| I give you my all, but it seems like that’s not enough
|
| Now you can get all of me
|
| A lot of things have changed from what I see
|
| Is this the way its supossed to be
|
| Are you in that mood yet, one mo' 'gain
|
| ARE YOU IN THAT MOOD YET
|
| Look, they say tomorrow’s not promised, but if it was I wouldn’t get open
|
| Wouldn’t get souped, them shit’s was made to be broken
|
| 'Member comin' up dudes talkin' 'bout hoes, boastin'
|
| I was just a Juvenile movin in slow motion
|
| I dropped outta school to be a dude with mad jewelry
|
| Once I got it shit wasn’t even cool to me
|
| I dreamt of condos and video vixens
|
| Until I learned most girls in videos is pigeons
|
| I just wanted the world to see that I was for real with it
|
| Wanted a deal, I got it and couldn’t deal with it
|
| I want me and my old homeboys to still kick it
|
| I wish they saw me as Mouse and not a meal ticket
|
| Let the beat play, I wish I could see a day wit no he say, she say,
|
| just wanna see Trey
|
| Wanna play the hood and not fuck with the toasters
|
| Middle child, wish me and my brother was closer
|
| I wanna scream at her, catch myself before I start to
|
| And then remember it takes two people to argue
|
| All she do is provoke me, all I do is diss her
|
| All I did was shake her, she say that I hit her
|
| She just takin' everythin' I say out of context
|
| I’m tryin' not to black, I’m like a nigga with a complex
|
| Was mad as a fuck, didn’t even show it
|
| Yesterday was better off, didn’t even know it
|
| Complete role reversal so it’s useless these days
|
| TV got real, music went fake, please help her for God’s sake
|
| When I proposed to the game I figured life was merry
|
| Five years later I’m feelin' like Tyler Perry
|
| Maybe I’m exhausted, maybe I just lost it
|
| Maybe I should pick up a pen and try n' force it
|
| Same old story, guts and no glory
|
| They tryna low ball me, do him like Joe Torre
|
| I reintroduced myself to the world: I’m Jerz
|
| I’m an artist, I paint pictures, I don’t rhyme words
|
| More than a rapper, I pay attention to detail
|
| But how I do in retail tells me if I prevail
|
| Leonardo ain’t seen these trials and tribulations
|
| Foul situations with some mild stipulations
|
| I feel like being an addict is a curse
|
| It’s somethin' 'bout dude that makes bad shit worse
|
| There’s three types of niggas in this world, you know?
|
| So you either gon' make shit happen (or)
|
| Watch shit happen or (or,) not know what happened
|
| So I couldn’t just sit there like, fuck rappin'
|
| It’s dudes with problems I couldn’t imagine havin'
|
| If I had to have 'em I couldn’t fathom me lastin', like
|
| I used to bump into Tammy in the club
|
| Few of them, she even helped a nigga get in
|
| See a person long enough you know you bound to get fly wit 'em
|
| Care for 'em, be more than «hi» and «bye» with 'em
|
| Its been a while, I can’t front like I ain’t phased
|
| She was my reality check, 'cause we the same age
|
| I mean she put on a show that you can’t stage
|
| She made the shit sound effortless
|
| I was damn near in tears checkin' my messages
|
| I got goosebumps all over my skin
|
| She said, «Mouse, I highly doubt that I’ll ever see you again»
|
| Hope everything is well, kid
|
| You see I’m just findin' out I have a brain tumor, but I never felt it
|
| The doctor’s giving me three weeks to live
|
| Not three weeks 'til I die, that’s three weeks to give
|
| I just wanna tell you that I love you and I care
|
| I wish you all the best throughout the rest of your career"
|
| And then she broke into tears
|
| I pressed seven, took the phone from my ears
|
| Sometimes the simplest of things people need it
|
| But I ain’t call back in fear of being speechless
|
| What was I to put her at ease with
|
| I picked a real bad time to be strategic
