Yo yo yo yo, yoTurn my mic up some.. turn my mic up some..Turn my mic, check check, check, turn my mic up someAlmighty, uhh..[Verse One]Lord forgive me nowThis be the best way I know how, to get this outI can't sing so I have to bounceEven though, that's not what my style's aboutI hate this world, sometimes it gets mewhen family and friends are not friendlyI just don't get it - so I sit homein the bassment lights low on the mic and spit itThey plot, to get my scratchNot knowin the time to get where I'm at nowIn my face, like I owe 'em somethinHandout from me, and never did nuttin (word up)They're mad at me, like I changedIt's hard on me Lord, it's wreckin my brainIs it me?I know it can't beSo I ask you, please help me, now[Chorus: R. Kelly - *sampled*]Sometimes I laugh, tryin to keep from cryinIf I was plain out of luck, then tell me who could I trustSee I work so hard, just to get aheadIf it wasn't for God, I'd probably be dead[Verse Two]Uhh, I laugh when ain't nuttin funnyMeanwhile cats wanna count my moneyPlan on me, to get jumped or somethinPlot-ting like E's punk or somethinFeels so strange, how I maintainto last in the game, throughout my fameI'm focused man, the E stay the sameHate when folks call me out my nameDamn Lord, heal my bodyCause I'm mad enough to kill somebodyEven hard to trust my ladyDid she lock me down to have my baby?I know she love me - damn it's nuttinThe world's so corrupt, it got me bugginUhh, I wanna move away like (?)Y'all feel me - yo, R.
