This is my story

My struggle uh

My bittersweet symphony

My pain... Check it;

Food getting lower

Money coming slower

Damn landlord keep bitching cause you owe her

I'm too afraid to grow up

I pray to God I blow up

And roll up in something foreign where the front doors go up

I wonder if my peers

Could hear my prayers

The only nigga got me scared

Is the man upstairs

When my back against the wall

I'm a face my fears

I'll swallow my pride

'Fore I swallow a tear

Cause I be going hard

Stevie on his job

I'm praying to something to happen?

to God

These wolves got me scarred

I try so hard

To survive

Guess just to prosper gotta strive

Then I hit the stage

And gone?

Everybody know my name

And the song I sings

I rejoice my pain

And they doing the same

And the haters gonna hate

I'm just doing my thing

Got my bad bitch

With me she so (dangy?)

Said she love ASAP

Cause we so tangy

Living life fast

So I feel like kids

And I'm blowing up fast

So I feel like BIG

With the super nintendo

Sega genesis

Now we doing deals with the major businesses

Get a little change

Niggas feel a little strange

Uh-Oh truck flow

Pull off in a range

Niggas say I changed

But I'm living it up

Shit if money didn't change you

You ain't getting enough

Fuck cop and the calm?

Tryna' fly to the stars

Smooth on the moon

And I be mobbing to mars

Niggas say I'm ill

Y'all ain't telling me shit

Cause when nights we was ill?

Y'all ain't help me with shit

Ooh money change drastic

Flew through gymnastic

The doors lift up

And the roof do a back flip

Zooming through traffic

Probably with a bad bitch

Slash actress and we on our way to Saks Fifth

Life was so tragic

All of that was past tense

Now I'm living lavish

This got to be magic

If I should die before I wake

Pray the lord my soul to take

As I lay me down to sleep

Pray the lord I rest in peace

If I die before I wake

Please enjoy the songs I make

As I lay me down to sleep

Pray the lord I rest in peace
