I ain't nothing but a quater of a century
Uh uh uh uh uh uhh
I can't take no more pain

I was born in dade county, product of da bottom, livin n da Gutta learned a lot bout survival. Streets, dnt luv em, Niggas, dnt trust em, Women u can fuck em but b careful fo u luv em cuz bitches ain't shit and the hoes ain't either, so if u find a lady then u may just wanna keep her, watch out fa da reaper cuz he b on the prowl, and any given day it goes down knw what im tlkn bout, keep dem hatas out ya mouth knw what im tlkn bout, keep dem snakes out ya house knw what im tlkn bout, DAMN I MISS MY UNCLE, HOLD MY SPOT IM COMIN, u know i treat ya son like a brother and even though i luv her i ain't fukn witcha ya mother i ain't fukn witcha sistas they say i got issues, i say they trippin so i luv em frm a distance. my family ain't a family i learned that the hard way, ran outta money now nobdy ever call me, and friends ain't easy to come by, i keep my faith n 1 guy i pray that somehow some way i make it out one day, niggas i graduated wit is fatal to gunplay, and i ain't nthin but a "Quarter of a Cetury" the smile on da face of my daughter do some shit to me, these crackers got a system but i can't let this shit get to me, if i ain't have a baby i'd b n the penitentary, and whats the sense in me hatin my father? i made it and its over Lord Knows i can't fault him! we all have problems he faced em like a man, he told me "im sorry" so thankful i am, so grateful i am, we made it thru da worst, it happened fo a reason even though it hurt, alotta lessons learned, bridges burnt, no worries, i weathered the storms, hurricanes, snow flurries. Feelin like Kayne tryn get my money right if, broke is a joke then i ain't wit that funny life. and its funny how my teachers ain't care, they was sleepin n class but my teachers can't fail, its hard but its fair MAN THATS A BUNCH OF BULLSHIT, its built fo us to fail thats why niggas be on that hood shit, blowin on that good shit feelin like fuk it, cuz erytime im sober i feel like nthin! real life stress got me livin on the edge, like any given second i can lose my head! can't get a job cuz these "CRACKERS" won't hire me, monkey on my back 100mph he ridin me, girlfriend lied to me i'll probably never trust her, her baby daddy creep as fuck i swear i wanna bust em but, outta respect i dnt start no drama, even though she lost control and fought my baby momma, yeah i luv her but why the bitch gotta test me, sometimes i wanna hit her but my conscience won't let me! Problem after problem on top of more problems, Got Drama on drama on top of more drama, GOTTA VOTE FOR OBAMA AND PRAY THANGS CHANGE, i can't take no more pain (x2), i b feeln like, ooooh ohhhhh i can't take no more pain, swear i wanna fly like jenny, run like forrest, run and keep goin goin, no one, undastan the pain i feel, sometimes i wanna drown myslf n tears, i b feeln like oooooh ohhhhh ooohhhhh ohhhhh ohhhhh ohhhhhh ooooohhhh ohhhhh i can't take no more pain, its like im climbing up a hill that ain't got no top, shoes got no grip so im slippin n the rocks, but im way to strong, no i will not fall, i swear these pussy "CRACKERS" treat a nigga like a dog, but i gotta stay strong for the sake of Janiya, cuz thats my pride and the fuel to my fire, Body get tired, Mind get weary, Flesh too weak so i feed off the Spirit. MY FATHER BEEN CLEAN LIKE 4 YRS STRONG, NOW MY MAMA ON CLEAN WHAT THE FUK GOIN ON! (x2) i been putting up wit bullshit for 25 yrs now my cousin on trial facing 25 yrs, nobdy wanna hear frm a nigga n the hood but, ima get it clear for the niggas n the hood! Fuk miss America cuz she ain't bout shit! and bitch for the record u can suck my dick! wit a condom on the side so i can skeet n yo mouth, for the way my ancestors was mistreated n the south. AND IM FEELN LIKE KAYNE ONE MO TIME, LIKE FUK MR. BUSH U 'OL PUSSY ASS SWINE! (x2) CHIN UP HIGH, GOT GOD ON MY SIDE I, SWEAR I WANNA MEET HIM BUT, I DNT WANNA DIE! (x2) sometimes i wanna fly but i ain't got no wings, when i think about it i ain't got a God damn thing, but my word, im n pain and it hurts, in a cage like a bird, so i sing my pain, i be feeln like ohhhh ooohhh ooooh oooooohh ohhhhhhh ohhhhh ohhhhh ohhhhhh i can't take no mo pain. i stand in the flames with my sword and a shield, im prepared for the war we can battle right chea!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