|
| I think my life’s bad, picking up the pieces
|
| Some folk already got they appointment to see Jesus
|
| In this world full of diseases
|
| I’ve learned not to bite my tongue or have seizures
|
| Depression tells me I suck
|
| So I reply, I ain’t here 'cause I fell down, I’m here 'cause I got up
|
| And then I’m goin' back and forth with Ransom
|
| Shit came outta nowhere, was real random
|
| According to him, I’m responsible for Jerz too
|
| I never helped niggas, how the fuck you think they heard you |
| Motherfucka’s got a lot of nerve, dude
|
| I was the nigga believed in you spittin'
|
| Had to con the industry just so they would listen
|
| But go 'head, you just gon' rep yourself
|
| How was you protecting me, you can’t protect yourself
|
| Keep the lies to a minimal, just read your interview
|
| I can’t help but ask what’s gotten into dude
|
| Media trainin' but he don’t know how that go
|
| It’d help you come across not soundin' like an asshole
|
| In my past though been to jail, I ain’t enjoy it
|
| So why would I stand behind the mic and exploit it
|
| I ain’t ig’nant, just because I exercise spiritually
|
| They try to ignore how I exercise lyrically
|
| I thought I had a great job
|
| Back when niggas loved the culture, wasn’t in it for the money like a A-Rod
|
| Even when I’m spitting 'bout current events
|
| Its a sublime sayin', who’s more current than him?
|
| So I’m wonderin', if a higher power tryna under-man
|
| When you shoot for the stars, sometimes your gun’ll jam
|
| I ain’t been to Summer Jam
|
| I learned from Lupe: when you dumb it down its just harder to understand
|
| 2008, foes is still near me
|
| So you can think I’m tight as FUCK, I’m still weary
|
| The Geto Boys say its all in the mind
|
| Certain wounds only heal over time
|
| No shame in my game, no pain, no gain
|
| And since I ain’t see a prophet I figured God would stop it
|
| Waitin' on a alley, niggas just won’t lob it
|
| Still a risk taker let me put it in words
|
| Can’t steal second base and keep your foot on first
|
| Been about ten years since I was high off the angel
|
| Now I’m walkin' side by side with an angel
|
| In front of my eyes that prize keep gettin' dangled
|
| But can’t grab at it, my pride is being strangled
|
| Workin' shorty’s nerves like a personal trainer
|
| But its me, its personal, it ain’t her
|
| Friends keep tellin me leave her, I won’t
|
| Cause she sees somethin' in me that I don’t
|
| And I see somethin' in her that ya’ll won’t
|
| If you never been in love don’t tell me I’m wrong
|
| See I preach gratitude, she keeps an attitude
|
| Argue long enough and that shit becomes laughable
|
| My norm now since for her it’s so natural
|
| Wish I could tell her that all them niggas after you
|
| So not compatible, that we compatible
|
| Its nothin' else in this world that we would rather do
|
| Anybody out there relate to my pain
|
| Turn the music up let me know that I’m sane
|
| We broke up, bitches was starin' at my chain
|
| Dude was fuckin' you but starin' at my name
|
| But we ain’t gotta entertain all that
|
| Back like we never left, we overcame all that
|
| Fuck who made better tacos or who’s ass fatter
|
| Let’s live for now, right now, none of that matters
|
| Keep bringin' it up its goin' backlash us
|
| Why am I meeting so many back-stabbers?
|
| Why when I’m about to crash I go faster? |
| Past is a disaster
|
| When your house is see through, learn to close your eyes
|
| In case the Glass shatters
|
| Just sayin', it’s always a million more pages when my stupid ass keep
|
| Thinkin' I’m on the last chapter
|
| No tit for tat, I ain’t equipped for that
|
| Back in New York, chit chat with a Midget Mack
|
| As I get older… I keep gettin' sick of rap
|
| Wanna call it quits, but a nigga can’t picture that… |
