| (Who's to blame for the state I’m in
|
| I play my cards but somehow can’t win)
|
| Listen when life leaves you beaten up
|
| Don’t lay around in it, hurry pick them pieces up
|
| Cling closely to the people you love
|
| They’re your umbrella when the weathers tough
|
| See to it that your head is up
|
| If not just remember this
|
| Just never let your chest and your chin touch in public
|
| Those that stand against us would love this
|
| Man fuck them, something’s bugging em'
|
| They feel inadequate or something and that’s been dug in em'
|
| So deep they can’t stand someone else making shit
|
| Player hatred, same concept created Satan
|
| Play em, no never mind let em play their part
|
| They’re here to make us prove we are what we say we are
|
| We say we are the hard hearted
|
| Been discarded from everything we’ve ever been part of
|
| They just robbed it
|
| Unguarded, tormented and tortured
|
| And got nothing but scars and grey hairs to show for it
|
| Fuck that, every stone that’s ever been cast or blow that ever landed
|
| Helped to build that man that’s standing before your bitch ass
|
| And back to wreak havoc and never retired, retreated or recanted
|
| I, don’t expect you to have stood where I’m standing
|
| Why, respect is the only thing I’m demanding
|
| Try, you and I could build this understanding
|
| You can’t honestly shake unless you know where my hand’s been brother
|
| This is a piece of my puzzle now
|
| Through the years I found peace in my struggle now
|
| If we were put here to carry a great weight
|
| The very things we hate are here to build those muscles
|
| This is a piece of my puzzle now
|
| Through the years I found peace in my struggle now
|
| (Who's to blame for the state I’m in — Yours truly
|
| I play my cards but somehow I can’t win)
|
| Listen I was taught that mistakes made with great intentions
|
| Were never sins but where life lessons begin
|
| Now that I’m 27, single father starting over yet again
|
| I am who I have to forgive
|
| Lost my mumma to cancer, closed a 10 year chapter shortly after
|
| Can’t deny that was some shit
|
| Alone in this life would’ve been at my throat with a knife chop
|
| Were it not for my passion to live
|
| Follow my soul, not that I don’t know the penalty
|
| But that’s the legacy that I pass to my kids
|
| Heard of shining in the heat of the moment
|
| And won my freedom the moment I realized that’s what this…
|
| I can’t believe my eyes Lord
|
| I don’t know what I’m seeing
|
| I done watched them smash into little pieces everything I’ve been building
|
| I can’t believe my ears Lord
|
| I don’t know what I’m hearing
|
| I heard they smash into little pieces everything I’ve been building
|
| (Who's to blame for the state I’m in
|
| I play my cards but somehow I can’t win) |
