It's what it is baby, straight biz baby

We ain't kids baby

We get down like that

It's what it is baby, straight biz baby

We ain't kids baby

We get down like that

Slipping and falling,

This time it got a nigga calling

Up to the lord where I'm crawling

All my nigga getting tired of

Slipping and falling, slipping and falling

Slipping and falling,

This time it got a nigga calling

Up to the lord I'm crawling

All my nigga getting tired of

Slipping and falling,

More money, more problems

I thought more money would solve them

I spent more money in Harlem

That Frank Lucas did before the boys dropped

Now shit done changed

I don't feel it, shit look strange!

I realized shit ain't the same

At the end of the day, shit ain't the game

Nigga go and do it, best slip and fell

Went to the hood, took a trip to hell

Deal when I should, swore my shit sell

Orange knew I could, so I did well

Slipping and falling,

This time it got a nigga calling

Up to the lord where I'm crawling

All my nigga getting tired of

Slipping and falling, slipping and falling

Slipping and falling,

This time it got a nigga calling

Up to the lord I'm crawling

All my nigga getting tired of

Slipping and falling,

[Verse]

If y'all only knew what my life was like

And what I'm going through

Maybe you'd think before you talk,

You gotta crawl before you walk

Think having money is the answer

Money ain't nothing but another form of cancer

Or you can do is watch me die

You don't wanna watch me try

So watch me fly!

But you gonna do is watch me fly

Do my thing from that big stage in the sky

Lord, please, hold me down!

Cause now everybody wanna know me now

Slipping and falling,

This time it got a nigga calling

Up to the lord where I'm crawling

All my nigga getting tired of

Slipping and falling, slipping and falling

Slipping and falling,

This time it got a nigga calling

Up to the lord I'm crawling

All my nigga getting tired of

Slipping and falling,

Please help me! Which way do I go?

Life gives a fuck which face do I show

Cause I know, can't show them all

Even though I slipped and fell I won't fall

Get it? Ok you don't some of y'all will

But most of y'all won't

I'ma keep living life being a man that got bang and

I know only he can save me!

Slipping and falling,

This time it got a nigga calling

Up to the lord where I'm crawling

All my nigga getting tired of

Slipping and falling, slipping and falling

Slipping and falling,

This time it got a nigga calling

Up to the lord I'm crawling

All my nigga getting tired of

Slipping and falling,

I wish you knew, I wish you fucking knew

I won't fall, I don't wanna fall

I wish, aha.
