You know, somebody once told me
That change is the only thin' that will never change
That same person told me that if I wanna change
My circumstances I'll only change
When the pain that it will take to change
Is greater than the pain it actually takes to remain the same
So sayin' that the horror of my situation has to outweigh the discomfort
It will actually take to turn it around
I'm feelin' like I'm fallin' (feelin' like I'm fallin')
And everybody keeps callin' (everybody keeps callin')
And I don't think they know what (I don't think they know)
What I'm goin' through, goin' through, goin' through
What about the late nights? (What about the late nights?)
I was chillin' at the grave site (chillin' at the grave)
I'm feelin' like I hate life (this is what I see when I look at my window)
This is what I'm goin' through goin' through
What am I gonna do??
This for the gangstas in the trap
This is for all the hustlas
This for the woman that just struggles as a single mother
This for the ones house the house livin' on the street
Because they realize that money doesn't grow on trees
This for the ones with an addiction Lord open they eyes
Give them the strength to quit before they overdose and die
These streets are crazy now, Lord it's straight insanity
I done seen prescription pills, ruin a whole family
My mama doin' bad
My cousin in the pen
Daddy drinkin' again
Lord, let this stress end
This for the ones that had to bury they best friend
I'm talkin' crew thick
I'm talkin' next to kin
I'm feelin' like I'm fallin' (feelin' like I'm fallin')
And everybody keeps callin' (everybody keeps callin')
And I don't think they know what (I don't think they know)
What I'm goin' through, goin' through, goin' through
What about the late nights? (What about the late nights?)
I was chillin' at the grave site (chillin' at the grave)
I'm feelin' like I hate life (feelin' like I hate life)
This is what I'm goin' through goin' through
What am I gonna do??
She's such a good woman
Why is she actin' foolish?
She coulda went to college
Coulda been an honor student
Baby daddy died in the streets
She ain't deservin' that
Now she's havin' sex for OC's, tabs, and percocet's
Since the recession can't, nobody get a decent job
So they gotta beat so hard or hit the streets and rob
They work they ass off, but they don't get a day off
If they don't get the payoff, they just surrounded by chaos
What about my nine to fivers
About to go insane
They work they life away
And still ain't got a fuckin' thing
And what about the man that nightly opens up a bottle
'Cause it's the only way he knows to deal with all his problems
I'm feelin' like I'm fallin' (feelin' like I'm fallin')
And everybody keeps callin' (everybody keeps callin')
And I don't think they know what (I don't think they know what)
What I'm goin' through, goin' through, goin' through
What about the late nights? (What about the late nights?)
I was chillin' at the grave site (chillin' at the grave site)
I'm feelin' like I hate life (this is time what am gonna do)
This is what I'm goin' through, goin' through (I will be stayin' window)
What am I gonna do?
Okay I got a deal with triple six and lil white
But put that to the side, this is what I'm livin' like
I got a deal, but I'm so broke it isn't funny
But every time my phone rings they askin' me for money
My niece is fourteen, she's havin' sex that isn't cool
What's even worse, she fucked a 24-year-old dude
Wish that I had the power to pull Dre out the grave
And spend a day goin' to let him watch his kids play
I think about Sams every time I write a song
But I don't take the time to grab the phone and call his mom
I'm sick to my stomach, Lord I ain't feelin' well
Had the same nightmare every night they end up killin' real
Struggle got to fear
Case they want him in a cell
Searchin' for heaven, 'cause right now I feel I live in hell
I thank the Lord that every day that I'm a man of prayer
'Cause if it wasn't for God I wouldn't be stayin' here
Stacy lost a sister right in front of her
That's fucked up
Wish I could find the dude that killed her
And go shoot his truck up
And she keeps callin' me
I know she needs a friend lately
But I'm so bitter I don't take that to consideration
Fuck it I'm sorry Stacy, love you, you knew that
Just call me anytime I'll be there I done proved that
They say that heaven's for the sinners too, I hope it's true
And I'm just tellin' y'all what the fuck I'm goin' through
You see we fear not the things that we know
But we only fear what we don't know
What we're not comfortable with
What we can't see, what's not tangible to us
But the Bible says that faith is the substance of things
Hoped for and the evidence of things not seen
So sometimes we just have to leap out on a branch of faith
And we all know God honors faith
