Slippin’ lyrics

[Intro]
This life sh*t, this life sh*t is like
Is like bugged the f*ck out, son, for real
See, to live is to suffer
But to survive
Well, that's to find meaning in the suffering

[Chorus]
Ayo, I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ayo, I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ayo, I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear sh*t up
Ayo, I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ayo, I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ayo, I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear sh*t up

[Verse 1]
I've been through mad different phases like mazes to find my way
And now I know that happy days are not far away
If I'm strong enough, I'll live long enough to see my kid
Doing something more constructive with their time than bids
I know because I been there, now I'm in there (Ugh)
Sit back and look at what it took for me to get there (Ugh)
First came the bullsh*t, the drama with my mama
She got on some fly sh*t, so I split and said that I'ma
Be that seed that doesn't need much to succeed (Ugh)
Strapped with mad greed and a heart that doesn't bleed (What)
I'm ready for the world, or at least I thought I was
Bagging n*ggas when I caught a buzz
For thinking about how short I was (Come on)
Goin' too fast, it wouldn't last, but yo, I couldn't tell
Group homes and institutions prepared my ass for jail (Uh-huh)
They put me in a situation forcing me to be a man
When I was just learning to stand without a helping hand
Damn, was it my fault, something I did
To make a father leave his first kid at seven doin' my first bid? (Ugh)
Back on the scene at fourteen with a scheme (Ugh)
To get more cream than I'd ever seen in a dream (Ugh)
And by all means I will be livin' high off the hog (What)
And I never gave a f*ck about much but my dog (What)
That's my only mothaf*cka I hit off with my last
Just another lil n*gga headed nowhere fast
[Chorus]
Ayo, I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ayo, I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ayo, I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear sh*t up
Ayo, I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ayo, I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ayo, I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear sh*t up

[Verse 2]
That ain't the half, sh*t gets worse as I get older
Actions become bolder, heart got colder
Chip on my shoulder that I dared a n*gga to touch
Didn't need a clique 'cause I scared a n*gga that much
One deep with the pit startin' sh*t for kicks
Catchin' vics, throwin' bricks, gettin' by bein' slick
Used to get high, just to get by
Used to have to puff my L in the morning before I could fly
Ate somethin', a couple of forties made me hate somethin'
I did some coke, now I'm ready to take somethin'
Three years later showin' signs of stress
Didn't keep my hair cut or give a f*ck how I dressed
I'm possessed by the darker side, livin' the cruddy life
sh*t like this kept a n*gga with a bloody knife
Wanna make records but I'm f*ckin' it up
I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
[Chorus]
Ayo, I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ayo, I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ayo, I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear sh*t up
Ayo, I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ayo, I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ayo, I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear sh*t up

[Verse 3]
Wasn't long before I hit rock bottom
n*ggas talkin' sh*t, like, "Damn, look how that rock got him!"
Open like a window, no more indo
Look at a video, sayin' to myself: "That coulda been yo
Ass on the TV," believe me, it could be done
Somethin's got to give, gots to change 'cause now I've got a son
I gots to do the right thing for shorty
And that means no more gettin' high, drinkin' 40s
So I get back lookin' type slick again
Fake n*ggas jump back on my di*k again
Nothin' but love for those that know how it feel
And much respect to all my n*ggas that kept it real
Kept a n*gga strong, kept a n*gga from doin' wrong
n*ggas know who they is and this is your f*ckin' song
And to my boo who stuck with a n*gga through
All the bullsh*t, you'll get yours because it's due
[Chorus]
Ayo, I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ayo, I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ayo, I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear sh*t up
Ayo, I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ayo, I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up
Ayo, I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear sh*t up

[Outro]
See, this is that sh*t, this is that sh*t
That all real n*ggas can relate to
This is from the heart, baby
Don't get it twisted
X, baby
