(feat. Tyrese) 



[Intro: Tyrese (Mic G)] 

Had a moment to myself (back y'all, it's been a struggle) 

And I asked (I'm here) why me? (and that's cool, yeah) 

All these ups and downs (yeah) 

Ooohhhh no no why me? 



[Verse One: Mic Geronimo] 

A manic depressive, well what could be as bad as this 

Where I'm locked in the bathroom, cuttin my wrists 

Could it be that I'm tired of my life goin one way 

The same-ass struggle from Sunday to Sunday 

Damn, I used to keep a hundred grand 

And it hurts when my girl sayin she don't understand 

And she cry too, sayin baby they denied you 

And you got them haters in the game who despise you 

Or could it be that I've been livin in a fantasy 

Thinkin niggaz really cared, sayin they were family? 

A bad dream, seein 'em stand around 

And they watched me drown, I heard they mock me now 

Well fuck 'em! Now that I'm gettin back on my feet 

And I'm focused we all gon' sit down to eat 

And the streets said Mic man we need you back 

The game's a puzzle and son, you a piece of the rap 

And I love dat, that's why I'm doin what I'm doin 

Y'all and God the only things gettin me through it 

And when the rain rains hard, the sun will shine 

I'm only here to get mine, seen? 



[Chorus: Tyrese (Mic G)] 

No one ever said it would be easy 

I know it takes a lot, to get by (yeah, I'm alive) 

Even when they ain't makin no room for me 

I'm makin room for me, watch me fly (yeah) 



[Verse Two: Mic Geronimo] 

Now, now - if you could see the pain in my eyes 

Shit I flew through the back windshield of my ride 

And I damn near died, and uhh 

What I've been goin through about three years 

It's been enough winter here I couldn't shed no tears 

Imagine losin everything you ever owned 

From your ice, crib, your whip, your girl and home 

And then, you and only you alone, gettin by 

And the man in the mirror he ain't nothin but a lie 

So you try hard, but you not gettin richer 

And you grind hard, but they won't see the picture 

So you say now, maybe I should leave the pain 

Hurts so bad, there's nothin I could never explain 

Then I said to myself, you control everything 

that's around you, nigga you the master 

Nigga suck it up, get your weight up, avoid your disaster 

Longer, stronger, harder, faster 



[Chorus] 



[Verse Three: Mic Geronimo] 

Before they speak a word against me, I have no shame 

Had to run and pull my chain in the pourin rain 

Before they, spread lies they best be raisin some questions 

I done, made mistakes I done learned from my lessons 

They gon' tell you my temper had me out of control 

I was blinded by the pot and wouldn't look at the road 

Some'll even say the closest motherfuckers to me got me 

by genorosity, prayin that my haters'll stop me 

Fuck 'em, I don't care, they gon' walk anyway 

Fuck 'em, I don't care, they gon' talk anyway 

And I've been through the drama, see this life's a strain 

Hope you never see what I did of the hurt and pain 

And I walk through this road with a cross to bear 

No mistakes I can think of or care to share 

Now I'm here, I'm a live mine 'til my death 

Kill the game 'til nothing's left, I'm alive 



[Chorus x2: w/ ad libs by Tyrese] 



[Tyrese] 

Everything I do, everywhere I go 

They don't wanna see me grow 

They don't want me goin all the way 

I asked myself, why me? Why? 

Why don't they love me? 

They want it gone anyway, why they gotta pull me down? 

Everytime I try to come up, wanna pull me down 

All the way down 

'Til I have nothin left 

What did I do to you? Oh no no 

What have I done to set them to?
