my chest 'Cause I'm so stressed And all I hear is fuck the world
Man, ever since life's been a gamble My life's been in shambles Double-edge swords burning both sides of the candle But Chris, you can't handle the truth Don't wanna face reality So Lord, accept my apology Please like when police say freeze And I ain't do shit but I'm down on my knees
It's a crooked system but gin straight take the pain away I charge the game and put my problems on layaway A black man but I feel so blue So I smoke green and purple 'til my dreams come true And my eyes turn red, the sky turns gray Children slangin' white in the hood, we call it yay Drinkin' Ol' Gold down my yellow brick road Then we write my script until my story's untold See I got a little money and my life's fed up Now I'm fallen and I can't get up
When life seems hopeless It make a nigga lose focus Empty beer bottles and roaches Helps to get it off my chest 'Cause I'm so stressed And all I hear is fuck the world

I had a dream about a dope fiend And it's strange 'cause he get a Bentley right away Seem to get just for 'bout anything Pure survival, I want to talk with him He said he was too busy for that But I was more than willing to walk with him
So as we walked, he talked and I just listened He said there's a big difference between crackers and niggaz And he said white folks look out for the white folks But, uhh, black folks blame other black folks When there ain't enough black folks
But yo, to make a long story short We need to pay more attention And do things that's way more convincing He told me you know, I wouldn't say something That wasn't worth it And I damn sure wouldn't waste my time Tellin' you something that'll hurt you
It's your fault for anything if you don't stand For something that's for certain But niggaz don't be listenin' and that shit be hurtin' Not, not all of us but some of us And if we don't hurry up They gon bury each and every life of us
When life seems hopeless It make a nigga lose focus Empty beer bottles and roaches It helps to get it off my chest 'Cause I'm so stressed And all I hear is fuck the world
When life seems hopeless It make a nigga lose focus Empty beer bottles and roaches You know it helps to get it off my chest 'Cause I'm so stressed And all I hear is fuck the world
Sometimes I can't deal with my daily issues Just being sober Life's a bitch and I can't control her I wish I could and sometimes to cry on we need a shoulder The government stand us up to run us over And in the hood, they don't seem to understand, goddamn What's really got me wondering if this part of the bigger plan? Man, I smell something fishy going on
It's way beyond blowing away the smoke From all of swishas going on There ain't much that I
