[Chorus: Emanny]

Ever felt like the World's on your back and you need some love say AYO

And it's hard to keep your life intact while they holdnig yo back, scream AYO

When enough is enough and it feels like

No matter what you do, nothing ever goes right

If you feel like me, let me here you say AYO

[Verse 1: Joe Budden]

Nah, it ain't pills

So if I ain't myself as of late it relates to another ordeal

Don't suggest out ya mouth that maybe I'm stressed out or it's God tryna test Mouse

Everything about me is changing and it's new to me

I'm 29 going through a new puberty

Unusually the niggas that make moves take cues from me and say that I'm acting real foolishly

Well let me just explain my state

I'm thinking at whole nother rate

I hungry but I'm ordering with my eyes so there's too much on my plate

Which means I can't digest what I just ate

Wait, I'm paying too much, stop me or pop me for oxy?

I'm not me, will somebody stop me or copy

And tell calm down nigga, relax

I tell em calm down let me relapse

[Chorus: Emanny]

[Verse 2: Joe Budden]

Yo, they telling me, the change is significant

Standing in the front but can't see what they witnessing

I'm tryna take criminals, litigants, goon type niggas and turn em into business men

Change thinking patterns, give em business sense

Make 'em model citizens, hang me if it's a sin

Watch the cash come, patience I'm past

I'm tryna create demand for a girl who never had none

Be more bright, you fighting me all night

We'll if I died tomorrow I'm a make sure you be alright

Turn students in to teachers, followers to leaders

But I strain my arm the further I try to reach it

Don't mis-read it, I ain't book smart but let's stay on the same page, let me be the bookmark

I know more, I can't take no more so I show more

I kill me so you can have anything you hope for

[Chorus: Emanny]

[Verse 3: Joe Budden]

Ay, you ever try pulling a hat trick without magic

Shit, I'm doing outta habit, it's outta habit

Cause I'll flair up, high temper I'll react quick

And go and try to fist fight a nigga without a ratchet

It's funny, we all go and ask for wealth

But won't none of us, ask for help

Well maybe I need to get some

And I'm like fuck giving nigga's a fish

Follow me and I'm a teach you how to get one

Still they tell me I'm delusional

But there's other niggas under this illusion too

It's Karma catching up and mis-using dudes

I can't think straight, look at what confusion'll do

So I sink my knees in the floor

Gotta be something new gotta be in store?

I make bored outta bad hand

Trust me I got an exact plan

I'm a genius not a mad man

[Chorus]
