[Chorus] I have tried in vein Never had success So it seems my life is nothing but a mess I have lost, my only friends Now it seems I have to start again Merry go round My life's been goin' around 'n' round since ninety five Went from goin' somewhere about to die Went from callin' my chick a chicken Cause she look like she got poultry around her thighs To callin' your piece a chicken Cause she got no teeth and she got crow feet around her eyes How hard are y'all? I got a heart the size of Arkansas Count to five, these birds gon' hit the ground And they ain't from out the Sky Went from havin' an outta-this-world-flow, To doin' the video, doin' the coon dance To watchin' my good friend Eminem winnin' a moonman I remember cause I was in New York with all of my boys to start shit Lettin' 'em stay with me, long story short, They tore up my corporate apartment Went from bein a kid addicted to basketball To bein' an ignorent nigga addicted to alcohol Round and round we go is how this movie would end Self-proclaimed King of my city, Not really just truly the King of losin' a friend Who would've thought this goof In the park who's true to his ark would lose Or win just by givin' his thoughts 'n' views [Chorus] You would hear that Ryan's skilled Might even hear Ryan kills You will never hear Ryan steals Here to put the "I" in ill My mind is still Like a merry-go-round spill Like leavin' only guns to my kids when I'm killed I got an iron will Intellect as ion I don' went from high on pills To triumph, to hidin' from bills, to buyin' buildin's Then I went from writin' for Dre To wonderin' if my head was on straight on the sidelines Feelin' I forgot about listenin' to "Forgot About Dre" From there I went to about a bottle a day Tellin' who we know "Get outta my face!" Okay I know what Kino said about Dre I look at Kino to this day like that was a stupid mistake But if it wasn't for him doin' that, what would I be doin' today? If it wasn't for Cassius sayin' that he gonna beat my ass Then me and Em probably wouldn't be laughin' bout us gettin' past it If it wasn't for me bein outcasted I woulda never been on the underground Rappin' wit slaughterhouse! [Chorus]
