[Verse 1] Lately, my luck has taken a turn for the worse I used to ride in luxury, now I'm heading for a hearse At least it feels that way, my day-to-day is full of suffering My headaches can't be relieved by Aspirin or Bufferin Am I tougher than my problems? I'd like to think so But every time I try to rise all I do is sink slow Like I'm out in the Pacific and my vessel capsized Seems like I been going through it since I got baptized (Mr. Jesus, I can feel him all up in my bones) Cause he be giving me game on how to live my life long Can't forget about the angels in the psychiatric center Helping me to feel like I'm a winner Got me taking Lexapro, just so I can improve my mood It got me feeling like I'm giant, all obstacles better move Or get flattened in the process of me reaching to the top Ya'll know that I'm the cream of the crop And all my people say [Chorus] Get your a** up out my way, Satan I got a mansion, robe, and a crown waiting Never again will you catch me living in sin Cause when the pearly gates open I wanna be stepping in Get your a** up out my way, Satan I got a mansion, robe, and a crown waiting I do away with you devils so I can make it to the top And remain sane, even when a n***a dealing with a lot [Verse 2] I'm all alone, but guess what (that's all right) Facing my fears and producing tears (that's all night) Yeah, I'm a grown man but I still cry sometimes Cause I'm a sponge soaking up pain Trying to come out the rain I been doing right all my life And still suffering by murderers and crooks out here bubbling, I need a break So many decisions to make, I can't concentrate Cause everybody in my life is so fake All the years that I wasted loving and trying to build With somebody who was never even feeling me for real I thought I had a family, but out the window it went With all my legal problems and all these beefing with 30 cents I'm a loner Pill on the post, solo on the corner b**h don't know nothing bout Joseph She just want Z-Ro to bone her But I'm old school, till I'm in my burial plot I just need a lady to dig me when I'm dealing with a lot [Chorus] [Verse 3] Ain't no happy feelings in the air So lately I been searching for happiness through my prayers Holy Father, can you hear me when I'm down on my knees? I need a bridge over troubled water, save me please I'm just a lost soul, trying to find its way back home Everything I love has been taken away from me, now I'm alone But it's all good, tell me when the sun gon shine On this nothing a** motherf**ing life of mine Momma, it been twenty years since I seen your face Do me a favor - ask God if I'm included in his grace Cause I'm feeling abandoned, like the last man standing So much poverty and pain, this ain't the way that I planned it All I wanted was to make a little money and split Take care of my people and grow old with grandchildren and sh** I'm still happy, even if my cases don't get dropped And remain sane, even when a n***a dealing with a lot [Chorus]
